GTA 6 could mean a shorter wait for Red Dead Redemption 3

The engine, tools and team built for GTA 6 could speed up Rockstar's future games, and that might include a return to the west.

Red Dead Redemption 3 could be closer than you think, and GTA 6 might be the reason. Rockstar's Phil Hooker said the engine, tools, and team built during GTA 6 are going to allow them to make future games faster.

So all that work could pay off when it's time to head back out west. We don't know, but Red Dead 3 has to happen, right? We were all expecting it to come in 10 to 12 years. Now, we could be seeing it in 5 years.

None of this confirms Red Dead 3 is next. It does give us a reason to hope we don't need to be retired before we play it.

How long do you expect the wait for Red Dead Redemption 3 to be?
