The last major entry, GTA 5, recently marked its 10-year anniversary and continues to shatter records, including being the fastest entertainment property to surpass $1 billion in sales.
With GTA 5’s immense and enduring popularity, fans have been clamoring for details on the highly anticipated next chapter in the series, GTA 6. While Rockstar has kept mum about any official GTA 6 announcements, intriguing clues have emerged from voice actors, leaked gameplay footage, financial reports, and more.
