Twitch Boss Says Game Companies Are Right to Avoid Competing With GTA 6 for Attention — Expects GTA Online 2 Next Year
Twitch boss Dan Clancy has said he expects an enormous launch for GTA 6 this November, one video game companies are right to avoid like the plague. But he also expects GTA 6 to continue to hoover up the internet’s attention when GTA Online 2 — or whatever GTA 6’s multiplayer mode is called — launches next year.
Twitch boss Dan Clancy anticipates a massive launch for GTA 6 in November, confident that video game companies are justified in avoiding competing with the game. However, he expects a surge in attention for GTA 6 when its multiplayer mode, GTA Online 2, launches next year. Clancy discussed Rockstar Games' plans with Bloomberg, explaining that the company has been approached regarding their future endeavors and assisting them in engaging their creators.
Although Rockstar Games has not disclosed the exact date or confirmation of a GTA Online 2 release, speculation suggests it will be released within the next year. Rockstar parent company Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the company's history of supporting legacy titles, citing NBA 2K Online and NBA 2K Online 2 as examples. He believes they will continue to maintain both versions, as long as the community remains engaged with them.
GTA 6 is set to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, meaning PC players will need to wait or stick with GTA 5 and its online component. With GTA 6 nearing its release, Rockstar Games has started to reveal more details, including teasers of artists featured on the game's soundtrack. Notably, Rockstar has not confirmed any voice actors for the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia, leaving fans to speculate until the game's release in November.
