Rockstar officially confirmed that it was working on GTA 6 in February 2022, but the exact start of development remains unclear.
The long production period has been attributed to the increasing cost of making large open-world games and the pressure to achieve the success of GTA 5.
The development process also ran into difficulties when leaked footage and footage surfaced online following a cyberattack targeting Rockstar.
Why does GTA 6 create so much excitement?
The GTA series has become one of the most successful entertainment brands due to its open-world gameplay, storytelling and freedom.
GTA 5 changed the gaming industry with its huge world and successful online mode. GTA Online has continued to attract the attention of players for years and has become an important source of income for Rockstar.
The two game trailers released so far have been viewed hundreds of millions of times, indicating global interest in the upcoming release.
