AUSTIN, TEXAS: The CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, was identified in the caption of a leaked audio message recently uploaded on GTA6posts on X. The post said, "An announcement is expected very soon this October 23rd" and "The next GTA is expected to launch on October 24."

The audio file that was part of the X post has now been taken down owing to a copyright dispute. It appears that the game might be announced as soon as next month and published one year from then. Like any other leak or rumor, the information should be taken with a grain of salt, though.

Will the 'JRE' podcast feature in 'GTA 6'?

The next game may involve Joe Rogan, according to a report from AudioViser that was discovered on the well-known forum r/GamingLeaksAndRumours.

It appears that episodes of Rogan's podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', would be broadcast on the in-game radio, according to their source, who is "close to Rockstar Games".

'The Joe Rogan Experience' is one of the most well-known podcasts in the entire world. It frequently talks about conspiracies, and would be perfectly at home in 'GTA 6's setting.

Was the audio clip fake?

Considering Zelnick pronounces the Roman number "VI" as "vee-eye" rather than "six," many have claimed that the audio clip was generated by artificial intelligence. Beyond that, it doesn't really make sense why Zelnick would discuss this material the way he does in the recording.

The audio clip has led some people to believe that the 'Grand Theft Auto 6' announcement will take place on October 23 and the game will launch on October 24 of this year.

Meanwhile, it appears that the audio in question has copyright issues and has been removed from the web, but it's conceivable that this is all a scam to give supporters the impression that the leak is real.
