'Grand Theft Auto 6' Release Date, Update: Game To Be Launched In 2020; Female Protagonist, New Maps, VR Support

"Grand Theft Auto 6" has a huge fan base who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new game. So, when Rockstar Games announced that they are working to release "Red Dead Redemption 2" in 2017, many of them were heart-broken. This meant that the development of "Grand Theft Auto 6" would be further delayed. Earlier, it was expected that Rockstar games will release the new game in 2018. But, based on what we see now, it seems that the 2018 release is definitely not possible, reported Trusted Reviews.

Rockstar has now turned its attention to "Red Dead Redemption 2." The production for "Grand Theft Auto 6" is kept in the back burner for a while. It is speculated that "Grand Theft Auto 6" will now be released in 2020. This seems to be a more feasible timeline that Rockstar can work on the game. Rockstar Games had previously mentioned that the game is in incremental stages of development, reported News EveryDay.

Rockstar has not yet confirmed the locations or setting of "Grand Theft Auto 6" yet. It is clear that with regard to the game's development, "Grand Theft Auto 6" has undergone only the preliminary production stage. Even then, there are innumerable rumors that are being circulated about "Grand Theft Auto 6."

There is a rumor that is doing the rounds which said that "Grand Theft Auto 6" will have a female protagonist this time. There would also be a new map for players to explore. One key feature rumored to be included in "Grand Theft Auto 6" is the VR support. We do not have any confirmation on the same and the virtual reality integration may still be reconsidered, depending on the hype for the technology in the next few years. The new technologies in the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft could also be included. This includes 4K and HDR support in "Grand Theft Auto 6."

It does seem that the game can be released only in 2020. But the fans of the game are hoping for an early release of "Grand Theft Auto 6." Rockstar might provide more updates on "Grand Theft Auto 6" in 2017.
