Twitch CEO Dan Clancy says he expects Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI to bring a large influx of viewers to the streaming platform. In comments reported by outlets, he also anticipates that GTA 6’s multiplayer mode will arrive the following year, placing it in 2027.
Clancy’s remarks frame GTA 6 as a likely major catalyst for gaming audiences around launch. Kotaku reports him discussing how other studios and publishers may be trying to avoid releasing major products around GTA 6’s debut, suggesting publishers are planning around the expected impact of the game.
PC Gamer similarly reports Clancy’s confidence about the timing of GTA 6 multiplayer, stating he believes it will launch in 2027. While the outlets focus on different parts of his comments—one emphasizing industry timing considerations and the other the multiplayer date—they both attribute the prediction to Clancy and align on the overall expectation of increased Twitch traffic tied to GTA 6.
