Notes about the release date of GTA 6 are mostly nothing more than speculation from dubious leaks. There might be more behind the analysis of the financial experts from Intrepid Capital Funds. However, this analysis has a catch.
What does Intrepid Capital Funds mean? The analysts from the financial company believe that GTA 6 will not be a launch title for the upcoming console generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, they are of the opinion that fans still do not have to wait too long for the highly anticipated game.
According to the opinion of the financial analysts, the release date of GTA 6 is expected to be shortly after the launch of the new console generation in 2021.
It is stated in the report: “We expect Grand Theft Auto 6 to be released shortly after the market launch of the new console generation, which will likely happen in late 2020 or early 2021.”
That would indeed be a release date for GTA 6 that is earlier than some might believe.
Now the catch: This assessment by the financial analysts comes from the summer of 2019. So quite a bit could have changed since then.
More than just mere speculation?
Why is this interesting? The report with this statement dates back to June 30, 2019, but is now circulating on the internet, which, of course, gives many hope.
However, one should be cautious. Because what was reported may not hold true today.
Nevertheless: Even if the statement is already older, it should not be completely ignored. Because this is not a speculation from anonymous 4Chan users, but an analysis by financial experts.
Although it remains a guess, the financial experts put some thought into their statements. They analyze the market, look at when the best release period for a long-awaited new title is, and calculate when the predecessor was released.
However, the gaming market changes quickly, and what may have sounded logical in the summer of 2019 might already be completely outdated today.
Does this assumption seem realistic, even if it is already somewhat old? Rockstar Games and Take 2 have not yet officially commented on GTA 6. Therefore, everything is just an assumption. However, if we assume that GTA 6 will come, the ideal time would be around the release or shortly after the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series. And that is not only from Rockstar Games’ perspective but also from Sony’s and Microsoft’s perspective.
GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated games. If it were to be released for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, it would be a major incentive for players to buy one of the new consoles. From the perspective of financial experts and investors, it would make sense to time the release of a new, highly anticipated game with the launch of the new console generation.
However, rumors about a release date for GTA 6 regularly emerge. There are always alleged “leaks”, but none have been confirmed so far. Therefore, the statement from Intrepid Capital Funds should be taken with caution as long as Rockstar Games and Take 2 do not officially comment on the status of GTA 6 – also because it is somewhat older and thus could be outdated.
