New York-based Rockstar Games did not say when Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the street or how it will be different from the previous edition of the game released in 2013 to blockbuster sales.
“We’re pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the series is underway,” the studio’s subsidiary Take Two Interactive said in an online post.

A tweet from the account @robertyoushock focused on Rockstar saying the new game is well underway.
“This same language was used in June 2012 in regards to GTA V,” the tweet read, noting it took 14 more months for the game to launch.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise in which players take on the role of a criminal has been criticized for glorifying law-breaking, violence and abuse of women.
“This could be the GTA to end all GTAs!,” read a tweeted reply to Rockstar from the account of self-described esports commentator and game streamer @nathanias.
