2025's already had plenty of GTA things to talk about three days in thanks to some alleged leaks and definitely real projections surrounding GTA 6, which is set to come out later this year. GTA 5's still chipping in though, with a team of modders having recently released a huge project for it that'll let you explore Liberty City as Mike, Franklin, and Trevor.
]]>Yep, you've read the headline, this is serious stuff. Someone claims to have posted some images taken in a Rockstar office of GTA 6 playing on a monitor to Reddit, and it might have shown us what the developer's bins looked like back in 2021. That's assuming it's actually genuine, of course.
]]>You know GTA 6? That small game that's set to come out later this year and definitely hasn't had people on the internet going a bit wild as they try to predict when it might get a second trailer? Well, it's projected to make an obscene amount of cash when it arrives.
]]>Look, it’s not my fault I like video games where you run around like a mischievous little Grinch ruining the Christmas that is people going about their everyday lives, by running them down with cars, slamming a bike over their head so hard they don’t get up, or firing an RPG directly at the pavement in front of them.
]]>We’re in the middle of the last full week of December, so almost everyone has already called it a year and kicked off their holiday break. This also includes Rockstar, the maker of GTA 6. All of that is to say: the chances of us getting a new trailer for the highly-anticipated game are slim to none.
]]>It's been over a year since the first trailer for GTA 6 was released without much news since then, and one former GTA 5 dev has shared why Rockstar has been so quiet.
]]>Ananta - formerly Project Mugen - has just got itself a new gameplay reveal trailer as well as an official name. This trailer takes the viewer through multiple aspects of the game be it swinging around the city, driving in fancy cars, battling random guys or taking on giant robots. You can watch below for yourself, but it very much seems to have taken a note or two from GTA 6's own debut trailer.
]]>Around this time last year, we were all having GTA 6's first trailer dropped on our heads, offering us our first look at the trip to Vice City that - as of Take-Two's last earnings call - is still set to rock our worlds in Fall 2025.
]]>You can chill out for now, as Take-Two's latest earnings call has brought a statement that GTA 6 - this little game you might have heard of - is currently on track to make its previously announced release window of fall 2025.
]]>The PC port of the original Red Dead Redemption finally arrived yesterday, October 29, and it looks like it's taken barely any time at all for the game to start getting the not quite lore-friendly modding treatment. Cue videos of John Marston watching anime and the GTA 6 trailer in Armadillo's old timey cinema.
]]>There are constant questions over whether GTA 6 will be delayed, but one former Rockstar dev thinks any announcement of a delay won't come until next year.
]]>You remember the Epsilon Program? It's basically the GTA series' parody of Scientology and other religions with rather out there beliefs which, at least to the cynic like you or I, can often sound a bit like cults or pyramid schemes. Well, during GTA 5's development, ex-Rockstar developer and everyone's favourite in-game radio host Lazlow Jones reckons he recieved a real life phone call from some folks who actually believe in the ways of Kifflom.
]]>Video game voice actors represented by SAG-AFTRA - one of America's biggest actors' unions - are going on strike. After over a year of negotiations with some of the biggest western publishers including Activision Blizzard, EA, and Take Two, negotiations have reached a standstill over one of the more controversial points of debate: AI.
]]>The hype train for GTA 6 is already well and truly chugging along at this point. However, if you're hoping it'll offer an experience that's "wildly different" to GTA 5 in terms of being a huge step forward from a technical standpoint, a long-time Rockstar developer reckons you might want to keep your expectations in check a bit.

]]>Good news, people who're still playing GTA Online, Rockstar's just revealed the new thing its next major update - which is coming this summer - will let your protagonist add to their ever-growing CV. It's professional bounty hunting, in case you were wondering.
]]>Grand Theft Auto 6 is essentially locked-in for a fall 2025 release date, and the CEO of the game's publisher Take-Two has said it's "highly confident" it can make that date.
]]>Rockstar is slowly gearing up for Grand Theft Auto 6's release, and as it does so, some new details about co-founder Dan Houser's new game have been confirmed.
]]>You can chill out. Take-Two has narrowed down the release window for GTA 6 from a year to a month in that year. Yup, despite the rumours of delays possibly pushing the game from 2025 to 2026, we've now had officialy word it's coming in fall 2025. Also, GTA 5 continues to fly off the shelves.
]]>It looks like Rockstar might be preparing to finally release the original Red Dead Redemption on PC, if an update to the developer's launcher is anything to go by. Yup, over a decade on from the release of John Marston's first adventure, you might soon get to experience it on a fresh platform.
]]>Take-Two Interactive, the company behind GTA developer Rockstar Games - is reportedly set to shut down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 - the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World.
]]>Take-Two Interactive, the company behind GTA developer Rockstar Games - which also recently acquired Borderlands developer Gearbox Software for $460 million - has announced plans to lay off just over 500 of its employees and cancel some in-development projects. This, as we've sadly come to expect, is part of a plan to cut costs at the company.
]]>Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently slated for a spring 2025 release, but it’s possible the game could slip into 2026.
]]>The trailer for the next big update that’s coming to GTA Online has just dropped, and what’s Rockstar got in store for us this time? Well, it’s helping out non-corrupt law enforcement and seeing how chicken burgers get made.
]]>After Rockstar Games reportedly asked its employees working on GTA 6 - a small upcoming release you might have heard of - to return to in-office working once April arrives, a number of the company’s developers have made clear just how unhappy they are about that idea.
]]>Good news, people who like mildly funny numbers (it’s me, I’m people), the GTA series has now surpassed the 420 million mark in terms of total sales, and Take-Two has revealed that to us just as Rockstar is about make ST-Ds available to the GTA Online masses.
]]>In what is rather bittersweet news for fans of both GTA and GTA roleplay servers, rapper and streamer T-Pain has confirmed his work on the upcoming GTA 6.
]]>GTA 6’s first trailer has been the subject of a lot of amateur detective work since it dropped, but the eagle-eyed GTA community has now moved on to the game’s initial promo art, which they think might contain a sneaky first look at its map.
]]>GTA 6 maker Rockstar is again accused of using someone's likeness in its games without permission.
]]>If you’ve spent the past day or so watching GTA 6’s first trailer over and over again, you might want to check out this breakdown of it from an ex-Rockstar developer.
]]>As it turns out, there is actually a Grand Theft Auto film, but uh, it doesn't really have anything to do with, well, Grand Theft Auto.
]]>A lot of hype is understandably circulating the internet ever since the GTA 6 trailer went live and with hype comes memes. There are many out there - but only one of them features the glorious face of of Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
]]>Because it’s just been that kind of year, GTA 6’s first trailer has now arrived, with Rockstar having had to abandon its premiere plans thanks to (yup, you guessed it) a leak.
]]>Here's your very first look at GTA 6 in the debut GTA 6 trailer, the next entry in the GTA franchise from Rockstar, coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
]]>The GTA 6 trailer is out, blowing past YouTube records and giving us our first real look at both the protagonist of the upcoming crime RPG and Vice City, the playground in which we'll be able to cause havoc in. It's a nice and short tone setting trailer, with plenty of powerful imagery that helps get the tone across. However, some of that imagery isn't as fictional as you may assume.
]]>It has been a wild night for GTA 6. Following the leak of the game's reveal trailer (after all that build-up and hype), more details about the game are now starting to emerge. The trailer itself has been immensely popular, and while it did confirm a 2025 release window, it neglected to mention what platforms the game will be on.
]]>It was bound to happen, really. Following Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar's open world tour de force which was equal parts Grand Theft Horsey and Sad Man Dies Slowly Of Tuberculosis, we sort of expected Grand Theft Auto to skew a little more grown up for its next outing. And from the looks of the trailer, it looks like that expectation has held up:
]]>We finally have our first proper glimpse of GTA 6, Rockstar's next magnum opus, and it looks to be a huge sprawling epic set in a new version of Vice City that's far grander and more intricately detailed than we've ever seen before. Considering the last time we visited it was the PS2 era, Atomic Kitten were still in the charts, and half the people who work on this website were still in nappies, it's a pretty mindblowing upgrade.
]]>If you haven't already, you must check out the much anticipated trailer for GTA 6:
]]>UPDATE
]]>Turns out that the first trailer date for GTA 6 has been hiding in almost plain sight, for a good few months.
]]>Some footage of what is allegedly GTA 6 has popped up online, and it's mainly just a look at a city on a computer screen.
]]>Rockstar Games has just delivered a swanky graphic confirming that GTA 6’s first trailer is coming on December 5. Yes, that’s next Tuesday.
]]>A date has finally been revealed for the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. Fans won't have to wait long, as it's set to drop on December 5. That's just 4 days until we get our first look at GTA 6 folks.
]]>As we wait with bated breath for the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer that’s coming next month, we’ve been replaying some of the older games and trying to imagine what shape a modern GTA would take. The world has changed irrevocably since GTA V released in 2013: whether you’ve approved of them or not, it’s undeniable that there have been huge social and political changes in the last ten years.
]]>GTA developer Rockstar once had a go at making a zombie survival game set in Scotland using Vice City’s code, but quickly gave up because people found it too depressing a concept to keep working on.
]]>“Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather…”
]]>While Rockstar has started up the GTA 6 hype train this week, some new comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick seem to suggest the likelihood of us getting a film or TV adaptation based on the series any time soon are pretty slim.
]]>In case you somehow missed it, we've now had official confirmation from Rockstar itself that a GTA 6 trailer is coming in December. The game is hugely anticipated by millions of people and who can blame them? GTA 5 was fantastic, while GTA Online has somehow managed to keep folks invested in a game that's a decade old.
]]>Rockstar Games has finally confirmed that a GTA 6 trailer is coming in December, so you can all stop asking about it.
]]>With a reveal of the long-awaited GTA 6 potentially imminent, the voice actor behind GTA 5’s Michael has responded to a fan asking whether the character could be in for a return in the series’ next entry in rather coy fashion.
]]>While reports about an imminent GTA6 reveal are swarming around the internet, there remain some GTAV players who refuse to get their hopes up. For these sorry few who've been burned before, only an official statement from Rockstar itself will get them excited.
]]>Rockstar plans to announce the highly-anticipated GTA 6 “as early as this week” with a trailer to follow before the year is out, a new report claims.
]]>Rockstar appears to be laying the groundwork to get more people to subscribe to GTA+ ahead of GTA 6 as it adds in a couple more games for you to play.
]]>“What do you want to see in GTA 6?” That’s the very simple question I asked every member of staff at VG247 in order to gauge what the current mood is around the game. Do people want more of the same? It’d make sense – after all, Grand Theft Auto 5 is the best-selling game of all time, and by some margin. If it ain’t broke, the idiom goes, don’t fix it. But we’ve also been playing around as Trevor, Michael, and Franklin for a decade now, and maybe that whole setup is starting to get a bit rote.
]]>GTA 6 - one of the most hyped games in development right now - is finally due out this year. Over 12 years after GTA 5 was unveiled, the eagerly anticipated first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released in December 2023.
]]>Michael Unsworth, vice president of writing at Rockstar Games, has seemingly left the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption developer.
]]>Rockstar Games has announced that Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM and RedM, is now officially a part of the development studio.
]]>A recent Take Two earnings call has given some hope to the information-starved Grand Theft Auto fan, as it points to the next financial year as a major source of income. In simple terms, there's a good chance we'll get GTA 6 before April 2025.
]]>The teenager who was arrested over the Grand Theft Auto 6 hack has been accused of blackmailing Rockstar over the game's source code.
]]>Microsoft has revealed more games coming to Game Pass in July, and things kick off today with the return of GTA 5 and the addition of Sword and Fairy: Together Forever.
]]>A 17 year old was arrested in Oxfordshire yesterday, due to the suspicions of hacking. According to journalist Matthew Keys and sources who spoke to them, they were allegedly involved in the GTA 6 hack that resulted in a major information leak last weekend, and are also connected to a prior hack on Uber. This source also claims that the arrest was made by London City police in collaboration with the FBI.
]]>Like many, my first thought upon seeing the GTA 6 leak was ‘f**k’. The second was a flashback to the protocols which had occurred when leaks or security breaches, no matter how minor, had happened when I was on the development side of the industry: usually, angry-faced men bursting into a room and demanding nobody touch anything. The third thought was what Rockstar, the king of image control and information flow, would do now. My mind ran to that sequence from The Bourne Identity, where an embattled CIA station chief demands the agency ‘get everybody up’. Everybody, in this instance, being a set of assassins, each with cool names and even colder intentions.
]]>Following the gigantic GTA 6 leak last weekend, several developers have come forward in solidarity with Rockstar against misinformed claims that graphics are among the first aspects of a game finished during game development. How have they done so? By posting images and footage of their own early builds, and the basic and often-hilariously patched together early assets.
]]>Rockstar has issued a statement earlier on the ongoing saga of the GTA 6 leaks, which resulted in heaps of videos and screenshots from the unannounced game appear online over the weekend.
]]>The weekend has brought Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two, a lot of headaches. A massive amount of GTA 6 development videos and screenshots were published online by an anonymous leaker. GTA never suffered a leak at this scale, and the material understandably got published everywhere.
]]>What appears to be an incredibly massive Grand Theft Auto 6 leak has appeared online, so be wary if you're trying to avoid spoilers.
]]>When Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who’s well known for making courageous – and often unpopular – statements, claimed earlier this month that GTA 6 would set a new “creative benchmark for all entertainment,” many folks were quick to dismiss such claims as Take-Two and Rockstar Games’ hype machine derailing way too early. But what if he’s right?
]]>By this point, we all know that Rockstar is working on the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Per a development update from the studio back in February, GTA 6 is "well underway."
]]>A new report states GTA 6 will feature a female protagonist in the main campaign.
]]>At the 20th anniversary screening of classic Tom Sizemore flick Heat, Al Pacino revealed that his character moved and spoke in that way because detective Vincent Hanna “chips cocaine” habitually. Perhaps pressured over the edge by the demands of the job, the once idealistic Serpico-type resorts to the Bolivian marching powder to fuel his crime-fighting. So that’s why his eyeballs appeared so determined to burst free from his skull. It’s an enlightening bit of movie trivia that sheds new light on one of Pacino’s – if not cinema’s – most memorable performances.
]]>“Actually, Grand Theft Auto is a clever satire of the American Dream” is the sort of toe-curlingly obvious declaration that tiresome pseuds like me used to come out with in the early 2000s, in order to assert the artistic merit of a game in which you could get a blowjob from a prostitute to replenish your health, then murder her to get your money back.
]]>Rockstar has confirmed that the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, which we're calling GTA 6 at the moment, is "well underway."
]]>According to legendary Hip Hop artist Snoop Dogg, revealed during an interview on an upcoming Rolling Stone’s Music Now podcast, Dr. Dre is working on music for an as-of-yet unannounced Grand Theft Auto game. Described frankly as “Great f**king music”, this would be the first sign of Dr. Dre creating anything new since his 2015 album Compton.
]]>During a live episode of German game show Schlag den Star, one GTA fan decided to take the stage demanding any news about GTA 6.
]]>Multiple reports are surfacing which suggest that Grand Theft Auto 6 – or GTA 6, if you prefer – won't launch for another four years.
]]>A new Take-Two patent has been discovered that appears based on improving the intelligence and navigation capabilities of AI.
]]>You shouldn't get your hopes up about any impending GTA-related announcements.

]]>GTA 6 will take place in two locations, feature the series' first female lead character and could release as late as 2022, according to a new report.
]]>Rockstar is currently busy getting Red Dead Redemption 2 ready, but that doesn't mean it's not working on a new GTA game as well. At least that's how this can be interpreted.
]]>Try to contain your excitement at playing it on a console not much younger than you are.
