GTA 6 is eagerly awaited by fans
What do we know about the game so far? Not very much. In February 2022, Rockstar Games officially talked about GTA 6 for the first time. However, fans cling to every detail they can find about the game.
For example, a hint was found in the quarterly report in May 2023 stating that “multiple groundbreaking titles” are set to be released next year. Of course, many immediately assumed this meant a new title in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Subsequently, the stock price of Take-Two surged from $125.26 to $139.90.
In September, there was a leak with 49 seconds of gameplay, which has since been deleted. It showed a seamless switch between the two protagonists. The leaker pointed out that the graphics were already great, despite GTA 6 still being in its alpha stage.
Back in September 2022, there was a hacker attack that seized data and information about GTA 6, including video clips that have since been deleted. Additionally, chat posts related to the previous editions of the game were found, which were quite surprising:
Are you very excited for GTA 6 or are you afraid that the game might not live up to the hype?
