Streaming service and mobile game publisher Netflix seems quite keen on expanding its video game offerings. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the company is seemingly trying to bring Grand Theft Auto to its platform in some capacity. It is worth noting, however, that this does not seem to be the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6.
The report indicates that the company is trying to expand its video game offerings beyond smaller mobile games, and that Netflix has seemingly “discussed plans” to release a game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise on its own platform with Take-Two Interactive, which owns the Grand Theft Auto IP.
An analyst has revealed that Netflix has reportedly spent around $1 billion in its attempts at bringing gaming to its platform so far, and there don’t seem to be any indications that the company will be slowing down.
In recent news for the next major Grand Theft Auto title, the Australian Classification website had seemingly rated Grand Theft Auto 6 for release with an MA15+ rating, which is quite a bit more lenient than the MA18+ rating for Grand Theft Auto 5.
