These are all the rumors we've heard about Grand Theft Auto 6 thus far. It doesn't take a dedicated trickster to make up rumors involving a setting we've already seen in the series, like Vice City or Liberty City, but a few others have been mentioned, as well. These vary wildly, with some touching on who you will play as-possibly including a playable woman for the first time in the series' single-player mode-to where the game will take place. Little, if anything, is concrete regarding Grand Theft Auto 6's details thus far, but there have been a whole bunch of rumors. Game development can take a very long time nowadays, compared to the early and mid-2000s when four Grand Theft Auto games released in just seven years. We also have some reported details coming in that could make the game very interesting Rockstar Games finally confirmed its development in 2022, more than eight years after the release of GTA 5, and given the studio's tendency to only release games when they're good and ready, it's difficult to tell when we'll actually be able to play it. In fact, we don't even know if that will be the game's official name, but we do at least know it's in active development. Take-Two, Rockstar Games’ parent company, says that it expects Grand Theft Auto 6 to be released sometime in 2023 or 2024, but the game has no official release date yet.Grand Theft Auto 6-or GTA 6-doesn't have a release date yet.

It also sounds remarkably similar to the strategy the company has employed to great success with Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component of GTA 5.Īs well as Rockstar’s new, less grueling development process slowing down work on the game, an attempt at changing the studio’s culture in general will have an impact within the game itself - starting with that female protagonist.īloomberg’s report mentions that Rockstar was known for having a workplace culture “full of drinking, brawling, and excursions to strip clubs.” This version of the company made GTA games that attempted to find satire in every part of American life, frequently by making jokes about the most vulnerable people in American society and leaning into cheap stereotypes, undercutting many of the games’ more salient criticisms and best jokes.īut apparently the studio hopes to be a new Rockstar Games now.

GTA 6 GAME UPDATE
While the initial game world will just focus on its fictional Miami, Bloomberg’s report says that Rockstar plans to continually update the game, adding new missions and cities. While it’s been in development since 2014, developers who talked to Bloomberg say that Grand Theft Auto 6 is likely still at least two years away and that the progress is extremely slow, though it’s worth noting that the pandemic has likely contributed to these delays as well as Rockstar’s new, heathier policies.īut development work on Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t stop when the game is released, either. However, the changes have come with the predictable side effect of slowing down the game’s development. Throughout the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar has apparently been careful to avoid overtime in general, unlike on previous games. This change of location was specifically made to help keep the game’s ambition and scope a little more realistic, hopefully avoiding the kinds of development crunch that Rockstar titles used to be known for.



While original plans for a game world that covered many locations throughout North and South America were scrapped, the world remains extremely large and includes more indoor locations than any previous GTA game, according to Bloomberg.

Grand Theft Auto 6 will be set in a fictionalized version of Miami and the surrounding areas. According to Bloomberg, she will be a Latina who will star alongside someone else in a story influenced by Bonnie and Clyde. Tellingly, one of the game’s main protagonists will reportedly be a woman, a first for the series. The report is about the changing culture at the company and how it may impact the development of the studio’s upcoming project, which happens to be the next Grand Theft Auto game. New details on Grand Theft Auto 6 have seemingly been revealed by Bloomberg in a new report on developer Rockstar Games.
