According to rumour, GTA 6 will release at the absolute earliest 2021. However, it might even be possible that the game could release as late as 2023, a whole decade after GTA V graced the Xbox 360 and PS3.
One would hope fans won't have to wait that long for the full release, and that Rockstar will be ready to deliver something slightly earlier into the console cycle, but we won't know for a while. The studio are busy maintaining work on the online modes for GTA V and Red Dead 2 respectively, and any official announcements are unlikely to come until next year at the earliest.
There was a two year wait between Red Dead Redemption 2's announcement and its launch in 2018, so expect a similar waiting period after Rockstar finally lift the lid on the next title.

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
