GTA 6 on October 24th: GTA Franchise Fans Brainstorm a Healthy Speculation on This Anniversary Gift From Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games has still not announced GTA 6. Fans have been patiently waiting for years as Rockstar celebrates the 10-year anniversary of GTA 5. While the anniversary event has kept some fans busy from wondering where Grand Theft Auto 6 is, others are starting to get impatient.

One Reddit user noticed a few things during the 10-year anniversary update that made them believe that Rockstar is laying hints on the upcoming title. Although this information is a speculation, the gamer backed it up with pieces of evidence that made him believe that the studio was planning a big move.

Rockstar’s alleged plans for GTA 6

With players flooding GTA Online to test out the update and claim rewards from the 10-year anniversary event, one player noticed a few peculiar things. The user believes that Rockstar Games is hinting towards the GTA 6 announcement with a subtle hint in the gift teeshirt from the event.  The gift teeshirt had a print on it that said “Rockstar says Relax”. The original poster believes that this can be a reference to the studio telling players to relax about GTA 6 as it is the most anticipated game out there. “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood was released on October 24th. This date has led to speculation that Rockstar might choose the same date for a GTA 6 announcement, given the song’s potential connection to the game.

They went on to tie the teeshirt with the song that players on the radio in GTA Vice City and GTA VC Stories.  The song Relax is played on the radio on the channel Wave 103 in Vice City which is where GTA 6 is speculated to be based. They also uploaded a picture of a Haitian gang member from Vice City wearing a similar t-shirt. The fact that the t-shirt is from a Vice City NPC, led the uploader to believe that this is a hint towards GTA 6.

Another theory that the user mentioned in the post was one of Rockstar’s history of making announcements on Tuesdays. The user tied the track’s release which was on 24 October 1983 with the possibility of a GTA 6 announcement to be made on the 24th of October 2023 as it is also a Tuesday.  The user further speculates the release of the game to be 2 years after the announcement by looking at Rockstar’s previous trends. According to this theory, if the upcoming title is announced this year, the game will be launched in 2025.

It’s a farewell to GTA 5

The post went on to state that the user believes that a recent tweet from Rockstar has a tone that suggests a farewell to GTA 5. This sentiment supports the idea that Rockstar may be gearing up to announce GTA 6 after a decade of GTA 5. They also said that the PlayStation generations typically span about 7 years, so it’s probable that the PlayStation 6 will arrive in 2027. This timeline suggests that GTA 6 will likely be released towards the end of the current generation of consoles, with the possibility of a re-release on the PS6.

It seems like Rockstar aims to maximize the game’s lifespan across multiple console generations, much like they did with GTA 5, making a 2025 release a strategically favorable choice. This theory ties into the rest, with Rockstar’s tradition of releasing a new title that spends a few years being sold on the current console and then an updated version for the upcoming system.

While everything in the post is purely speculation, the user has stated some highly likely possibilities. It is quite often that fans come across rumors and leaks about GTA 6 but unless it’s from a credible source, they are usually shrugged off.  This speculation might be wrong but it comes with one of the best explanations the community has ever seen. With everything said here, do you believe that Rockstar is finally ready to announce GTA 6? Let us know in the comments below.
