A new leak about GTA 6's release date disclosed that the game could get delayed by another year. Chris Marxx (Twitter/@MarxxChris), a well-known informer, reported that Rockstar Games may push the upcoming game's release date to 2025. Previously, the gaming community expected the game to be officially revealed and announced later this year, and many well-known insiders have also speculated on the possibility. However, the new discovery comes from a credible source and has upset fans.

Rockstar Games may postpone the announcement of GTA 6 for another year

On May 20, 2023, Chris Marxx tweeted about the GTA 6 release date. According to them, the popular gaming studio plans to have at least a year between the official announcement and the release of the game.

They also stated that getting an announcement for the game this year is uncertain, which would cause the actual release date to be delayed as well. Chris Marxx predicted 2025 as the new possible release year for the next Untitled Grand Theft Auto game.

While the original post was shared prior to the release of the GTA Online San Andreas Mercenaries DLC update, the insider retweeted it on June 22, 2023 (after the DLC release) and stated the following:

“I believe this is what Rockstar plans.”

It is a common practice for Rockstar Games to have at least a one-year gap between their project announcements and actual releases. All previous major releases, including Grand Theft Auto 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and others, had similar wait times between announcement and release.

The community was expecting an official reveal of the game during the holiday season this year, with a release date in the fall of 2024. However, Chris Marxx's discovery indicates that the game will likely be announced in 2024 and released in 2025.

It is also worth noting that game data miners found nothing related to the upcoming game in the summer DLC files. Rockstar Games has a practice of including upcoming events in DLC files, and the latest one did not hint at any GTA 6-related events happening this year.
