On 4 February 2022, Rockstar confirmed development was 'well underway', and they intended to 'significantly move beyond what we have previously delivered'.

In the years before its announcement, a new Grand Theft Auto game became highly anticipated, and journalists noted some fans had become frustrated by Rockstar Games's continued silence, particularly after they announced a re-release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2020. Writing for Bloomberg News in July 2022, Schreier reported the game, titled Grand Theft Auto VI, entered development in 2014 and would feature a pair of protagonists influenced by Bonnie and Clyde, including a Latina woman he claimed the developers were cautiously subverting the series' trend of joking about marginalised groups. In July 2021, journalist Tom Henderson claimed the game would be set in modern-day Vice City, its map could evolve akin to Fortnite, and it would not release until 2025 Schreier reaffirmed these reports. In April 2020, Kotaku 's Jason Schreier reported the game was 'early in development' as 'a moderately sized release' that would expand over time, to avoid the developer crunch of its predecessors. In March 2018, The Know reported the game, code-named Project Americas, would be set primarily in a reworked Vice City and partly in South America, with a female playable protagonist. Footage from unfinished versions was leaked online in September in what was described as one of the biggest leaks in the history of the video game industry.įollowing the release of Grand Theft Auto V in September 2013, Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies said the company had 'some ideas' for the next entry in the series. Following years of speculation and leaks, Rockstar confirmed in February 2022 that the game is in development. It is due to be the eighth main Grand Theft Auto game, following Grand Theft Auto V (2013), and the sixteenth instalment overall.
