GTA 6 may have taken so long to come out that it become a meme, but fans of the game will probably accept it if this new report turns out to be true.
An insider has revealed that the brand new GTA game could make real life millionaires out of superfans of the series.
GTA 6 is set to release in November of this year, 13 years on from GTA V breaking just about every record under the sun upon its release.
Where many of us may have memories of being told that we were ‘wasting times’ gaming, or that it would never make us money, there are whole online industries now set up for obsessed gamers to make bank off of their passion. The reveal comes from Video Game insider and journalist Hip Hop Gamer (HHG).

HHG spoke to PC Gamer in a new video where he hinted at a celebrity cameo and how the game will create millionaires.
According to the insider, whose real name is Gerard Williams, GTA 6 will be leaps and bounds ahead of GTA V in terms of the online communities and content created as a result.
Williams claims to have been ‘partying’ with GTA creators Rockstar, and added: “You’ve never ever seen a game like this, and this game will produce millionaires.”
He pointed out that ‘we live in a time where UGC (User Generated Content) is a major thing’, adding that people creating content for the game will be where we will get fans of the games getting rich off of it.
UGC is content that is created and shared by players as opposed to Rockstar, so covers mods, extra levels made by fans, or online servers with custom rules coded into the game.
This became incredibly popular in GTA V when ‘roleplay (RP) servers’ were created which allowed players to pretend to actually be a criminal or a cop in the game.
Speaking about this, the insider said: “When it does come, especially on PC, if you thought GTA 5 was crazy—especially with the RP servers and everything that they're doing—you ain't seen nothing yet.”
Some fans online were sceptical about how long this would take however, questioning whether this would even be possible until GTA 6 comes out on PC, which is expected to take at least 12-16 months longer than the console releases.
That said, Rockstar do appear to be courting UGC as a model after acquiring the team behind the FiveM and RedM modding platforms.
HHG also hinted that the game was set to have a mission centred around Freddie Gibbs, though he didn’t name the rapper.
The journalist said there was going to be a ‘special side mission’ featuring a ‘major rapper that left CM Punk bloody by accident’.
WWE wrestler CM Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, starred alongside Gibbs in a recent film Night Patrol where the rapper accidentally wounded the wrestler-turned-actor.
All in all though, whether Gibbs is in the game and whether you will be able to make millions off of creating your own GTA missions or not, the fact it is finally looking set to come out later this year is all fans of the game should be focusing on.
LADbible group have contacted Rockstar for comment.
GTA 6 is currently set to release 19 November, 2026.
