Why This Matters

The launch of preorders for GTA 6 marks a highly anticipated moment for gamers and the tech industry, ending a 13-year wait since GTA 5. This release could signal a new era of innovation and excitement in open-world gaming, impacting hardware sales and digital entertainment trends. Consumers are eager for the next chapter in the iconic franchise, highlighting the game's significance in gaming culture.

Key Takeaways

Rockstar Games

Grand Theft Auto 6 is stirring up a frenzy partly because of the huge time gap between now and the last mainline entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto 5. GTA 5 launched in September, 2013, meaning by the time Rockstar releases GTA 6, we'll have waited more than 13 years between games.

GTA 5 launched on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before being ported to the PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S -- basically two entire generations of consoles without another numbered entry in the franchise.

Hopefully we won't have to wait that long for whatever the next mainline Grand Theft Auto game is. I'd love to see a return to the 2000s when we got GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4 all in a seven-year span. Rockstar was cooking with gas that decade.
