The recent PlayStation Showcase event featured the upcoming next-gen version ofGrand Theft Auto 5, with the trailer confirming that the new version looks very similar to the old version and it won’t even be out until March 2022 at the earliest. This led to widespread backlash from the community, with theGTA 5PS5 trailer hit with over 100,000 “dislikes"and counting, as many fans are growing impatient forGrand Theft Auto 6news.
With no officialGrand Theft Auto 6news to go on, some fans have started picking apart theGrand Theft Auto 5PS5 trailerin search of clues for the next game in Rockstar’s long-running open world franchise. Fans have honed in on a license plate that’s spotted in the new trailer, with some interpreting the license plate as a possible clue about the time period in whichGrand Theft Auto 6will be set when it does eventually come out.

The license plate in question reads 61SAL890, with fans thinking this could translate to “6 is a late 90s,” meaning thatGrand Theft Auto 6could be set in the late 1990s. This seems like it could be a big reach, but Rockstar Games has been known to hide clues about its future projects, so who knows if there’s any substance to it. Fans likely won’t find out for themselves anytime in the near future, unfortunately.
The latest reports suggest that theGrand Theft Auto 6release date is still years away, and so an official reveal for the game is likely years away as well. Considering this, details aboutGrand Theft Auto 6’s setting and what time period it could be set in are likely a long ways off. Fans should treat any information or theories onGrand Theft Auto 6with a massive grain of salt until the game gets its proper unveiling, whenever that may be.
There have been many rumors and supposed leaks aboutGrand Theft Auto 6, though some of these have come from legitimate sources. The easier to believe leaks suggest thatGrand Theft Auto 6is set in Vice City, and that it will feature both a male and female protagonist. The game will reportedly include a new version ofGrand Theft Auto Online, one with an evolving map not unlike what’s seen in theFortnitebattle royale.
Even thoseGrand Theft Auto 6leaksshould be treated with skepticism though.GTA 6likely has years left in its development and a lot can change between now and when the project is finally unveiled to the public.
