It is likely that the American game developer has separate teams working on each of the many video games on its stable so different teams are working on “Red Dead Redemption 2,” “GTA 5” DLCs, “GTA Online” DLCs and updates, and also “GTA 6.”
Over the past two years, the rumors about “GTA 6” have been quite consistent as far as its speculated release date is concerned.
Since it took American game developer Rockstar Games all of five years to develop “GTA 5” from “GTA 4,” it was assumed that the company would also need five years to develop “GTA 6.”
“GTA 5” came out to the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and the PC in October 2013 so the general assumption was that “GTA 6” would likely come out in 2018.
However, that specific release date rumor is now being challenged by reports saying that Rockstar Games has decided to defer the unveiling of “GTA 6” to 2020 or even beyond to give it time to fine-tune and perfect the game.
That seems also possible since “GTA 4” was actually released seven years after the “GTA 3” came out on the early gaming consoles in 2001.
There are also reports saying that Rockstar wanted the game to come out already capable of supporting VR or virtual reality technology which is why it needed all the time to make sure that the VR support comes out great.
