There are a few reasons why GTA 6 has taken so long to develop.

[{"selector":"#anim-0dff1fe4-6298-42f2-98b2-8594a8dd29d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ceda088c-8b62-4c92-b817-ce01a66be882","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

First, the game is expected to be massive in scale.

[{"selector":"#anim-45bf590b-066d-43ee-bbbc-0ced48f482ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba155bc0-f9d9-41e3-8e87-9860f2d70cff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -99.57731%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Rockstar is reportedly developing two versions of the game, one for current-generation consoles and one for next-generation consoles.

[{"selector":"#anim-9a2932e5-fd2d-470e-b56c-91118e8e21a7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-902247ab-82c7-41cf-8ffb-09cb73c921f0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100.84497%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Second, Rockstar is under a lot of pressure to make GTA 6 a success.

[{"selector":"#anim-91c7a0f8-1b1d-4eca-923a-01393e781d62","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1129d35d-fc26-4dca-9320-cc3d478e5be2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The previous game in the series, Grand Theft Auto V, was a massive commercial success, selling over 165 million copies worldwide. Rockstar will be hoping that GTA 6 can match or even surpass those sales figures.

[{"selector":"#anim-4af28ca7-13e3-4ac1-abff-8ad3e531346c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba18746e-0d37-4c9b-857a-0b44a19bd291","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 85.75814%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As of July 2023, there is no confirmed release date for GTA 6

[{"selector":"#anim-0c3f94c3-13ed-4464-bd04-c42487820feb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f3e0d75-b5db-4a86-ab0f-14a32bc21609","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, some rumors suggest that the game could be released in 2024 or 2025. We will just have to wait and see what Rockstar announces in the future.
