Under the assumption that Jeffries’ analyst is right, however, this will not be the case.
In this context, it would have been legitimate for the publisher to have followed the same strategy with GTA 6 by first launching it on PS4 and Xbox One before repeating the process on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. The 2019 Pastebin leak seems to have mixed information about GTA 6's release date, claiming first 'mid-to-late 2020' (which we know is false.
GTA 6 release GTA 6 will be launched first on PS4 and Xbox One and then on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett Rumor: GTA 6 will be released in late 2021 or 2022. And at the same time earned its designers millions of dollars. The launch of this new product highlights how unlikely 2021 was for a GTA 6 release date and how it will make 2022 a hard sell too. And there seems very little doubt that this will be another sales hit for Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two. The critically acclaimed title shook all previous records of the brand and last November surpassed the 100 million copies sold worldwide. Developers Rockstar Game have announced the final launch date to be November 11, 2021. Meanwhile, Rockstar GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption Online have simply been able to continue providing content, which is no surprise to the players.
Now, this is 2021, so we were expecting GTA 6 to at least launch by 2022. GTA 5 was released in the year 2013 for consoles and 2015 for PC and next-Gen consoles.
In a report, the analyst, therefore, points to a window of opportunity beyond the group’s 2022 financial year, or even a few years later. Well, the GTA 6 release date for 2021 is very much difficult to say right now as Rockstar usually launches all their titles within a gap of four to five or maybe six years, to say the least.
