Argos apparently dropped the ball and accidentally leaked the pre-order date will be the 12th of Dec. As it’s exactly a week after the first trailer it seems credible. I’ll pre-order too, no there’s probably little tangible reason to, but I’m as excited as I was to get GTA 3 however long ago that was!
Q3/4 seems like the obvious release date, but I’m sure I’m right in saying that pretty much ever big R* release has been delayed.
I'm looking forward to this, though I think on every GTA ever I've spent 99% of my time just driving round, and on the occasion where someone cuts me up I blow them up with a rocket launcher, and then continue. 
Online I never played much of the actual game modes, rather just went round running people over because I know it winds people up.
Swooping down in a fighter jet and mowing someone down never gets old

I don’t know what the answer is but gta 5 came out 10 years ago, assuming 6 comes next year that’s over a decade since the last one, just way too long.
What if 6 is a flop, they have to get them out sooner
If it takes 10 years to create and release a good game then so be it, would you prefer it be released after 8 years and be plagued with bugs/be underdeveloped (Cyberpunk 2077 for example)?What if 6 is a flop, they have to get them out sooner

And this is exactly why most games are released too early and unfinished. If it takes 10 years then it takes 10 years.What if 6 is a flop, they have to get them out sooner
They’re obviously making enough off GTA Online to sustain the longer development timescales.

The company could bring out a new GTA every year with not much difference (e.g. like Apple with new iphone releases) and force consumers to shell out £60 a year for the latest version.What if 6 is a flop, they have to get them out sooner
It is extremely admirable that they have not done so.

I don't really enjoy the online part of GTA 5 and never really got into it. The story side though was brilliant and that's why I buy the games.
Hoping it either comes out this year for Christmas as I have 2 weeks off and could play it then, otherwise an autumn 2024 release could be quite good as it would align with a schedule op which means a week off which is perfect timing to have a new GTA to play!
Currently have an Xbox X but wouldn't rule out buying a PS5 if needed.

Oh give over, I’m all for not rushing games out in bad states but 11 years!, what’s next, GTA7 takes 2 decades?They’re obviously making enough off GTA Online to sustain the longer development timescales.
The reason they’ve sat on this so long is because 5’s online is the cash cow it is, they released GTA5 three times, they've milked the game to death, if online wasn’t generating the income it has then 6 would already have been out
Again, I don’t games been rushed to market in bad states, but there has to be a middle ground here

A GTA 6 that doesn't make people go wow would permanently damage the franchise. They could have released an incremental GTA 6, paid off reviewers and critics to give it 10/10 ratings and enjoyed a huge short term spike in sales and kept the current user base. But the new younger generation would not then gave the same love for it.
They will be extensively testing GTA 6 with consumer groups before releasing.

No chance. kers, it's coming out tomorrow!" but I don't see it happening. They would have had to give Sony and Microsoft a years notice to ramp up production for a start (and show Sony and Microsoft a near-complete game in advance to convince them it is really that good) or the supply won't be there, and no news of any such factory production increase.
And there will a billion dollar global advertising campaign to accompany the launch which will take time - it's why even the biggest boxing matches are announced 6+ months ahead, as all the promotional stuff is needed to maximize the actual event and bring in the non-hardcore customer.
