The same slide also explains thatGrand Theft Auto 5,first launched in 2013, has sold over 205 million units to date. According to the company, it also “reached $1 billion in retail sales faster than any entertainment release in history.” Whether its sequel will be able to match these lofty sales figures has yet to be seen, but it wouldn’t be too surprising given the level of anticipation surrounding the title.
Little is currently known about the plot ofGrand Theft Auto 6, though the reveal trailer points to a return to the fan-favorite locale of Vice City which has been featured in previous games. According to recent leaks, it will follow dual protagonists as they go head to head with the law.
Expect the same satirical tone as other entries, plus plenty of references to politics and modern culture. We also know that the game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, with a PC version yet to be confirmed.
