There’s been no shortage of rumours about Grand Theft Auto 6 for months, if not years, but we may very well have gotten our first concrete piece of info on the game. In report by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier about how Rockstar’s internal culture has changed of late, new details on the unannounced sequel have surfaced.
Reportedly, unlike the likes of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 6 will be launching as a “moderately-sized” game (though the report notes that it will still be a pretty large game, given Rockstar’s standards). Rockstar then plan on adding to the game and expanding it further with regular post-launch updates. It’s also mentioned that GTA 6 is still in early production, which would mean it’s a ways off from launch yet.
Not too long ago, reports emerged that Take-Two Interactive were trying to get Rockstar to adopt model that sees them releasing games with greater frequency, so GTA 6 being a relatively smaller production would very much fall in line with that.
Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser recently left the company, so it’s clear that they are going through some changes. It should be interesting to see how that materializes in the coming years.
