We know that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development, even though it hasn't been formally announced. There have been rumors, but the most concrete information we have is that Rockstar Games has requested development funding from the British government . This funding is only available to entirely new games, and given the budget they've requested, Grand Theft Auto 6 is the only one that qualifies.
In any case, Grand Theft Auto 6 is in no rush to hit the market because Rockstar Games already makes a lot of money from Grand Theft Auto Online. According to recent rumors, which also include details of the game, its launch date is not expected to be until at least 2024 or 2025.

The rumors started on the part of Tom Henderson several days ago, but they seemed more like the typical rumor easy to create that if dismissed it would not affect much. But if you add that Jason Schreier has verified them, who already exposed Rockstar Games' crunch problems shortly before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, the rumors gain force and veracity.
According to rumors, the place where Grand Theft Auto 6 takes place will be Vice City, which would be the first time we see it in high definition. It will not be especially big, but it will change the places of the online and solo mode as it happens in fortnite or Genshin impact. It is expected that there will be several protagonists, and for the first time in the series, a woman would be a protagonist.
It's expected to hit the market in 2024 or 2025, and TOm thinks it's a mix of several reasons. The first is that they want to stop relying on crunch and can afford to keep workers on normal working hours. It follows that as it is in development for PC, Xbox series and PlayStation 5, they hope that these last two have a good park of consoles installed before launching it, a figure for which we will have to wait for the shortage of components to end so that millions of players have their consoles. The last reason Grand Theft Auto 6 is getting begging is simple: GTAV makes a lot of money for its online mode and they have no incentive to hurry any more than necessary.
