The CEO of Rockstar Games' parent company gave insight in an interview on why there isn't a concrete release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 yet. With the game still lingering on an uncertain 2025 release window, players are eager to know when this beloved follow-up to the esteemed Grand Theft Auto 5 is set to finally come out. As only one trailer has been shared so far, fans of the series are unsure of what to expect from the game, especially as we appear to draw closer to its release. k283c

Rockstar Games has acquired Video Games Deluxe, the developer of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, and has renamed the studio Rockstar Australia. The two studios have a history of collaboration, with Video Games Deluxe previously working with Rockstar on projects like the re-release of L.A. Noire and L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files. This merger is expected to Rockstar’s ongoing development of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is slated for release later this year.

As rumors regarding a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption continue to swirl, another beloved Rockstar game may also be gearing up for a long-awaited return. Rockstar may be known for creating gritty stories filled with criminals navigating the seedy underbelly of society, but the studio hasn't stuck to that mold for all its projects. In fact, one of its most underrated cult classics has comparatively little violence in it given that the bulk of the narrative takes place within the grounds of an especially strict school.

Rockstar Gamesis known for including social commentary in many of its games which can sometimes lead to some pretty dark moments. With many of its games being third-person shooters like the Max Payne series or Red Dead Redemption, violence is an inevitable part of both the gameplay and the story. Even in games with a wackier tone like Grand Theft Auto or Bully, Rockstar still touches on darker subjects that can make players uncomfortable.

While Rockstar Games' very own subscription service GTA+ may not have the wide variety of games afforded by the likes of Xbox Game and PlayStation Plus, it's still quietly chugging on as evidenced by a new report that it may be coming to even more platforms. The plan provides subscribers with access to a range of the developer's most beloved games while also providing some additional benefits for those who spend plenty of time in Grand Theft Auto Online. If reports are to be believed, it could soon do all of this on the go.

Fans are voicing their concerns about Grand Theft Auto 6, and it's got nothing to do with its characters or story. The next installment in Rockstar's juggernaut crime series has been highly anticipated, with the last game, Grand Theft Auto 5, being released over a decade ago in September 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, with various re-releases on other generations since.

Rockstar's acclaimed 2010 Western title, Red Dead Redemption, has been added to the GTA+ subscription. The title received a port last year for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, following the PS3 version being pulled from the PlayStation Plus subscription catalog.

A new partner listing for Rockstar Games could bode well for Grand Theft Auto fans on PlayStation 5. Rockstar's acclaimed open-world crime titles are some of the biggest in gaming, and this new listing could suggest that Sony is planning to revisit some of its older entries.

A new report could indicate that Grand Theft Auto 6's release date could be earlier than most had previously assumed. The game's first trailer gave players an insight into the highly anticipated crime title's main story and setting and announced a release window of "2025". While this release window was vague, it gave Rockstar an entire year to work with, rather than a set date to adhere to and risk having to announce any delays.

Since Rockstar Games was established as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive in December 1998, the studio has released several acclaimed titles, most notably the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series. Despite this, the company has worked on several titles that have gone on to be either officially canceled or simply never completed.
