This higher budget was initially thought to be due to the launch of GTA 6 between April 2023 and March 2024. The announcement also took place in September, so we're most likely to hear more details about GTA 6 later in the year.Ī report from early 2020 pointed to Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive spending $89 million on marketing over its 12-month financial period ending on Ma(via VentureBeat (opens in new tab)). So while not in the month of October, it's still around that same window. Rockstar most recently released the next-gen version of GTA V on March 15, 2022, although, it was originally slated to launch on November 11, 2021. So basically, if we'd have to make a wager, October 22 is the most likely date of the year to get a release or announcement. More importantly, the release date of the remaster was announced on October 22.
It's also worth noting that Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on November 11, 2021.
GTA: Vice City Stories, Bully, Manhunt 2, and Red Dead Dead 2 all released during this month too. Outside of this, release dates are a bit sporadic but undoubtedly, October is the most frequent month that Rockstar likes to release its next big thing.
