Grand Theft Auto V

90 / 100ShooterRacingAdventureSeptember 17, 2013

Grand Theft Auto V is a vast open world game set in Los Santos, a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. The game blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story.

GTA 5 Being Pulled from PlayStation Plus Just Before GTA 6 Launches

Grand Theft Auto V is set to leave PlayStation Plus with just over a month to spare before Grand Theft Auto VI hits shelves, leaving subscribers with a narrow window to dive into Los Santos before it disappears from the service. The timing is striking, given that Rockstar's next entry in the franchise is right around the corner, making GTA 5's removal feel particularly pointed for anyone who had been putting off a replay or a first-time run through the game.

GTA 6 Officially Rated M: Sex Scenes, Weather Overhaul, and More Confirmed

Grand Theft Auto 6 has received its official ESRB rating ahead of its November 2026 release, and the result is exactly what anyone familiar with the franchise would expect: Mature. The rating, confirmed by multiple international ratings boards, carries content descriptors that mirror those of GTA 5 almost exactly, covering blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, and use of drugs and alcohol. Notably, the new rating explicitly confirms that GTA 6 will feature sex scenes, a detail flagged by IGN based on the international listings. Destructoid summed up the general reaction from long-time fans: no surprises here, just an expectation of even more of the franchise's signature crude ridiculousness.

Leaked Files Reveal Canceled GTA 5 Liberty City DLC and Early GTA 6 Prototype

A massive nearly 200GB leak of Rockstar Games source code and internal files has surfaced online, offering an unprecedented look at what could have been for Grand Theft Auto 5 and what was in store for GTA 6.

The provenance of the files is not entirely confirmed, but multiple outlets have corroborated the content circulating across the internet.

GTA 6's Map Is Three Times Bigger Than RDR2 and Twice the Size of GTA 5

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the staggering scale of Grand Theft Auto 6's open world, and the numbers are hard to wrap your head around. The game's full map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's already sprawling landscape and twice as large as GTA 5's Los Santos, meaning you could fit two complete GTA 5 maps inside GTA 6 with room to spare. Rockstar shared these figures as part of a large info blowout, giving fans and press their clearest picture yet of just how ambitious the studio's next release truly is.

GTA 6's Deepest Systems Yet: Wanted Profiles, NPC Overhauls, and More

Rockstar Games has pulled back the curtain on Grand Theft Auto 6's most ambitious mechanics to date, following an extended gameplay reveal on Netflix. The sheer breadth of what's been detailed is staggering. The classic Wanted system has been rebuilt from the ground up, now tracking players across up to six stars using a combination of face recognition, clothing identification, and vehicle tracking. Police will remember your appearance between encounters, meaning that simply losing a tail is no longer enough. Players will need to change clothes, swap cars, or split up with their co-protagonist to shake off law enforcement. Sitting alongside this is a brand-new Criminal Profile system, drawing clear comparisons to Red Dead Redemption 2's honor mechanic, which logs the severity of your crimes over time and shapes how the world responds to you. A deliberate-miss shooting mechanic even lets players fire warning shots to avoid racking up civilian and cop kills, giving those who want a slightly cleaner criminal record a new tool to manage their profile.

GTA 5 Actor Auditioned for 60+ GTA 6 Roles but Got No Callbacks from Rockstar

Robert Bogue, the actor behind fan-favorite FIB agent Steve Haines in Grand Theft Auto 5, has revealed a surprisingly frustrating experience trying to return to the franchise. Bogue says he auditioned for more than 60 different roles in GTA 6, only to be met with complete silence from Rockstar Games. The sheer number of attempts makes the lack of response all the more striking, painting a picture of an actor who was clearly eager to remain part of the series that helped define his career.

GTA 6 Expected to Be 'Monstrous,' Ex-Rockstar Dev Reflects

A former Rockstar Games producer is adding his voice to the chorus of anticipation surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, and he's not holding back. John Ricchio, who worked on GTA 5 during his time at Rockstar, says he can only imagine how large the upcoming open-world title has grown since his days at the studio. "It must be monstrous," Ricchio remarked, reflecting on how the team's ambitions and resources have only expanded in the years since GTA 5's release. His comments underscore just how much expectation has built around what is arguably the most anticipated game in the industry's history.

GTA 6 Pre-Orders Are the Strongest on Record, With $5B Launch Week Projected

Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be the biggest entertainment launch in history. Analytics firm Newzoo reports that GTA 6 is running "the strongest pre-order campaign on record," with early sales data suggesting Rockstar Games could move between 37 and 51 million copies in its opening week alone. To put that in perspective, that figure would be roughly five times the launch performance of GTA 5, a game that itself set multiple records when it released in 2013.
