"GTA 6" has long been rumored to be released as a follow-up to Grand Theft Auto 5. Since the speculations started, the number of reports and details about the game has been steadily growing. So it is no wonder that more and more gamers are getting interested in GTA's sixth installment.
Considering the rapid increase of fans, even if "GTA 6" is still in development, it is most likely that it will be one of the most popular installment in the Grand Theft Auto game franchise. Then again, Rockstar Games has not issued any statement yet regarding the upcoming release of the new GTA game.
The silence of Rockstar and lack of official updates about "GTA 6" is confusing fans, and making them doubt whether the game is really being developed at this time. But some believed that the lack of updates is an indication that the game developer is working on something very huge that is why everything is being kept a secret to avoid spoilers.
Then again, although everything seems to be smooth sailing, it is unfortunate that there are new reports that Rockstar Games had completely stopped the production of "GTA 6." Fans may find it ludicrous but the reason given for the sudden halt was the budget.
It was estimated that "GTA 6" is likely to take away a huge chunk of Rockstar's money so it is being shelved for a while.Base on calculations, the expenses for the sixth installment of the GTA franchise will run as high as $500 million. The amount swelled because of the planned addition of VR support for the game.
Another possible reason why "GTA 6" may have been canceled or delayed is due to the fact that Rockstar Games is prioritizing other games like the "Red Dead Redemption" and "GTA 5" DLCs. In any case, if things will be ironed out and its production will finally proceed, the game is likely to arrive in 2017, GamenGuide reported.
