It has millions of loyal fans who will continue to play GTA Online for years to come, plus a new game to support, hopefully with the same longevity and vitality of GTA 5. With GTA 6 slated for 2025, Rockstar has a difficult needle to thread. Since launching in 2013, GTA Online is regularly played by millions of players - players who have invested hundreds of millions of hours (and dollars) in the game. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, is one of the biggest games of all time Rockstar has sold more than 190 million copies of the game across three console generations, and following that massive success won’t be an easy task.īut Rockstar has another monumental challenge as GTA 6 creeps closer: delivering a successor, or companion, to Grand Theft Auto Online, the hugely successful multiplayer component built on GTA 5. As impressive as GTA 6 looks, it comes with immense expectations. Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer gives fans of the open-world crime franchise a peek at the first new GTA in more than a decade.
