My guess is it launches in 2025. My guess is that the single player stuff will be more integrated with the online play, in hopes of sucking even more people into playing the game long term online.

Surprise of the centrury .. Probably a small campaign and big emphasis on online as their cash cow. Or story broken up as dlc's over time that's integrated online. But I doubt gta will ever be the same game. I'm interested in the open world game the houser brother/s are working on. Anyone got any updates?

can they stretch this as not only a PS5 title but PS6 and PS7?

You bet. That's almost certainly the plan. At least two gens.
Assuming PS6 (and perhaps PS7) is x86 still, it'll be far easier than the transition from PS3 to PS4 to PS5.
TT/Rockstar will make mega bank if the game is good.

I wouldn't be surprised if GTA VI releases at the end of this generation.

Great. We might have it in about 3 or 4 years. Which is great timing as the stock issues will be over and there will be a lot more consoles out.
