Grand Theft Auto 6 has leaked – except it most definitely hasn’t. Fan fiction on Reddit claims that the sequel will span Vice City, South America, and Cuba – it’ll also purportedly run decades, with each location changing as the years whisk by. Just like in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, you’ll apparently be building your own drug empire.
It’d all be incredible if it were true, but this is just about as fake as a Hollywood smile. The original post claims to be getting “insider” information from people who used to write for sites like Kotaku, but that’s a big red flag because it’s not like games writers are sitting on piles of secret information. Other fantasists have since come out of the woodwork, piling on more speculation.
Indeed, apparently we can expect hurricanes, because that sounds like something cool Rockstar could add, right? Look, we don’t want to sound too miserable in this article, but we wouldn’t be doing our due diligence if we didn’t inform you that this is all a load of tosh. They're nice ideas, but that’s all they are: nice ideas.

However, it is more then likely that GTA6 is in the works, but we won't see it released for probably another 5 years.
Rockstars output has been pretty pathetic this generation with just Red Dead Redemption 2 to show for it. Then again it's far too easy for them to take in the money from shark cards to bother making new games
@carlos82 tbh red dead is a huge game.
@jdv95 is it really that much bigger than previous games they've made? Ubisoft are constantly pumping out games at least as big as that, whilst CD Projekt Red have put out The Witcher 3 which is bigger, plus huge dlc and soon to be Cyberpunk too. On PS3 they did GTAIV plus substantial dlc, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire and GTAV, yet this gen just that one game plus some higher res versions of previous titles. For me that's a hugely disappointing return overall
@carlos82 Well that's even with the crunch work times you could say they only got out RDR2 which means it could've been a 2020 or next-gen game. I'll cut them some slack taking realism and quality over quantity. Plus I believe GTAV was so far ahead in the late days of last gen it was inevitable it had to be released this gen, so, it's a current gen game. With all that crazy amount of free stuff and GTAO I could forgive them on the shark cards. I'd say they've had 2 powerful games stuck in the top 10 week in week out. And seeing as there's no Western like RDR2 and openworld with cars as insane as GTAV, I think they've been untouchable.
@carlos82 I would take the horses and overall realism in RDR2 over Assassin's Creed and Witcher 3 any day. Oh yea and the revolutionary hair growth and grooming 😁
Mission failed
@TheArt whilst I would take The Witcher 3 all day long over the "realism" in Red Dead Redemption, let's face it that game ditches its realism whenever it suits and much of it gets in the way of enjoying the game. The horses are great to control though I'll give you that but ultimately I'm not arguing over the quality of some animations, just that I personally feel disappointed in their overall output this generation. Where's the imagination or risk in making a new IP such as LA Noire or Bully as they have in the past, I'm not saying they all need to be of the level of their main franchise's just I'd like to see more from them
"It'll also purportedly run decades"
Pah, that's nothing, it takes Arthur Morgan thirty years just to hitch his horse.
I think all the effort meant for a new IP was directed at GTAO and making sure the game hits 100 million copies sold. Which has been successful cause most women I see on PSN all over world new to gaming usually have GTAV and nothing else, and recently adding RDR2 cause they know those 2 games are related. Yes I would have loved to see a new IP but I'm content with the depth of these 2 games. I mean a single bear in RDR2 is far more terrifying than the countless bears in Odyssey, you know what I'm saying.
gta the king god gaming.no other games sells more than gta.word up son
I reckon Rockstar will be leading with a female protag for the next GTA.
