We’re creeping nearer to the launch of GTA 6, and one factor has been conspicious by its absence: GTA On-line. To this point, Rockstar has fastidiously described GTA 6 as a “single participant expertise” and utterly prevented the subject of what’s going to occur to GTA On-line. Cue the CEO of Twitch.
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy spoke to Bloomberg (article is paywalled) and the subject of GTA 6 naturally popped up.
“We spent loads of time speaking with Rockstar about their plans, and in addition serving to them take into consideration how they’ll have interaction our creators,” Clancy mentioned. “You’re going to see this large bump with GTA 6, however then a good greater one subsequent yr once they launch multiplayer.”
Whoops. I’m undecided you have been imagined to say that, mate.
After all, Clancy might simply be taking an informed guess. And it will hardly be a shot in the dead of night: GTA On-line earns bucketloads of money for Rockstar, so clearly they’re going to do one thing with it following the launch of GTA 6.
However, it’s fairly probably Clancy actually does know that it’s popping out subsequent yr and mentioned one thing he shouldn’t have.
As for Rockstar, splitting the launches is an effective means of creating positive GTA 6 will get everybody’s full consideration, whereas additionally giving them two huge launches unfold out throughout two years. Make that three large launches, in case you embrace a PC launch. The shareholders will probably be joyful, at the very least.
