2019 might have been anotherstellar year forGrand Theft Auto 5, but Rockstar Games fans are hopeful that this year might finally bring news about what’s next. Nothing is confirmed, but Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive has teased that it may have more to say aboutGTA 6in the coming months, potentially at either the PS5 or Xbox Series X reveals.
This past week, Take-Two hosted its annual investors call to discuss the past fiscal year and what’s next. BothGrand Theft Auto 5andRed Dead Redemption 2enjoyed massive successover the last 12 months, with the latter cementing its place as the second best selling Rockstar release in history. Of course,RDR 2will likely never catchGrand Theft Auto 5, which still charts in the top half of game sales on a monthly basis.

Given how successfulGTA 5, and more specifically GTA Online, has been, one would expect Take-Two to ride that train for as long as possible. But at some point, Rockstar has to start thinking aboutGTA 6, and severalrumors suggest that work has already begunon the next entry in the open world crime series.
As far as when fans might hear the wordsGrand Theft Auto 6, Take-Two teased that potential during the investor call. When discussing the future of the company, CEO Strauss Zelnick said that fans can expect multiple releases from thecompany’s most significant franchises. Which franchises those might be is anyone’s guess, but one has to figure that Rockstar factors into that equation in some part.
In addition to that small tease, the call also said that gamers will learn about the company’s pipeline in the coming months. There are a lot of different opportunities for Take-Two to discuss new games, but one likely possibility is thePS5 reveal. Sony has yet to say anything at all about its plans for the big debut of its next console, but the expectation is that the presentation will include some third party announcements. And as far as Take-Two games are concerned, there isn’t a bigger “get” thanGrand Theft Auto 6.
Of course, this is pure speculation based on some careful words from a Take-Two executive. When it comes to Rockstar Games there is a lot that the studio likes to do in its own way.Red Dead Redemption 2was announced seemingly out of the blueby way of a trailer and later a hands-on preview, and many prior Rockstar games have featured similar reveals. E3 and console presentations are not usually Rockstar’s preferred venue when it comes to announcing games, but Take-Two might seize the opportunity. Still, it would be a major reveal if Sony’s PS5 reveal event did feature the first look atGrand Theft Auto 6.
