Yeah, I personally think they're gonna pull the same trick they did with GTA 5. Release the game on PS4 and XB1 just a few months before the PS5 and new Xbox are out, and then release the game on PS5/Next Xbox about a year later just in time for the holiday season to get people to buy the game a 2nd time. 

August/September/Early October 2020: GTA 6 releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
October/Early-mid November 2020: PlayStation 5 and the Next Xbox are released
October/November 2021: GTA 6 released on PlayStation 5 and the Next Xbox
Early 2022: PC release

Not sure how well that trick will work this time if everyone has backwards compatibility.

That's true. Maybe they could make the PS5/Next Xbox versions native 4k and 60FPS compared to 1080p 30FPS for the PS4 and XB1 versions, that'd get a lot of people to double dip even if the PS4 and XB1 versions are BC on PS5 and the Next Xbox. They'd also probably drop support for PS4 and XB1 after 2 years or so while continuing support on PS5 and Next Xbox for a lot longer, which would be another reason to double dip even if the PS4 and XB1 versions are BC.
