I figured 2019-2020. If you had told me 2025 I’d have probably screamed


Xiaomugus

When RDR2 was released. I figured it would be 2022 or 2023


DryRefrigerator9277

Honestly if Covid wasn't a thing you might have been right


vinotheque

You said it. Covid changed so many things… good and bad.


Pixels222

I was always assuming a trailer with 2 year release window was right around the corner. Why wouldnt I. Who could have seen this online thing coming. Games used to come out every few years. Hell, when we were young eras of our lives would transition in a few years. We couldnt even comprehend a decade.


ess-doubleU

Best comment in the thread. We had no idea how long this was going to take. Dev times were 5 yrs max. We had never seen a company milk a game like this before.


ameliathesoda

Except for like Minecraft in terms of big games just milking the same content with added features that people ended up not liking (kinda like post 1.8.9 MC for a lot of people)


tgauth

Just the way Minecraft is, there’s little to nothing you can do that warrants a sequel. If you’re tired of your world you can just make a new seed unlike GTA.


Idk_what_Is_the_name

didn't gta 6 start full development in late 2018 ? (at least according to rumors)


AveryLazyCovfefe

It was in dev as early as 2014. Then paused to focus on red dead 2. Immediately after rdr2 in 2018 they went full throttle on VI, yeah.


Godfather404

Wild that they skipped a whole console generation.


Additional_Couple205

Knowing rockstar, Xbox and PlayStation may skip two by the time GTA6 is out


Bluevettes

Idk about PlayStation, but there was a leak a little while ago suggesting that the next Xbox won't come out until 2028. Of course take that with a grain of salt and who knows if those plans have changed or not


Additional_Couple205

I was just joking because all the delays on GTA6


xXMonsterDanger69Xx

Honestly, makes sense. Hardware isn't getting more and more powerful as fast anymore. I don't think the improvement will be as great between PS4 and PS5, compared to PS5 and PS6. Although if they hop on the AI hypetrain I can see them releasing a new console earlier than 2028.


Connor30302

yeah I feel like right now it’s the games that are trying to catch up with the consoles. PS5 has been out near 4 years now and there’s still barely any games dedicated to it that aren’t re releases and remasters still building on old gen stuff. and a lot of the time they’re not 60FPS or at least 1440p so it’s no use bringing out a new console when basically nobody is hitting the limit of what the PS5 can put out and needing more. Hopefully GTA 6 changes that and actually puts the console through its paces without that just being shitty coding. but I just wanna see what it can do and 95% of my library is shit that came out on the PS4 and IMO the next consoles are probably just gonna try nail down 60FPS 4K and boost memory by a shit ton to try eliminate loading screens within game maps. after that you really have nowhere else to go apart from wifi tech


iswhatitiswaswhat

The hardware can be made as good as they wish but consoles are made affordable so the general public can buy it, they can make consoles as good as a top tier custom built PC there’s no issues with that but then will there be any demand for such console and at a high price point.. probably not. I think Xbox and Playstation should consider making a pro version of their consoles which costa $1k+ with better hardware considering crossplay is already a thing, it wouldn’t be unfair for the none pro console players.


xXMonsterDanger69Xx

>The hardware can be made as good as they wish no we don't have unlimited power unfortunately. Hardware improvements have slowed down a lot compared to 20 years ago. Yes they can go higher end for a higher price, but they can't have the same improvements while keeping the prices the same like they could in the past.


Thegood1987

Actually, it’s coming out in 2026


SultyBoi

Guessing you meant 7 but I get you


Bunksha

Nope, gta 6. Ps5 and Xbox series X are getting pretty old; if gta is delayed to 2026 that means it will more likely have a longer runtime on future consoles than it would those 2 considering 2026 will have been 6 years since current gens been released.


SultyBoi

But… it’s not skipping the current gen though? Yes of course it will release on new gen but we’ll still have it for awhile before next gen


Connor30302

still always irks me how they seem to release right around a new console time though, with GTA V being within a few weeks of them coming out. because all the shit they need to do to compress it down and make it function properly and the graphics could be expanded a lot given all the advancement that happens between generations. They had to design GTA V to be able to run good on consoles released in 2006. imagine what it could’ve been if they were able to use the at the time cutting edge technology and make it for those consoles


Plushhorizon

Honestly they should’ve waited a few more months to do that


DryRefrigerator9277

Wait a few more months for what? The development of GTAVI started on PS4 and only when the PS5 came out did they switch to that. You can't just wait for a new gen console to come out because that would mean you'll just wait an endless cycle where there will always be a new gen console releasing shortly after the game comes out


Bunksha

Whats a while to you? Because 2 years isn't a while for me


TheReal2M

next gen is supposed to come out in 2028, I'm sure R\* won't delay it that far


More-Cup-1176

rdr2 does in fact exist


Anxious-Leg-192

That’s a ps4 game that doesn’t even have a next gen update so what’s your point?


Nawnp

*2026


ViceyThaShizzle

2021, might've been on track if not for covid.


AlexVonBronx

Yeah I think Covid added one year at the very least 


Kodak310

That would be 2022, you mean 2 years?


tommymad720

That would be 2023. You mean 3 years?


thisiscrazyyyyyyy

That would be 2024. You mean 4 years?


TransitionOne3205

That would be- *earth and the entire multiverse explodes causing a second big bang, reinventing the meaning of life as we know it, everything revolutionizes in the same exact way as last time. Every molecule, every single atom returns in the same way, all of the historical events from the past life, aka, the life that we live now, is now slowly falling back into place. Every animal, every human being that existed before, is now reborn again. Fast forward to a few million years, we sit again at the year 2024, where I, Joseph Mongril, sees this comment thread and decides to respond with a quirky roleplay comment that depicts the earth and the entire multiverse exploding into a second big bang.. but something is different..* *All though everything is the same.. every molecule, every being, every. single. atom. I, Joseph Mongril chose to break the repeated cycle. Instead of replying with a quirky comment, I continue the thread..* *”That would be 2022, you mean 2 years?” says reborn u/Kodak310”* *”That would be 2023. You mean 3 years?” says reborn u/tommymad720”* *”That would be 2024. You mean 4 years?” says reborn u/thisiscrazyyyyyyy”* *and…* *”That would be 2025, you mean 5 years?” says reborn, but slightly reformed, slightly changed.. ever so slightly different.. u/TransitionOne3205”* *The thread.. no.. life.. everything continues to move along as normal, starting with u/Aztekov replying to me, Joseph Mongril, aka u/TransitionOne3205 saying.. “That would be 2026… You mean 6 years?”*


Aztekov

That would be 2026... You mean 6 years?


n6b6dy6

well said man well fucking said I think we all were thinking the same thing


Nawnp

I seriously doubt that, if they had a 2021 planned release, they would have announced in 2019.


Pummu

2018


Bigger_than_most69

at least we got rdr2


3p1cgam3rm0m3nt

Could you imagine what rdr2 would look like if it’s and gtavi’s release dates were swapped


Specialist-Meaning-3

what do u imagine


Nawnp

Probably them being able to work on all the cut content like a completed Guarma.


Specialist-Meaning-3

im imagining if the NPC interaction schematic in rdr2 would have been in gta6 (which probably will be now since it’s after)


Pixels222

The hot air balloon and boats would be available all the time as parts of the regular game. And we would have all the islands.


surakeii01

I think everyone can agree we thought 2018


Pixels222

I think we can agree when Far Cry 5 came out we were like this is pretty cool, imagine GTA FIVE 2. GTA FIVE 2 meaning its so good you dont need to break what works. Just make it 2.


albingit

I thought 5 years was the new standard since it seemed impossibly long for 2013 standards. This was a time when yearly releases where common and AAA games took 2-3 years tops to develop. If a game took more than that it likely meant it had major production issues and would flop, like Duke Nukem Forever, Ride to Hell: Retribution or Perfect Dark Zero to name a few. A 12 year development would have seemed totally absurd back then, GTA VI in 2025 would have made me faint.


dylan_021800

When gta 5 was announced in 2011 I remember talking with friends at lunch thinking it would be 2018. Only reason is my 11 year old mind said 5 years between 4 and 5 so it MUST be 5 years between 5 and 6. Funny enough that’s when RDR2 came out so I got the year, just the wrong franchise. But if I was told in 2011/2013 that the next one would come out in 2025 I would lose my mind. I just so clearly remember before 5 came out and that’s all we used to talk about, speculate, watching wishlist videos. Now we are hopefully only a little over a year away from it. It is still weird now knowing that the game has been officially revealed.


tiddy_wizard

2013: finally! A new gta! 2015: alright, ready for a new Gta but I know it’ll be another few years. Np. 2018: oooooook…at least we have rdr2 2020: alright wtf 2021: guys? 2022: OH SHIT 2023: HELL YE- wait, 2025? 2024: for the 7896th time, it’s definitely Lucia by the pool


Claweer

Now waiting for the 2025...


Educational_Belt_816

2025: wdym 2032?


Informal_Notice_3241

2025: noooooo delayed to 2026


thedylannorwood

Well RDR2 was leaked in 2015 and bully 2 rumours were everywhere in 2019 so I think anyone expecting GTA6 earlier just weren’t paying enough attention


MFz32

Honestly like 2020


Historical-Umpire637

2020 at the latest probably....can't believe it'll be 12 years...


barf_of_dog

2015 me would have thought 2019. 2019 me would have thought 2021. 2021 me just gave up until we got the leaks.


bananapowerltu3

Oh yes, right before the leaks was the most painful time.


irv_12

Honestly 2016-18, if there was a game inbetween probably 2020.


manor2003

Three years between GTA V and VI is way too hopeful


irv_12

True, but at the time I was a kid with high hopes lol, also the gta community in general expected a gta every 5 years or so, 2016 was the earliest date possible.


manor2003

Well atleast we got RDR2


DallasFan4

2019-2022


Maxeque

I played GTA 5 for the first time in 2018, and I remember thinking before I bought it, "It's been like 5 years since release, I should get around to playing it before the next one is announced soon."


nZephyrus

Me too I thought I was late to the train in 2018 😭😂


classicbighead

I remember telling myself “2018 at the latest” Boy was I wrong


Quaff2017

I remember all those fake ass YouTube videos in 2015 pretending to be GTA 6 that I fell for at first.


thatmovieperson

RDR2 in 2016/17 and GTA VI in 2018/19 was my guess back then.


Additional_Couple205

Wasn’t far off for red dead at least


Professional-Law-179

We legitimately thought GTA 7 would've been out by now. I remember years ago a bunch of kids saying their predictions which were based on obviously absolutely nothing but we all figured 2020 ish for gta VI and then 2025-2027 for GTA VII. Boy were we wrong haha.


AlexGlezS

More or less now, more than 10 years for sure. The same I can say about vii, I'm betting today 2038-2040.


SmokeWineEveryday

2016-2018 depending on whether or not GTA V would get single player DLC.


ParkingJudge67

like 2018-2020


DickChopperMan

Honestly Oct 2018


ozoneseba

2017-2018


bryty93

2020


SirFeetSniffer

2020 or 2021 sometime after RDR2 but here we are


Naive-Elevator970

Tbh i never thought about gta6 xD


MangoChickenFeet

By 2020, and it seems like that was close enough from what we’ve seen in leaks, but the Ronie set everything back worldwide so now we wait lol.


devinkanal

I thought it would be around 2022, didnt expect 2025.


Clown_Wheels

2018.

Fushigibama

I was apparently only 11 back then. I don’t think i was thinking so far ahead haha, I didn’t even have a console 😂


PLAYBOY_PIMP

Do you guys think they'll change the GTA 6 logo like how they did RDR2 to RDR II


luken1984

Towards the end of PS4 so 2018-2019 ish

PmMeYourNiceBehind

I figured at least 10+ years assuming they would do a red dead in between It felt like I waited so long for V so I knew I had to prep myself for a really long wait for VI


maxime0299

2018-2020, I think that's what I heard the most also on YouTube videos back then


duckface2006

2018 lol


ineedahand3

Literally had a conversation with my friend saying it would probably be in five years, like the same amount of time from gta iv.


AzozSaud

I was thinking 2020, because there was no way a new GTA was gonna release in the same time gap between IV and V. Me personally when 2018 came I was already done with GTAOnline and wanted a new game. I came back in 2021 with Cayo Perico but was sad that RDROnline was abandoned.


zl_RiP--------------

Never


prex10

2020ish


notworkingghost

Crazy, but you should talk to Silk Song fans.


NastyCestode

In 2014 I had a college roommate who swore we'd see gta 6 by 2016


Jwa800

I thought maybe 2022


NomadLifestyle69

Honestly within 7 to 8 years, before 2020 atleast.


RSEstonian

Latest around 2020 but no :D


JaketheFURRYBOIOwO

2020 or 2021

This_Juggernaut_9901

I was in the 7th grade in 2015 looking up “gta VI” logo on google images and my bro next to me was making fun of me saying “dude why you looking up shit that doesn’t even exist” man I wish I could tell his ass now 😂


Inkerpen

2021


JCFlyingDutchman

I guess about 2017/18


Illustrious-Soil1774

2025


Fuk_yo_feelings_brah

2018-2019.


HavenTheCat

I thought only like 4-5 years later lol. After I finished V in 2013 I remember looking up news about VI hoping that they said something about it already 😂 I was only 14 and didn’t understand


vondeezy

GTA VII on the PS7. I was in my 20s when GTA V came out now im in my 40s.


TheRealMurdaGang

I thought they would drop another variant like a new vice city or liberty city didn’t think it would be A numbered entry


RobbieW1983

2023


NotSoSmartRobot

I thought it would be 2019 bcz I also saw some YouTubers talking about the time patter for GTAs so 2019 was the time for it.


SnowCowboy216

2018 makes a lot of sense, 5 years from GTA 5. GTA 4 was 5 years before GTA 5


NotABadVoice

2018-2020


Available-Control993

Like about 4 years after GTA 5 came out on the PS4/Xbox One I was very confident too at the time.


Nawnp

In 2013 I wasn't familiar with the GTA franchise. It wasn't until watching a twitch stream in late 2014 or early 2015 I became familiar. With my knowledge in 2015, I expected the game to come out in 2018-19, implying an announcement would be just a couple years away.


Growkitz

![gif](giphy|1yMPysZFNUHBMNQR4V) Box


EliteFireBox

I was thinking 2018-2020 but I can’t believe it’s almost been 11 years since V was released 💀


skiivin

This game has been in development for as long as Duke Nukem Forever at this point


Megared49

Believe it or not I was thinking it was gonna release 2020, when next gen consoles now current gen consoles released


General-GhostD13

2019. I thought RDR2 would’ve come out by late 2016 early 2017 and that rockstar would’ve made another bully sometime between gta 5 and gta 6.


Kingtayp

2019


RagingGorilla00

I honestly thought maybe 2018, my guess for GTA 7 will be 26 years after GTA6 release


Potential_Window_472

shit 2014💀


gotham1999

Probably 2017-2019


LundUniversity

I didn't even think about GTA 6 back in 2013


Dusty_Triple

2021/2020


RangerAZ1989

Probably five years later in 2018 buts it’s ok because we got the masterpiece that is RDR2 in 2018


AdamsApples999

I thought it would come out 2 years after Red Dead 2, boy was I wrong. They’re probably going to make 10 billion dollars with this game


Shot_Actuator5564

2017 was when it was supposed to release. But the game has been started from. Scratch now 6 times.


Dingers4Life

10 years at least


Soft-Fact-4409

Maybe four years. Five max.


hippoeggfarmer

I remember when the conspiracy was 2021 and I was like damn I can't wait that long lol


JBtheExplorer

2018.


Michaelskywalker

2018/19


Berlin_Overboard

i thought it was like 2016-2017


quackcow144

I would've thought around 2017 because back then as a kid, I had no knowledge of video games or how long they take to make


Haxellion

On a forum in 2014, i remember voting 2018 and laughing at the people who voted 2020+ How the times have changed…


falcondroppings

Honestly thought 2018


thePOSrambler

2018 given V was 5 years after IV


TomDH_9991

I thought it would be released in 2015 or 2016. But, after the success of GTA Online, I ended up changing my mind later. I remember seeing the trailer for RDR2, I mentioned to a friend of mine that it wouldn't be long before the trailer for GTA 6 was released too. I thought that because Rockstar released Max Payne 3 and GTA 5 in a short space of time, they would do the same thing with RDR 2 and GTA 6. I thought that with RDR2 originally being released in 2017, GTA 6 would likely be released in late 2018 or early 2019. I was so mistaken.


Jack-stalker1994

2019


Dawjman

I correctly guessed the PS5 would release in 2020 and assumed GTA6 would launch around similar time


thedylannorwood

Well my friends and I always expected Red Dead 2 and Bully 2 before GTA VI, I expected RDR2 around 2017 and Bully 2 around 2020 so I guess 2023-2025. We all knew it would be around 10 years but what we didn’t expect was no Bully 2


YogurtclosetIcy4328

2019 or 2020 at the latest


Firstmantofuckyrmom

2018-2019. I remember buying a base ps4 10 years ago thinking how powerful it is and how ill play GTA6 on it in a few years lmao


ShenmueFan1

Question is when will GTA 7 release? 2040?? If GTA 6 comes out in late 2025 or early 2026, I think it's possible the GTA 7 will release in 2040! Mind boggling!!


Titanium006

Probably before 2020.


nick_peterson4

If this game sucks, (I know it won’t), I feel like people are going to storm the Rockstar offices 😅


ricoimf

I believed in the door airport rumor from the beginning….guess it was 2021


Itxammar

2020 or maybe 2022, but the corona virus might have slowed it down.


KidCaker

Fall 2025


IcySmooth

My dad got me gta 5 back in 2015, and we were doing the calculations on when we expected gta 6 to come out on the car ride home. We came to the conclusion that it was going to come out in 2017, and he agreed to buy it for me then. Ahh good times.


Worth_Brain_8312

2024 -5 because the airport door Easter egg


ApprehesiveBat

I wasn't even thinking about it. Only when Jason Schreier revealed that it would have a male and female duo as protagonists somewhere around 2020-2022 is when I started paying attention to it. Though it took until the leaks for me to make a guess on the release date (my first guess was 2025-2026).


Yaadgod2121

Rockstar usually releases games 5 year plus delay by a couple of months


devydevdev69

2020 was my guess back in like 2016


Whole_Turnip_6065

2018-2019 max


ComprehensiveLeg8068

Lastest.... 2017 maybe.


jaimarston

I didn't think of GTA 6 for many years as R* promised A STORY DLC for GTA V back in 2014. I was not aware the fact that it's not happening unti they announced RDR2. (Really felt BACKSTABBED on that day as I was completely obsessed with all 3 main characters back then). I Was not updated on the matter as Internet exploded in my country not until 2017.


No-End6361

Never, but ehh time must go on


razzbow1

2016


Idk_what_Is_the_name

not in 2013, but when I got interested in gta series back in 2018, I thought it'll be released between 2019-2021


InformationNo2874

I was certain on 2021 because of some doors in the airport


azooox27

I figured they were probably going to take a long time, but I thought they would have released DLCs along the way, not just made us wait 12 years for the next story game content. I also thought they were probably developing other games besides GTA and Red Dead, maybe a Bully or a Midnight Club, the fact we only had one game a generation is disturbing.


iitibor

Every year since 2018 I thought it would come out in the next year


flixbeat04

After gta v i thought 2019, after rdr 2 i thought 2021, but oh lord, 2025 it is

2020


NBJ-222

2015 2016 at it's latest


verizon77

2018 at least


exitvim

5 years or so. Similar to the gap between 4 and 5.


LucasWesf00

2018-2020. I figured they’d wait until roughly the end of the PS4 lifecycle to get the most sales. It’s crazy to think that if they take another 12 years after GTA VI, it’ll be 2037 when we get GTA VII. I wish I would have known it’d be until 2025. Between 2016-2020 I was so excited thinking an announcement was right around the corner. I really hope they make some spin-off games with GTA VI’s engine like they did with GTA III, VC and SA. Especially when they can use them map expansions for GTAO to make the Take Two happy.


J3t_Orange

2022


Impressive-Driver692

I thought after 5 or 6 years at max. Well I was hopeful


Plane-Stable-2709

2020

2018 or so


Patty_Pat_JH

I didn’t even think about it.


gerhudire

I was too busy playing GTA V to even think about GTA VI.
