While most players await news about Grand Theft Auto 6, there are some looking even farther ahead in the future toward an eventual Grand Theft Auto 7.

Although most fans are focused on the upcoming relaunch of Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X or looking forward to Grand Theft Auto 6’s heavily rumored release date of 2025, there are likely some players who are looking even farther ahead into the future. If GTA 6 is releasing four years from now, what does that mean about the practically inevitable date of Grand Theft Auto 7? Thanks to past patterns there are some guesses which can be made, but the length of time in question likely makes this prediction more ambiguous than most.

During the 3D era of Grand Theft Auto (the generation which included GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, and their assorted spin-offs) it seemed like developer Rockstar Games was intent on churning out new titles every few years, but as the scope of each new game grew so did the development time between them. Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar’s previous project and a follow-up to their much-lauded Red Dead Redemption, was in production for eight years. By all accounts, it will have been over a decade since Grand Theft Auto 5’s initial release date in 2013 when GTA 6 finally launches on what will likely still be the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles in 2025. The development and eventual release of Grand Theft Auto 7 will likely be no different, and no shorter.

If Grand Theft Auto 7 requires as much development time as GTA 6 appears to need, then players can expect to be playing it in 2037 at the earliest. Given that Grand Theft Auto 7 and 2037 both end in the same digit, this would be somewhat of a good match, especially if Rockstar decides to release the game on the 7th, 17th, or 27th of whatever month it chooses. While the theme of “three number sevens” might seem arbitrary, it could actually make a lot of sense when looking at Rockstar’s past Grand Theft Auto settings and combining that information with the most prevalent rumors about GTA 6’s location and map.

What GTA 7 Could Look Like After Grand Theft Auto 6

Nearly all of the most agreed-upon Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks and rumors point to the game having a present-day Vice City setting. This would make sense, as right now Rockstar has returned to both Liberty City and San Andreas/Los Santos from GTA’s 3D era but have yet to take players to a next-gen, high-definition version of Vice City. If Vice City truly is the setting of GTA 6, then it likely won’t be in the running for a possible Grand Theft Auto 7 location, nor would an immediate return to Liberty City or Los Santos. There are still a few locations from past games Rockstar could pull out, however, and “777” fits one of those to perfection – Las Venturas.

Las Venturas, first appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas alongside San Fierro and Los Santos, is Rockstar’s fictional version of Las Vegas, and it would be the perfect location to base an entire Grand Theft Auto 7 game around. It’s hard to say what sort of new gameplay innovations, graphical upgrades, or control schemes the game could possibly have – fifteen years ago Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories came out on the PSP, and it would still be two more years before Grand Theft Auto 4 launched – but Las Venturas (and the real-life stories about how Mafia influence helped shape Las Vegas over time) presents an ideal setting for GTA’s blend of irony and satire, and if Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to take players back to Vice City once again then it too deserves a turn once more in the spotlight. Grand Theft Auto 7 would be the perfect place for this, but players just might have to wait until 2037 first.
