GTA 6 is "Well Underway", Confirms Developer Rockstar Games
The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series is one of the most popular game franchises ever created, with the latest version V (five), perhaps the most popular installment. However, GTA V was released back in September of 2013, and it is almost a nine-year-old game at this point. Without any regard to its Online part, fans of GTA need new content to keep them satisfied. For a while, we have been collecting rumors about the existence of GTA 6, a successor to the famous GTA V edition. Today, we got the information "straight from the horse's mouth," the game developer Rockstar Games, that the release of GTA 6 is "well underway."

On the other hand, they have the fresh examples of how Cyberpunk 2077 did on launch, or even worse - their own botched Definitive remasters, so at least from a technical point of view the game should be solid. Or rather, it must be. But the longer you delay to polish stuff, the worse the above problem gets.
There are some other points to consider, too, such as the abandonment of V's single-player campaign, the massive microtransactions push in Online, the multiple the DMCA takedowns of mods and Take-Two's Zynga buyout. After all these I won't be surprised if they start dabbling in the NFT plague soon and/or incorporate them in the game. This would be a ritual suicide in my book.
The GTA games are my favorites but I don't know if Rockstar will earn my money this time. Only time will tell...
But that's a problem I've always had with them. Their games ARE top polish. But I fear the stagnation has long set in as a consequence. They already feel formulaic to me, and I tire increasingly more of how they get certain things done in their games with each release. They become that much closer to being dealbreakers each time. The Rockstar way of building games is getting old for me.
In the end , this makes me pretty confident that the game will not suck, aside from the fact that this is Rockstar and not some random company, their track record simply is great.
Only, greed-driven online expansions.
Guess my rtx 3080 is going to be working hard the upcoming time. Right now it's sweeting throw Dying light 2 in the meantime.
I'll be too old to even care at that time.
edit - and then discovered CS:S and almost didn't make it through university.
