Throwing more water on the GTA: London fire is a 2013 Guardian interview with Rockstar’s Dan Houser: “I think for us, my gut feeling is, GTA London was cool for the time, but games were more limited then,” said Houser. Moving location would involve a core shift in tone, let alone car models and fake brands. While a London-based return would be brilliant, the GTA atmosphere is very much entwined with its satirical version of the US. Now there’s nothing in the way of actual evidence for this, although several outlets have echoed the speculation. Yibada reported on speculation that GTA 6 could even depart American shores in favour of London. Could Rockstar be tempted to stray outside of North America for GTA 6? That game came out over a decade ago, and all iterations in the series since then have been set in the US. Rockstar was allegedly considering GTA Tokyo around the time of GTA Vice City, so it’s likely the developers opted for the LA-aping San Andreas instead. The source claimed the studio at one point were considering a GTA game set in Tokyo, but was put off by the “problematic” road system and the difficulties of moving the game outside of the USA. Based on a sparse amount of detail, here’s what we know so far about GTA 6.īack in March 2016, TechRadarcited an unnamed insider source that said preliminary work had begun on the sequel.

No concrete details are yet known about the game, and with Red Dead Redemption 2 coming out in October 2018, its very unlikely we’ll hear anything before that, but signs have begun to emerge that work is underway. It’s no surprise, then, that Rockstar wants to follow this success with another instalment, GTA 6. To put this into perspective, the film Avatar, which holds the record for the highest grossing film of all time, made around half this amount. This has reportedly earned developers Rockstar $6 billion, from a budget of just $265 million. All of this was further bolstered by the popularity of GTA Online.


We already knew GTA V was popular – earning a reported billion dollars in its first week – but now the game has achieved a staggering new achievement it’s become the most profitable entertainment product of all time.Īccording to reports, to date, GTA V has sold 90 million copies across Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC and, despite the odd drop in price thanks to online sales, it has managed to consistently sell at its original price.
