If recent developments are any indication, we might not see Grand Theft Auto VI for at least a few more years.Īs reported by VentureBeat, Take-Two laid out its financial plans for the next five years, aka a 10-K SEC filing, which revealed that the company intends on spending $89 million on marketing between April 2023 and March 2024. There are a ton of rumors about when Grand Theft Auto VI is actually going to be released and if it’ll come in time for the next generation consoles. This is definitely a step in the right direction for Rockstar and for game development as a whole. Specifically, more producers have been employed to reduce the need for crunch, contracted workers have been converted to full-time employees, abusive employees have been removed, employees are allowed to be more flexible with their time, and new mental health & leave benefits are in place. It does also state that significant changes have been made behind the scenes at Rockstar, to make the development of this game a lot less rocky than previous iterations.
