The countdown has begun for the much-awaited arrival of GTA 6, sparking widespread excitement among gamers worldwide. Following a lengthy period of leaks and speculation, Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch next year. The game will be released across all major platforms at once, including PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The parent firm revealed that work on GTA 6 began back in 2020. While the reported $2 billion figure isn’t accurate, the company noted that even a $1 billion investment would make it the costliest video game ever produced.
Speculation about GTA 6’s massive budget started circulating around the time of the 2022 Rockstar data breach. Details remain scarce, but in 2022, X user @vxunderground shared what appeared to be forum screenshots from the alleged hacker involved in the breach. In the conversation, the individual claimed to have discovered that Rockstar had invested $2 billion into the development of GTA 6.
