GTA 6

Rockstar Games is working to do better with "Grand Theft Auto 6," according to new leaks.

This seems in line with recent changes Rockstar has made to its back catalogue, including the removal of jokes at the expense of transgender women in the next-gen reissue of "Grand Theft Auto 5." "Grand Theft Auto 6" is looking to be a game full of firsts for the series. Not only is it much better for the developers in the long run, but it theoretically means the final product will be stronger and worth the wait. Between the pandemic and Rockstar's new no-crunch stance, the development of "GTA 6" has stretched much longer than anyone expected. Fans have been waiting (less and less patiently) for "Grand Theft Auto 6" for what seems like forever. That all may have changed, as a new report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has relayed a number of major elements of the game.

Grand Theft Auto 6 will reportedly feature a female playable character in its campaign for the first time. Rockstar apparently plans to launch the game with ...

The report also points to a more progressive mindset at the company in narrative terms, too. Some developers are even said to have quit due to a lack of progress on the game recently. [Update: The first Grand Theft Auto game featured female playable characters - this would mark the first in the 3D GTA series as we know it today]

Claims of the GTA 6 female protagonist, as well as other details about the upcoming game, come from a report on Rockstar published by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier ...

If the reports are accurate, this will be the first time that a GTA game has placed a female in the protagonist role. This includes a potential release date period and plans to add new cities to the game after launch. In addition to the new female lead, other information about the hotly-anticipated game have also seemingly been leaked.

There is also some significant news about GTA 6 itself, as the report here says that one of the game's two protagonists will be a Latina woman, one half of ...

The bulk of the story is about major changes that Rockstar has tried to make with its games, company and culture to become less of a “frat house” than it was accused of being previously. While I’m sure things aren’t perfect, these sound like significant, positive changes being made at the company since GTA 5 was released, which is great to see. Also in the report is information about how the scope of the game has been reduced.

Grand Theft Auto 6 will have a female Latina protagonist due to Rockstar's in-house culture changes, it's been reported. The report comes from Bloomberg ...

In the report, there's a great sense that things have changed for the better at Rockstar, and the developers that Bloomberg spoke to were optimistic for the future. This is apparently a result of the culture changes at Rockstar, first initiated in 2018 after numerous developers called out management over crunch culture and bullying. Grand Theft Auto VI will have a female Latina protagonist — the first playable woman in modern Rockstar historyJuly 27, 2022

According to Bloomberg, GTA 6 will feature a pair of playable bank robbers, one of them being Latina, and the story takes cues from Bonnie and Clyde — an actual ...

Check out some of the best reactions below. Remember that GTA 6 is likely many years from release, though, so all of this could change. However, many fans are clapping back by either talking the angry folks down or outright clowning on them.

A report about changing working conditions at Rockstar Games has also revealed several new details about the characters and world of GTA 6.

If one of the biggest and most successful studios in the video game industry has the capacity to turn a toxic and unhealthy working culture around, then others can certainly follow suit. In 2018, a New York Magazine interview with Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser revealed that people on the development team would work several 100-hour weeks during the development of Red Dead Redemption 2. Details of the studio’s changing culture, previously labelled as ‘frat boy’ and involving ‘excursions to strip clubs’ among other things, are also accompanied by reports that Rockstar Games is attempting to alter its style of humour to avoid targeting marginalised people and relying on crude stereotypes.

Rockstar as undergone tremendous changes as a studio in recent years and these changes could impact the overall feel and tone of GTA 6.

Does Rockstar even want it to feel like past games or is this a complete reinvention of the franchise? But a new report from Bloomberg paints an interesting picture of the studio, which has undergone tremendous changes in recent years in an attempt to clean up its bro culture, and ponders how these changes will impact GTA 6. Speaking of jokes, people familiar with the project, claim the developers are “being cautious not to ‘punch down’ by making jokes about marginalized groups.”

Rockstar has already confirmed that the next Grand Theft Auto game, popularly referred to as GTA 6, is in active development; but, the studio hasn't offered ...

However, the article claims that developers are skeptical. GTA 6’s world will be the largest in franchise history, which more interior locations than any previous Grand Theft Auto game, but original plans were for it to be even better. I assume GTA 6 will also have an online component as well, but it’s exciting that the single-player portion could also be updated.

With the unmatched success of its predecessor, Rockstar is bound to reach new heights with the sequel. Making a game at such a scale and level of detail takes a ...

With the level of detail Rockstar aims for in its games, it is no surprise that they take this long to make. GTA 5 set the trend of having multiple protagonists, and GTA 6 is expected to continue that with 3 new playable characters. With the unmatched success of its predecessor, Rockstar is bound to reach new heights with the sequel.

In the wake of a new Bloomberg report that talks about Rockstar scaling back on some potentially offensive content for Grand Theft Auto VI, and revealing a ...

GTA as a series has allowed players to slaughter police by the truckload since the GTA 3 days, so what, is it going to be used as a conservative talking point now that GTA 6 is “anti-cop” if that tradition continues? You could have GTA 6 star Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez herself and there are not enough offended conservative people in the world to boycott this to make it anything less than a monster hit. What is actually “woke” about what was described in the Bloomberg piece?

That much we know about the game. Rockstar Games has confirmed this, stating that development is "well underway" and that they will "share more as soon as [they] ...

A worrying sign for GTA 6 came from multiple leaks about the development of the game. One of the most persistent rumors in regard to the GTA 6 characters, states that you will be able to play as multiple characters again, just like in GTA 5. The pro-active GTA community quickly jumped to the theory, that this could be a teaser for Vice City in GTA 6. And Vice City hasn't been in any GTA since Vice City (2002) and Vice City Stories (2006), so it would be time for another crack at the sunlit setting for GTA 6. A newer leak didn't concern itself with the main protagonists, but rather with other characters that could appear in GTA 6. One of the first prominent theories was, that GTA 6 will see the return of Vice City. Rockstar's fictional version of Miami could make a return in the latest installment of the series. If you get to play as a woman in GTA 6, it looks like she wouldn't be the only protagonist in the game. Multiple reports suggested that the next GTA could be set at some point in the past. Tenz also talked a lot about GTA 6 and the potential release date, of course. More fuel to the fire of a possible 2024 release date for GTA 6 was provided by famed leaker Tom Henderson, who is known for his high-quality reporting and reliable sources. Another press release by the company expected an annual growth of 14%. Both numbers are so big, that, according to business insiders, only a game as important as GTA 6 could be the root cause of them. The first solid indicator for a GTA 6 release date in that time frame came from a financial report by Take-Two, Rockstar's publisher.

Rockstar Games is working on the next GTA game, but when will it be released?

According to Bloomberg, GTA 6 has been in development "in some form" since 2014, which is just a year after GTA V originally launched in 2013. The report said development on the title is progressing slower than some developers expected. According to a report from Bloomberg, management has "loose schedules in place" for when GTA 6 could be released, but nothing is locked down yet.
