GTA 6's rumored 2024 release date may have just gotten a whole lot likelier, as Microsoft has cited a report that claimed the sequel would launch that year while responding to the UK's CMA, which is currently reviewing the Activision Blizzard takeover.
A 2024 release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 could be likely after a recent statement from Microsoft. The last entry in the highly successful GTA franchise, Grand Theft Auto 5, was originally released almost a decade ago - although it has been re-released several times since.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Although not confirmed by Rockstar, there had been rumors of a 2024 release date for GTA 6 previously. As reported by GamesRadar+, in a recent response to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority regarding its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft backed mentioned Rockstar's upcoming open-world crime title and backed up the rumors surrounding its release date, with the 2024 date having first been shared by Bloomberg.
Players later got to see a glimpse of these new characters and settings when a leak revealed 90 GTA 6 videos, with the footage appearing to be taken from early in the game's development cycle. It had been speculated that GTA 6 could release in 2023, but given how reliable Bloomberg's reporting has proven - as well as the fact Microsoft has also backed that guess to the CMA - it seems like 2024 may be more likely.
Between previous claims that PlayStation-exclusive titles such as Marvel's Wolverine would release in 2023 - something that has not been announced by its developer Insomniac - and this latest claim that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released later, it seems as if Microsoft is predicting a strong financial half-decade for rivals Sony.
