No one should be surprised that GTA 6 will come sooner or later. However, many fans are currently wondering when the next Grand Theft Auto will be announced and where the game's release date will be.
Now maybe there is one most promising forecast for the release date of GTA 6: As Dexerto reports, financial experts have shared their views on Intrepid Capital Funds, analyzing how publisher Take-Two will have to make their money in the coming months.
Release of GTA 6 earlier than expected?
When could GTA 6 be released? Accordingly, GTA 6 should be published at the end of 2020, at the beginning of 2021 at the latest. However, this forecast predicts Grand Theft Auto 6 won't be a console-exclusive game for the next generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but also appear on PS4 and Xbox One – so become a cross-gen title. There is no question of a PC version in this context.
What are the advantages of this forecast? The financial analysts at Intrepid Capital Funds are not insiders from the video game industry or from the publisher Take-Two, but they are experts on whose work numerous equity investors depend.
Take-Two's shares are currently "okay" for the publisher's circumstances, but apparently "a strong title" is again needed to make up for deficits caused by the corona virus and the departure of rock star co-founder Dan Houser.
How likely is the forecast?
The fact that Grand Theft Auto 6 will appear in 2021 and 2022 has not been underestimated in recent months. However, the fact that GTA 6 could come earlier than originally expected is not necessarily unrealistic.
So recently there have been increasing indications that Rockstar has been working on GTA 6 for a long time – Which will hardly surprise anyone: After the release of GTA 5 in 2013 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, Rockstar could soon send the next blockbuster on its way.
These specific references to GTA 6 already existed
An actor who may be involved in GTA 6 leaked potential information about his role a second time. Another actor, in turn, fueled speculation that supported rumors of a drug cartel setting in the 80s.

GTA 6 is called GTA VI (CE)?
However, it became much more specific in the course of a report by investors from the publisher Take-Two: In March 2020, it was already mentioned that Rockstar wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the next-gen consoles Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. And when in doubt, that should happen with the help of Grand Theft Auto 6.
This statement is complemented by the statement by Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who promised in February 2019 that it "Big plans" for one of their "most popular brands" would give. Well if it’s not Grand Theft Auto…
No official confirmation
Of course, the analysis of the financial experts from Intrepid Capital Fund is not a confirmation of the release date of GTA 6 – regardless of how much speaks for and against it. In this regard, fans should definitely wait for the official announcement by Rockstar Games.
