You have to admire the average gamer’s ability to look to the future. GTA 6 isn’t even out yet, but GTA 7 is already catching strays from frustrated fans.
Assuming GTA 6 hasn’t been delayed again between my writing this and you reading it, there will have been a 13-year gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6. For context, there was a five-year wait between GTA 4 and GTA 5. Needless to say, the wait has had a funny old effect on fans. That effect being that they have lost their minds.
When Is GTA 7 Coming Out?
Obviously not any time soon
I think we can all assume the wait between GTA 6 and GTA 7 won’t continue the trend and end up being double the wait for GTA 6. That would be 26 years, which means GTA 7 wouldn’t come out until 2052, at which point I’ll be so old I don’t actually want to think about it. But that obviously won’t happen, because that would be ridiculous. Save this paragraph and come back to it. It could be really funny in 26 years.
While 2052 is an outlandish notion, even the most optimistic predictions for GTA 7 put it at decades away. One viral post on the GTA Online subreddit, clearly intended as a joke, suggested GTA 7 won’t launch until January 2045. But hey, that joke works for a reason: Rockstar Games earned this reputation.
“Nah fam that’s the real GTA 6 release date,” one user joked. “It’s gonna get delayed again.”
Another added: “That’s the date for the GTA 6 PC version.”
Is Rockstar Games Working On GTA 7?
I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you this
Whenever GTA 7 launches, it’s obviously going to be years and years away. Back in 2024, Take-Two Interactive CEO, Strauss Zelnick kind of “officially” confirmed GTA 7 during a talk at the TD Cowen 52nd Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference. But we’re in for a wait.
Obviously, that’s fine! We still have GTA 6 to come later this year, and you’d best believe Rockstar Games is going to milk that and its inevitable Online mode to within an inch of its life. Heck, GTA 6 Online is probably going to make so much money that we’d be lucky to see GTA 7 in 2052.
