Twitch CEO Says GTA 6 Online Will Launch in 2027

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy visited Tokyo Game Show 2026 and discussed GTA 6 and its online component with journalists.

We spent a lot of time talking with Rockstar about their plans, and also helping them think about how they can engage our creators. You are going to see this big bump with GTA VI, but then an even bigger one next year when they launch multiplayer.

Given the companies’ close partnership, it is possible he possesses inside knowledge. However, Rockstar Games has not made any announcements regarding the multiplayer project. Strauss Zelnick also has not announced it while answered questions from Take-Two investors.

The Twitch chief stated that the release of Grand Theft Auto VI will be the largest event of his seven-year tenure. He expects it to significantly increase viewership and total views on the streaming platform, though he does not know the exact scale of the growth. He stated that the audience’s attention will focus on the game and advised other publishers and developers not to release competing titles at the same time.
