GTA 5 Online for Xbox One and PS4: Latin Post Poll Results Point Toward GTA Next-Gen Release in Jan. or Spring
Grand Theft Auto 5 fans seem to have mixed predictions about a potential Xbox One and PlayStation 4 release.
Rockstar Games has not provided a timetable for when we should expect the game to be released on the next-gen consoles, but fans do not seem to be optimistic. A recent Latin Post poll asked GTA fans whether they believed there would be a next-gen GTA release by the spring and the results indicated most people have given up on waiting.
When Will GTA 5 Be Released on Xbox One, PS4?
January ....... 20.61 percent (376 votes)
February ....... 11.96 percent (218 votes)
March ....... 14.91 percent (272 votes)
April or later ....... 21.27 percent (388 votes)
Never ....... 31.25 percent (570 votes)
Considering that it is almost certain that GTA 5 will be released on the next-gen consoles at some point in time, we can probably disregard the "never" option. It is more of a question of when as opposed to if. Thus, the 388 people who predicted an April or later release was the second highest and it is clear that gamers are not expecting the game anytime soon.
On the other hand, it should also be noted that nearly 400 people also predicted a January 2014 release. This would be just around the corner in the next month.
One thing for sure is that both Microsoft and Sony would gladly welcome a next-gen release considering the huge success with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 release. If I had to guess at this point I would assume that the chances for a next-gen release in 2014 seem rather high.
What do you think about these poll results? Do you think the votes are a reflection of the true chances for a next-gen GTA release? Let us know below in the comments section!
