We might have just gotten a hint about GTA VI's release date - CNET

The parent company behind Grand Theft Auto intends to spend a huge amount on marketing in 2023.

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar, usually spends around $10million to $40 million a year on marketing.

By 2023 it will have been 10 years since the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 launch of Grand Theft Auto V, a game which was subsequently released on, and continues to be a top seller for, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. .

You can chalk up the extended wait to the increasingly staggering complexity of large-scale games -- and the fact that Take-Two is estimated to still make around $600 million a year through Grand Theft Auto V Online.
