Other developers and publishers want to know so they can give it a wide berth, meanwhile, fans want the game to come out as soon as possible so they can leave reality behind to start living in Vice City. The release date window is still currently scheduled for Fall 2025, but fans want Rockstar to announce a specific launch day. We dont know when Rockstar will make the announcement, however, a new theory suggests the release date for GTA 6 could be revealed in January because of Rockstars history.GTA 6 release date reveal in January theory explainedThere is a new theory circling online that suggests the release date for GTA 6 could be revealed before the end of January. This theory is built off the back of Rockstar previously announcing launch days for their games in the first month of the new year.As shown by GTAVI_Countdown on X, the launch day for GTA 4 was announced on January 24th, 2008, and the launch day for Max Payne 3 was announced on January 17th, 2012. The release date for Grand Theft Auto 5 was also revealed on January 31st, 2013.The only exception to the rule in the evidence lined up is Red Dead Redemption 2s release date getting announced on February 1st, 2018. In addition to getting their launch day revealed in January and the beginning of February, all the games included as evidence came out as announced by Rockstar.Its certainly a compelling theory with a history of evidence to get fans excited. Theres also the fact that Take-Two Interactives next quarterly earnings call is scheduled for February 6th. We are hopeful news about GTA 6 will be revealed before the imminent earnings report, but nothing is officially planned as of writing.There have been theories in the past such as trailer 2 coming out on December 27th that didnt come to fruition, so fans should keep expectations in check and not take theories as gospel. Rockstar will reveal the launch day for the game when theyre ready, and hopefully it will come out in Fall 2025 rather than getting delayed to 2026.In more Grand Theft Auto 6 news, Take-Two has explained why it is not launching day one on PC.Grand Theft Auto 6Platform(s):PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Action, Action AdventureSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
