The hype for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to grow, but the latest rumor about its release date has left fans divided. According to Kotaku, the highly anticipated game could launch on October 28, 2024, with a potential early-access period starting on October 25 for those who pre-order. While this speculation has sparked excitement, many fans remain skeptical, as Rockstar Games has yet to confirm any details.
Why October 28?
Kotaku’s report suggests that October 28 makes the most sense for GTA 6’s release, aligning with Rockstar’s history of launching major titles in the fall. The publication also hinted at a possible early-access window, giving pre-order players a head start.
However, this isn’t the first time fans have speculated about the release date. Earlier rumors pointed to an August launch, fueled by theories about Borderlands 4’s release timeline. But with no official word from Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive, these rumors remain just that—rumors.
Fan Reactions: Optimism vs. Skepticism
The gaming community has mixed feelings about the October 28 speculation. On Reddit, one fan commented, “No one knows when the game will be released apart from Rockstar. Everyone else is just predicting just like us.” Others believe the game is more likely to drop in November or December, closer to the holiday season.
Still, some fans are hopeful. One user said, “I can see that happening,” while another called the rumor “massive if true.” Despite the excitement, most agree that until Rockstar makes an official announcement, all release date theories should be taken with a grain of salt.
Could There Be a Delay?
While the October 28 date seems plausible, fans are also keeping the possibility of a delay in mind. Rockstar is known for taking its time to perfect its games, and with GTA 6 being one of the most anticipated titles of all time, the studio might push the release to ensure it meets expectations.
