![]() ![]() ![]() The report also mentioned a possible decrease in scope to help alleviate crunch, with larger title and map updates to be released at a future date. While this report was primarily focused on Rockstar’s workplace culture, it mentioned that the next GTA game was “early in development," something confirmed to IGN by an anonymous source close to Rockstar Games. But we first heard reliably that GTA 6 was in development from a 2020 Kotaku report, published only a few short months after the departure of Dan Houser from the studio. That simmering turned into a slow boil when co-founder of Rockstar Games and brother to Sam, Dan Houser, spoke about the difficulty of satirizing the then-present day, stranger-than-fiction landscape: “ really unclear what we would even do with, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did.”ĭan Houser’s (probably very honest) deflections aside, with the abundance of rumors and insider reports, it’s safe to assume some version of GTA 6 was always in at least pre-production at Rockstar since the release of Grand Theft Auto V. Between hypothetical comments from the newly-departed former president of Rockstar North, Leslie Benzies, in interviews with Digital Trends in 2012, and a TechRadar report in 2016 claiming that GTA 6 was in development, there’s been a quiet simmering of GTA 6 rumors in the background ever since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V. While we didn’t get any concrete details about GTA 6 until a report from Kotaku in 2020, there have been murmurings about GTA 6 for over a decade - before GTA 5 was even released.
