Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently finally getting revealed very soon, but it seems like the game is still more than a year away from release, according to a new report shared online today.

Following the Bloomberg report, which said that the next entry in the series by Rockstar Games might be revealed as early as this week, Rockstar Universe shared a new report detailing everything they and RockstarINTEL know about the game. Last month, Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser allegedly flew to New York last month to get an update on the game and to take part in a meeting with an advertisement agency where a large request for a large number of mural spaces, building ads, poster spaces was submitted. The advertisements were requested to be completed by the end of December.

Next month seems to be the month when the marketing push for Grand Theft Auto 6 will truly begin. According to internal sources, major updates for Grand Theft Auto Online are slowing down to allow the next entry in the series to be in the spotlight. As such, the online game is not getting a major Winter DLC like it did in the past years and will only be getting Event Weeks and Seasonal content in the future.

Another internal source also revealed how Grand Theft Auto 6 may not be released next year, as the game is currently planned for a 2025 release, which sounds disappointing but not entirely unexpected, given past indications that the game would be out by March 2025. The next entry in the series was apparently meant to be a 2024 game but was internally delayed for unknown reasons.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is launching on a yet-to-be-confirmed release date. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
