GTA 6 Reveal Date Announcement Spurs Reaction Memes

Even established franchises like Call of Duty and Halo joined the GTA 6 hypeInterestingly, some fans playfully threw shade at Call of Duty: Warzone, Halo Infinite, and Fall Guys, as their official social media accounts attempted to ride the GTA 6 wave by releasing trailer teasers with a color palette reminiscent of Rockstar's December 1 announcement. While most reactions expressed relief that the GTA 6 reveal is finally imminent, some fans did voice skepticism about the possibility of the game's release in the near future.

The concerns about the release timeline are tied to recent financial reports from Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, which anticipates a $2.5 billion boost to annual revenue for fiscal year 2025 (April 2024 to March 2025). Industry analysts speculate that only the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 could drive such a significant, 45% increase. Consequently, there is speculation that the game might hit the market during this period.

Given this context and considering the release dates of past 3D installments in the franchise, a holiday 2024 launch appears to be the most probable target for GTA 6, barring any unforeseen delays. Regardless, it's undeniable that December 2023 holds immense significance for Grand Theft Auto enthusiasts.
