Rockstar Games, a division of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., plans to announce the next highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto game as early as this week, according to people familiar with its plans.
The company plans to then publish a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI next month to celebrate Rockstar’s 25th anniversary, said the people, who asked to not be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. A spokesperson for Rockstar didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent after business hours.

“Plans to announce” is breaking news now? 🤦
It’s the equivalent to announce a date when they announce the date of the teaser trailer of a game. I mean wtf is wrong with these people.
Everybody knows it’s coming, they had countless articles, “leaked” pre-alpha gameplay footage, so not sure who is surprised at this point.
You’d be surprised. If someone just happens to miss the initial wave of press, then they might notice the second wave when it does announce it.
It’s not about making sure to inform everyone, more like building the hype and the legend around the title to make more people talk about it and to justify whatever crazy premium edition price tags they’re gonna have.
It’s Bloomberg, I feel like half the video game related news that I see from them is just “crazy leak: this game/hardware is gonna be like this! Source: trust me, bro”
I haven’t really seen any video game news from them before this one but I 💯 believe you based on their track record in general. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually seen them having a good take or angle on ANYTHING!
Before I left Reddit I felt like I saw a “LEAKED SWITCH 2 HARDWARE DETAILS” from them like every couple months for the last two or more years
Time to eat my hat
A leak saying they’re planning to release a trailer next month is definitely news.
This just in: they’re planing on maybe considering the possibility of perhaps making a statement about anything at an earlier date. Potentially.

You were saying?
Turns out that the discussions ended up with an agreement in the affirmative.
Man I thought they were just gonna shadow drop their biggest game in a decade. Guess I got scooped
Speaking of, did you notice how Bethesda secretly released Fallout 5 yesterday? Pretty bold move, if you ask me!
This isn’t about the game but
Rockstar didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent after business hours
What did they expect? Either send it in business hours or wait?
Should‘ve ringed up someone from Rockstar in the dead of the night and then quote them, „We asked Rockstar to comment and a spokesperson responded ‚Wha… Who are… Do you know what fucking time it is?‘“
reads like a line from The Onion
Gave me a bit of a chuckle that.
Let’s assume all of this is true, we really have to prepare ourselves for this game to not live up to its hype. The fans have recreated the hype that cyberpunk got which could result in just as much of a let down
I’m gonna say it probably will live up to the hype. My fear is the monitisation of GTA 6 Online. It’s gonna be wild.
Fuck online. Use FiveM (likely to be called SixM when it releases) and find cool people
What’s FiveM? I refused to play GTA online.
It probably won’t, mostly because they’re going to be too focused on squeezing every fucking dime possible out of GTA6-online instead of time on the part of GTA that made rockstar a successful studio 20+ years ago, the single player story.
I don’t give a rat’s tits about GTAonline and will not play that garbage so I hope they spent time on the actual game, I’ll wait for reviews and streamers to get their hands on it before thinking about buying it
Single player will be decent if a bit underwhelming, online will be a fucking train wreck. I’m not hyped. I honestly don’t care. I’ll get it when it’s on sale at a large discount a few years down the line and I’ll likely not bother with online.
I’m definitely expecting that at this stage. Not sure it could ever live up to the hype its garnered.
As long as the single-player campaign is alright and there’s a lot to the open world (which Rockstar always did well) the game will be good. If you care about gta online however, well, you should know what to expect.
It couldn’t possibly worst than GTA5, most of the content is online only and the story is okay.
Donkey just did a video on the absurdity of the GTAVI hype: https://youtu.be/qq8d5jvjarA?si=r1_ryw0lUGkkk7ek maybe he gave rockstar the push they needed…
donkey made insomniac add big wheel to spider-man. with big power comes big responsibility
Well go on then.
Truly BREAKING NEWS lol. A sequel everyone knows is coming will be announced with a teaser we are announcing now. Must read the story now and stay informed!!!
