Amid the departure of Leslie Benzies, there is also an interesting rumor going around the internet these days that the release of “GTA 6” may be timed by Rockstar immediately after the release of the next-generation gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
According to reports, it has been the tradition of both gaming companies to release an updated version of their gaming consoles every seven years. Both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One were released in 2013 so it is likely that their next-generation gaming consoles would come out sometime in 2020.
With that being said, it is possible that Rockstar may focus instead on developing that “GTA 6” to cater more for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Two and released it after 2020.
One of the most interesting rumored features of the next-generation gaming consoles from both Sony and Microsoft is that those two platforms would already be available to offer 4K gaming by then. And gamers would certainly enjoy it right at the comforts of their living rooms. It is also expected that 4K resolution would be the standards by then not only in gaming but also in video recording and streaming on TV and most modern gadgets.
However all these remain as speculations until Rockstar makes the official confirmation, which seems unlikely to be done by the game development company, so everything should be taken in with a pinch of salt.
