Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto news and guides, Rockstar Games' open-world crime franchise.

Written by Total Apex Entertainment Staff · Editorial Policy · Updated

Total Apex Take

GTA 6 is the most anticipated game in a decade, and the wait is testing Rockstar's famously patient release philosophy.

GTA Online has spent over a decade proving a single open-world game can keep generating meaningful revenue years after launch, which is exactly why Rockstar has never felt rushed on a sequel — there was no financial pressure to replace a game still making money. That changed once GTA 6 was officially confirmed and a release window set, and every delay since has become its own news cycle given how little Rockstar has actually shown.

Our take is that the hype is earned by Rockstar's track record, not by anything concrete we've seen about GTA 6 itself — the marketing has been almost entirely vibes and a couple of trailers, which is a deliberate contrast to how much other studios overshow their games pre-launch.

The thing worth watching is less the single-player campaign, which Rockstar will almost certainly deliver well, and more whether GTA Online's successor can replicate a decade of ongoing revenue in a gaming landscape that's gotten much more crowded with live-service competitors since 2013.

About Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto is Rockstar Games' long-running open-world action franchise, known for its satirical take on American crime culture, sprawling open cities, and freedom to explore far beyond each game's main storyline. Since its 1997 debut, the series has become one of the best-selling and most culturally influential video game franchises ever made.

Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, became one of the best-selling entertainment products of all time across any medium, powered in large part by its ongoing online multiplayer mode, GTA Online, which Rockstar has continued updating for over a decade.
