A gaming insider has teased some new information about when Rockstar could finally be unveiling GTA 6, plus some news on the PS5 and Xbox Series version of Grand Theft Auto 5.

For the past few years, gamers everywhere have been waiting for Rockstar to reveal the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. While Rockstar has been silent, plenty of leaks have surfaced, including what could be a new map of Vice City.

However, nothing concrete or official has materialized, but now, an insider is speaking up about when we may finally get a reveal for the long-awaited sandbox title.

According to Foxygames, Sony and Rockstar will have some news about the next game including a “GTA VI partnership/deal” after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online Enhanced Edition.

The reference to a partnership or deal is likely a call back to an earlier rumor that Dexerto reported on back in August. The rumor claimed that Sony reached out to Rockstar to make GTA 6 a timed exclusive on PS5 in a $750M agreement.

While that news remains to be verified, it does make sense for Rockstar and Sony to only push GTA 6 once the new versions of GTA V and Online are out on next-gen hardware.

GTA V is coming to PS5 in 2021.

So far, the enhanced version of GTA V is scheduled to be released in 2021 with Online being free to play and exclusive to PS5 for the first three months.

The insider went on to add a GTAVI hashtag, suggesting that whatever is going on with the SSD, it’s going to be utilized for the next Grand Theft Auto title.

Only time will tell if these comments end up coming to fruition, but it won’t change the fact that fans are waiting to celebrate and break the internet the second Rockstar makes things official.
