Several sources look to have revealed our first information about Grand Theft Auto 6. As expected, it’s sounding as though the game won’t release for another few years, with a 2024 or 2025 release date likely.
According to insider Tom Henderson, the game will be set in a modern day Vice City (based on Miami) with the map to start out quote small at launch, and evolving and expanding over time, similar to games such as Fortnite.
It’s said that this is largely due to Rockstar not wanting to crunch, and also the success of GTA Online which has managed to keep players engaged by having an ever-changing map and events.
Jason Schreier corroborated the reports and also added that 2023 was a realistic timeline for the game to release before the pandemic hit.
Idk why everyone thinks that I said GTA VI was coming in 2023. Everything Tom Henderson has said about the game matches up with what I've heard

We’d not be expecting go hear about GTA 6 any time soon. With Grand Theft Auto Online still bringing insane amounts of money, and Rockstar traditionally not revealing games until they’re closer to release, it’s likely to be a decent wait.
