As long as they can continue milking GTA Online there won't be a GTA 6, and if there will be a GTA 6 it most likely will be online-first.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
This comment is a little silly imo. There already is a GTA6. It's been leaked in a playable form and we already know some of the storyline. The marketing machine has already started ramping up.
And 6 is obviously gonna have its own Online. And as somebody who was very active in the GTA Online space until a few months ago, they're hitting the limit on what they can cram into this decade old game without it just crumbling under its own weight. Like, genuinely, the engine is struggling.
GTA 6 is going to be a shitshow. Everything from Rockstar/Take-Two over the last couple years is screaming this.
GTA as a service with monthly subscriptions to every single thing you can think of
GTA+ subscription required to unlock a bigger wallet and carry more than 1000$
I think the singleplayer, aka the important bit, is going to be good. Leaks looked pretty promising. Probably not going to be as revolutionary as people expect after 10+ years of hype and speculation, but still probably a top tier video game surpassing their previous titles in many aspects. Online is probably going to be biggest shitshow of all time, though. Microtransactions, FOMO, subscriptions, battle passes, the works. Every bad thing about games as a service packed into one, with the additional bonus being that Rockstar can't program a multiplayer to save their lives, so it's going to be peer 2 peer, with the shitties netcode and matchmaking possible and absolutely zero protection from hackers. You know, like their last two multiplayers.
Rockstar Games ALWAYS makes the greatest online shitshow IMO.
If any game dev wants to know how to make a good multiplayer, just do the opposite of Rockstar lmao
