Recently, there was a leak that started doing the rounds on social media with claims that it was a voice note by CEO Strauss Zelnick himself, where he confirmed that an announcement was imminent. The alleged voice note by Zelnick mentioned an announcement for the nextGTAtitle to be revealed next month, October, and the game to come out by somewhere around Oct 2024. The leak was quickly taken down with a copyright claim and many believed it to be AI-generated.
A new bit of unconfirmed news about the upcomingGTAtitle, mentions the traditional in-game radio to have a channel that plays Joe Rogan’s podcasts. Although it’s a rumor for now, fans have already started voicing out their opinions on what else should be added to the in-game radio, if the rumors are true.
