With the unprecedented longevity of GTAV, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.

Despite GTA 6’s development being gaming’s worst kept secret, today’s announcement is the first time Rockstar has acknowledged in public the next iteration of the famed franchise. Rockstar did not announce any details surrounding the game. However, rumours about it have been swirling for years.
Tom Henderson, a reputable Call of Duty and Battlefield insider said that GTA VI is set in a modern-day Vice City (Miami). Henderson also said the game might not release until 2025. If these leaks have any validity, it will be over ten years between Grand Theft Auto games, GTA V released in 2013. Rockstar’s last release was Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018.
