TheGrand Theft Autofranchise has maintained a constant footprint in the games industry since it transitioned into a fully 3D experience, butGrand Theft Auto 5has propelled the franchiseto new heights. That’s largely thanks toGrand Theft Auto Online, which has been regularly updated for nearly eight years now. However, fans are now itching forGTA 6– though some much more than others.
On a recent episode of the German showSchlag den Star, a fan rushed the stage to demandupdates aboutGrand Theft Auto 6.Specifically, the fan wanted to know whatGrand Theft Auto 6’s release date was, confusing the show’s host, Alexander “Elton” Duszat, and another person on stage. Elton does have some experience in the video game world, portrayingHalo 3’s Chips Dubbo in the German localization, but it’s an interesting situation nonetheless.

A clip of the interaction has been making waves over on Reddit, where it was shared byGrand Theft Auto 6fans. According to translations made by commenters, the fan essentially took to the stage to ask Elton to say “where isGTA 6?” into the camera, though the host refused. There was a bit of back and forth between the people on stage, but the man was eventually escorted off by security.
There have been rumors about whenGrand Theft Auto 6will release, though there’s been no official confirmation about the game thus far. While some have stated that it’s nearing completion, reputable leakers and insiders have painted a different picture. According to many authoritative voices,Grand Theft Auto 6is still years away, being in the early stages of development.
Calls for updates onGrand Theft Auto 6’s progress aren’t rare, though this is certainly an extreme case. Clearly, this fan was trying to make a statement, or at least get some sort of update from Rockstar, though a German reality TV show is a strange place to try and get a message out. The host, while involved in games to a degree, even stated that he hadn’t finishedGTA 5yet.
An update onGrand Theft Auto 6doesn’t seem likely for the foreseeable future, at least not until the next big video game event rolls through. There’s always the possibility for updates during something like a surprise State of Play – or even Rockstars own special event – but it’s generally best to keep expectations tempered.
Grand Theft Auto 6is rumored to be in development.
