The upcoming instalment in Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 is revisiting the Miami-inspired setting of Vice City.
This entails the creation of a fresh, high-fidelity rendition of the city. Drawing parallels from Grand Theft Auto 5’s treatment of San Andreas, it can be anticipated that the game will abound with nods and references to the vibrant metropolis that serves as its inspiration.
Now that we know the location and have details on the trailer, the exact release date for GTA 6 has yet to be confirmed with the exception of 2024-25 timeline. By then GTA fans will have had to wait almost 12 years since GTA 5.
As of December 2023, the odds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) in 2024 are as follows:
- For the first half of 2024, the odds are +400

These odds imply probabilities of 20% and 34.5% respectively. However, it’s important to note that these odds are subject to change and should not be taken as definitive information about the release date of GTA 6.
