GTA6 is not the only thing they have planned at Rockstar, says its CEO

The anticipation surrounding GTA 6 has reached unprecedented levels since its announcement, with years of rumors and analysis surrounding its recently released trailers fueling the excitement of the gaming community. Although the release date is scheduled for May 26, 2026, concerns about possible delays persist.

The anticipation surrounding GTA 6 has reached unprecedented levels since its announcement, with years of rumors and analysis surrounding its trailers (recently released) fueling the excitement of the gaming community. Although the release date is set for May 26, 2026, concerns about possible delays persist. The development of a video game of this nature is remarkably complex, and it would not be the first time a blockbuster extends beyond the expected timeline to ensure a polished release.

More projects on the horizon for the company

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, has expressed his confidence that GTA 6 will meet expectations, despite his focus on not inflating them excessively. During an interview on CNBC, Zelnick stated: “My level of conviction is very, very high, but we all have to work. We have to deliver something excellent to consumers, and then they will tell us how good it is. This stance aligns with Rockstar’s track record, which has shown that delays can result in more polished final products.

In addition to GTA 6, Zelnick mentioned that Rockstar has multiple projects underway. Among them is the remake of Max Payne 1 and 2, developed in collaboration with Remedy. There are also rumors about a port of GTA 4 for next-generation consoles, as well as updates for GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2. Information has leaked about a possible dedicated version of Red Dead Redemption 2 for Switch 2 and new updates for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Rumors suggest that, while the development of GTA 6 progresses, Rockstar may be in the early stages of conceptualization for Red Dead 3. The iconic nature of the franchise and Rockstar’s philosophy, which resembles an onion with multiple layers, indicate that GTA 6 will be a resounding sales success, potentially ranking among the top three in history in its first months of release.

A player manages to reach one billion dollars in GTA Online in a way that has raised questions in the community

GTA Online, the popular multiplayer title from Rockstar Games, is facing criticism over its economy, considered one of the most unfavorable in the video game industry. Players often have to rely on microtransactions or the tedious farming process to enrich their accounts within the game. The recent achievement of a player known as KyotoJF, who reached one billion dollars in the game legally after more than 12,000 hours of play over 11 years, has reignited the debate about the viability of obtaining wealth without resorting to questionable methods.

GTA Online, the popular multiplayer title from Rockstar Games, is facing criticism over its economy, considered one of the most unfavorable in the video game industry. Players often have to rely on microtransactions or the tedious farming process to enrich their accounts within the game. The recent achievement of a player known as KyotoJF, who reached one billion dollars in the game legally after more than 12,000 hours of gameplay over 11 years, has reignited the debate about the viability of obtaining wealth without resorting to questionable methods.

Is it legitimate not to play the game?

KyotoJF achieved his feat by managing all available businesses in GTA Online, a monumental challenge given that many of these require significant investments of time and virtual money. Although his success is admirable, part of the community is skeptical about the legitimacy of his method. Some criticize the use of AFK tactics, which involve leaving the game running while the player engages in other activities, such as working. From this perspective, accumulating wealth through these practices is not considered a “clean” way to earn money in the game.

In addition to the questions about KyotoJF’s tactics, many players believe that the economy of GTA Online has been designed by Rockstar to encourage spending on microtransactions, which leaves those who play “legitimately” at a clear disadvantage. Although the company has taken measures against cheating and shortcuts, the shadow of these practices persists, further complicating the landscape for those seeking to get rich fairly.

In this context, the question arises about the morality of the AFK method. Is it legitimate in such a hostile ecosystem as GTA Online? Opinions are divided, and the debate continues in the player community as they await the arrival of future updates and content for the game.

Mindseye, the highly anticipated video game developed by Build A Rocket Boy, a studio founded by Leslie Benzies, known for his work on GTA Online, has debuted on Steam with a discouraging outlook. Less than a day after its launch, the title has received Mostly Negative reviews, achieving only 39% positive feedback and reaching an average of just 3,300 active players. Optimization issues and technical errors have been pointed out by the community, leading to significant dissatisfaction.

It has not been the launch class we expected

Users have compared the launch of Mindseye to the failure of Cyberpunk 2077, citing a multitude of bugs that severely affect the gaming experience. Among the most notable errors are NPCs disintegrating when touched by vehicles, constant frame rate drops, and occasional crashes. These same complaints have led the community to flood social media with absurd clips showcasing the poor artificial intelligence and other visual issues.

Despite the avalanche of negative criticism, some players have found enjoyment in Mindseye, considering it a more than decent game amidst the wait for GTA 6. However, there is a clear demand among the community for apologies and urgent updates to fix the multiple issues plaguing the launch.

Looking to the future, Mindseye’s roadmap may require significant adjustments after this discouraging debut. Some rumors suggest that the studio is facing a major challenge in meeting player expectations, but there is also the possibility that it could achieve a comeback similar to that of No Man’s Sky, whose doubts were dispelled over time. The future of Mindseye, for now, hangs on the need for several patches and a strong response from Build A Rocket Boy.

The director of Baldur's Gate 3 has the key to ensuring single-player games don't disappear: make better games

The world of video games is at a decisive moment, marked by the unprecedented rise of multiplayer titles and online components.

The world of video games is at a decisive moment, marked by the unprecedented rise of multiplayer titles and online components. Games like Marvel Rivals, GTA Online, and Counter-Strike 2 have captured the attention of millions of users daily, leading to a resurgence of the importance of these social experiences in the industry. However, this phenomenon has raised concerns about the future of single-player games, whose development costs have grown significantly, making it difficult to achieve profitability and leading some to project a bleak outlook for this genre.

Innovation is what will keep single-player games alive

Swen Vincke, founder of Larian Studios and director of Baldur’s Gate 3, has spoken out strongly on this topic, challenging the narrative that suggests single-player video games are doomed to disappear. On his Twitter account, Vincke argues that innovation is the key to revitalizing this category of games. He has pointed out that claims that there is no future for these projects can discourage investment in the sector, something he considers harmful to the industry as a whole.

On the other hand, Matthew Karch from Saber Interactive has expressed his concern about the high production costs that have led to the downfall of studios like Volition, affecting the continuity of franchises like Saints Row. In a recent interview, Karch emphasized that in a context where titles have million-dollar budgets but generate revenues that are often much lower, it is natural for many developers to face uncertainty and unemployment.

Despite these challenges, Vincke’s defense of single-player games could mark a new perspective within the industry, highlighting the need to find a balance and foster innovation to ensure their long-term viability.

Take-Two sues a company that trades GTA Online accounts

The controversy surrounding the buying and selling practices of accounts and items in GTA Online has escalated, as Take-Two, the company behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, has filed a lawsuit against PlayerAuctions, a third-party asset marketplace that allows users to trade game accounts and goods. This litigation is based on Take-Two’s claim that PlayerAuctions facilitates the transaction of unauthorized content, including modified player accounts, game assets, and virtual currency, all obtained through hacks and cheats.

The controversy surrounding the buying and selling practices of accounts and items in GTA Online has escalated, as Take-Two, the company behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, has filed a lawsuit against PlayerAuctions, a third-party asset marketplace that allows users to trade game accounts and goods. This litigation is based on Take-Two’s claim that PlayerAuctions facilitates the transaction of unauthorized content, including modified player accounts, in-game assets, and virtual currency, all obtained through hacks and cheats.

An act that significantly harms the company and the players

According to Take-Two, this commercialization of hacked accounts not only harms the experience of players but also affects the balance and fairness of the game. The lawsuit states that the use of hacks, glitches, and mods infringes the company’s intellectual property, which could jeopardize the accounts of players participating in these transactions. Furthermore, Take-Two argues that this undermines the sales of its ‘shark cards’, a legitimate method for acquiring in-game money, through which players can buy virtual currency or earn money through missions.

The PlayerAuctions platform offers accounts ranging from $5 to $850, each with attributes that can include hundreds of millions of dollars in-game, businesses, vehicles, and maximized character stats. Take-Two claims that PlayerAuctions makes millions of dollars in revenue by taking a commission from each transaction, thus harming players who invest time and effort in the game.

A critical point in this case is the violation of Take-Two’s code of conduct, as handing over control of a GTA Online account to a third party is not only risky but could also result in penalties for the original player. The long and often arduous gaming experience in GTA Online has led some players to consider these payment options; however, the question arises: if the process is not enjoyable, is it really worth playing?

Grand Theft Auto Online is an online multiplayer video game set in the universe of GTA 5. Developed by Rockstar, this new installment of the franchise takes us once again to the chaotic city of Los Santos, although this time the protagonists will not be Franklin, Trevor, or Michael, but ourselves. And GTA Online is much more than an online game; it is a true sandbox of fun where we can unleash our most rebellious self.

You will never imagine the extent of the craving to kill zombies in GTA Online

Horror movie fans have a saying that is certainly not wrong: everything is better with zombies. Pride and Prejudice? Better with zombies. Call Of Duty? Add zombies. And, of course, GTA Online? Where do we even begin. The online game’s Halloween event, which took players back to North Yankton and featured Ludendorff, the place where GTA V begins, posed an almost impossible challenge.

The zombies are coming

Rockstar set a goal for users to kill 800 million zombies, ten times more than originally proposed (80 million). In just three days, over 430 million have already been killed by a group of players always eager for new challenges. In fact, not even in Rockstar’s wildest dreams did they imagine that 400,000 people would join at the start of the event and that, very shortly after, the number would rise to 1,300,000.

Not only that, players are also crushing other objectives such as surviving three waves of zombies in the cemetery to earn a cat mask and $100,000 in-game. Is there any doubt, at this point, that GTA VI is going to sweep away everything in its path?

Police missions arrive at GTA Online

GTA Online not only refuses to die, but also to stop growing. Generating interest and apathy in equal parts at its launch, like GTA V, the online version of the game seems immortal. That’s why we’re not surprised that, for the summer, they have decided to release a new content update to keep us entertained. Even if that means putting us on the other side of the law.

Focusing on law and order aspects, GTA Online will allow us, for the first time, to be the ones to put an end to crime on the streets. The biggest novelty will be that we can create bounty hunter groups in San Andreas, establishing a business of hunting criminals throughout the city. Undoubtedly, this will give a special flavor to the game servers, including role-playing ones.

But it doesn’t end there. In addition to combining cosmetics and law enforcement, they will also introduce new police missions. Vincent, a recently added character, will provide us with these missions, as he will need help enforcing his authority without internal affairs asking questions afterward. A perfect role for the average GTA Online player.

All this will have to include numerous quality-of-life improvements, as well as modes for content creators within the game. This last one is especially interesting, as it will add the possibility of creating different types of races in the creation tools.

All this should keep us entertained while we learn more about GTA VI. While Geoff Keighley has stated that we shouldn’t expect any news about it during the Summer Game Fest, that doesn’t mean there can’t be new news outside of his event. This new update will arrive at some point this month, still unannounced. GTA VI will be released at some point in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

Classic Rockstar games for free? Yes, with GTA+

GTA+ continues to grow, offering new games to delight Rockstar fans, particularly those with a more cult taste.

Rockstar is much more than GTA. Although it may seem otherwise, their game catalog is extensive and extraordinary. They practically don’t have a bad game, or to be exact, all their games are fascinating. Those that are not GTA or Red Dead Redemption 2 are not a resounding success in terms of critical acclaim and public support capable of sustaining the industry on their own, but they are games that it would be a horror if they were forgotten.

Grand Theft Auto V DOWNLOAD

Unfortunately, Rockstar has not treated their own catalog very well. When it comes to considering old games, even when it comes to GTA, they have always done the bare minimum. Although it seems that has recently changed, because they have decided to rescue some of their classic games.

Rockstar has a subscription called GTA+ that provides exclusive advantages for GTA Online and also allowed to play a selection of GTAs, including Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Stories. Recently, Rockstar announced the inclusion in this list of Red Dead Redemption, their excellent cowboy game that shaped the modern classic that is its sequel. And far from stopping there, according to IGN, even more games are coming to the service.

Other games that would be coming soon to GTA+ would be Bully and L.A. Noire, if the people at IGN are correct. Bully is an excellent addition, being a cult classic, on par or even superior to the GTA games for many, which has been somewhat forgotten by Rockstar, even canceling a sequel that was in development. On the other hand, L.A. Noire is a divisive game that aimed to use innovative facial technology to take detective games to the next level, with mixed results.

In any case, what seems evident is that Rockstar wants to make its service more appealing, even for those who don’t play GTA Online. Something for which rescuing some classic and beloved games by fans seems like an excellent idea. Especially because, perhaps, some of those fans will be encouraged to try GTA Online, in a feedback loop that can only benefit the company.

GTA Online introduces a new class of races with a week of special rewards

GTA Online introduces a new class of races with a week of special rewards, along with discounts on cars and properties.

If something has kept GTA 5 as the best-selling game week after week, it’s GTA Online. Even though the base game is incredible, what has given it its exceptional longevity is the popularity of GTA Online. Both for all the people who use it to play role-playing games and those who focus on what the experience curated by Rockstar itself offers. Because this week, in addition, Rockstar has decided to enhance one of the parts of the game experience with a new inclusion.

Grand Theft Auto Online DOWNLOAD

Rockstar has just introduced Drag Races and, until January 31st, they will give double rewards in GTA Online, both in RP and GTA$. In these races, timing is important, as you will have to dodge traffic while trying to outperform your competitors, always with a limited amount of nitro. To start, you will need a Mimi Membership at the LS Car Meet, and if you don’t have one yet, you’re in luck. During this week, the membership will cost 50% less, making it much easier to join these crazy urban races.

If racing is not your thing, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on better rewards. Auto Shop heist contracts also have double rewards throughout the week, just like in the Rhino Hunt competition, which will allow you to have motorized action without the need to compete in speed races if that’s not your thing. Although you better enjoy theft or senseless destruction. Two very GTA-like things, by the way.

In addition, during this week, there are juicy discounts on everything related to cars. The properties, modifications, and improvements of Auto Shop have a 30% discount, and there are also several showrooms that will allow you not only to acquire exclusive vehicles only during this week but also to get some of them with a juicy discount.

All of this will remain in effect until January 31st. So if you like cars and their possibilities, you should take advantage of burning GTA Online and getting more rewards and benefits while they are still active. Because even though Rockstar surely have something new in mind, not every week they give so much love to car lovers.

Grand Theft Auto Online: Fans Weigh in on the Perfect Ending to Rockstar’s Hit Game

There are those who do not stop theorizing about how the end of Grand Theft Auto should be in its online version.

For an MMO to last for a couple of years is normal, but for it to be still going strong a decade later is almost a miracle considering the new features that come out almost every day. But of course, when that MMO is called GTA Online, things change. The problem is that players are already glimpsing GTA VI on the horizon, and, with it, they smell the expiration date. Maybe that’s why there are those who do not stop theorizing about how the end of Grand Theft Auto should be in its online version.

Fanfiction, but well done

A user on Reddit has imagined what the perfect ending would look like, and what might seem like a second-rate fanfic would actually be a nice ending to GTA. Bloody and full of gunfire, but a nice ending nonetheless. In it, your character would have become one of those big shots who own yachts and drink luxury brand coffee… And, of course, he’d be a target.

GTA V DOWNLOAD

But who would want a piece of the pie? “The noise is coming from Vice City, and San Andreas, boss. They’re all coming for you.” Luckily, the player would have all the allies on his side. Franklin, Imani, Lester, Paige, Agent 14, Pavel, Tony and Chops. Even Lester and Trevor from the GTA V story would show up to help you save your ass one last time. “I heard you needed some unpredictable madness in the traditional style. Let’s go fuck some people up.”

The user’s idea ends there, but there’s still the finishing touch that someone adds in the comments: what if the person responsible isn’t Merryweather or anyone from Liberty City, but a new character from GTA VI? It would unite all the concepts… Although we’ll have to see what Rockstar, which for the moment has said nothing officially about the release date of GTA VI nor its (sure) online companion, has up its sleeve. It’s possible that we still have a few GTAO updates left!
