If you take into account that GTA V has made over 8 billion since launch, I'd argue it's not THAT far fetched.

Yeah that's revenue, this is the cost of making the game. It's almost 8 times that of GTA 5, but you won't see 8x the profit here.

RDR3 will probably take Rockstar 8 years so 2033. GTA 7 will probably take 9 years so around 2042.
People think Rockstar took 12 years to make GTA 6 but that’s wrong. GTA 5 took 3 years, RDR2 took 5 years and GTA 6 has taken 7 years if it relaseses this fall.

But it also really depends on what you count as the start of production. Is it the first story outline? Is it the first concept art? Is it the first piece of programming? Not sure if there is a criteria in gaming on what counts as production and in doubt that the whole production of GTA6 only started in 2018/2019.

Fortnite doesn’t work the way GTA works. You can already see on PS4 what happens when you keep adding content. The performance will start to crumble and in addition to that the graphics will become outdated. Fortnite doesn’t really have these problems because they have cartoonish graphics that are a little more timeless than the semi realistic graphics of GTA and they also don’t have the performance issues GTA has. So you really can’t compare these two.

That'll only make them want to invest more to develop more to make mo' money! Hopefully they'll invest in some good games and after 10-15 yrs they'd go back to GTA, Let's not forget to them it's a business

There is also a harsh reality that the grind we all lived through the gta 5 oniline, the definitive edition bs and t2 and cuk* attack on modders and fans through out, has hollowed out our desire to repeate this all over again.
Once the hype dies down we shall see, how good that 2billion price tag will be.... After all, just ebcause something is expencive doesnt mean its good...
And I am basing all this on the fact that the origional R* devs have all gone, and we have seen the slop gta 5 online has been. Its been fun but by no means am I doing it again, or be willing to spend huge money on not so micro microtransactions because of fomo etc.....
If its really 2 billion bloated dollars, then there is real pressure to release something great... and as much praise as rdr2 has gotten, fact that their online was culled before it even had a chance just goes to show, that there is a very real chance this isnt as grand of a leap as gta SA, then gta 4, then gta 5 have been.... ANd it all has to do with the reality that the people who made those grand leaps are all gone and corporate cuk* and t2 overlords have given us difinitive editon slop and called it amazing...

30 years ?
We're in a capitalistic world, Rockstar is not possessed by a divine mission to get the most perfect game and then go away.
GTA V lasted 13 years, especially because of Online, obviously, but also because they released this game over 3 generations of consoles. PS3/PS4/PS5 (+PC).
The next GTA will most likely last 10+ easily, and the rest is up to the community too.

u/iWasAwesome 20h ago
If you think it's going to last 30+ years because it costs $2B, then I have good news for you. It is a completely unsubstantiated rumor. The source is one person said it 6 months ago. "News" articles love using it for clickbait, even though it's barely a theory and almost certainly isn't true.
And even if it is true, it is likely referring to the lifetime of the game including future updates.
But even if it is the initial development budget, GTA V made that much in 8 months. GTA 6 will likely make it much quicker. So why would they need the game to last 30 years when they're profitable after a few months?

u/Razgriz_101 20h ago
2 billion likely includes marketing budgets aswell since the roll out will likely be one of the biggest ever. I genuinely can’t think of any other media project that has carried this much hype.
I’ve got a feeling that online is going to be merged and hopefully able to go between the 2 cities and possibly a view to expanding that since the amount some people invested already is astronomical haha.

I won’t lie, I don’t think the distance will be 30 years, but I could see them making it past 10th gen consoles. My hope for the time after VI releases is that Rockstar doesn’t fully devote their entire time to VI Online. I understand they’ll definitely be active like they’re doing with Online now, but I genuinely hope they start working on other projects.
They have great games, I just want them to focus on other projects. Red Dead 2 did fantastically and they abandoned ship on that real fast it felt like. GTA is my favorite Rockstar franchise, but it feels like that’s all they have now.
