Rockstar announces Grand Theft Auto 6

Rockstar has confirmed that it is working on a new Grand Theft Auto, GTA, game. In a recent Grand Theft Auto community update post, a Rockstar spokesperson wrote, "We are pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway. We look forward to sharing more as soon as we are ready, so please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official details."

Rockstar hasn't revealed much about the game itself as of yet. According to previous reports, the initial version of GTA 6--if it's called GTA 6--may be smaller than GTA 5, with updates used to improve it over time. According to other reports, the game will be set in a Miami-inspired Vice City.

Rockstar patented a new NPC navigation system last year, which some believe will be used in the next GTA. The system is intended to create more lifelike road users and more realistic traffic behaviour, among other updates.
