What Do We Know About the Grand Theft Auto VI?

Rockstar Games is infamous for keeping its cards close to its chest and maintaining radio silence while developing new titles. Grand Theft Auto VI is no different. In March 2018, industry insiders reported Rockstar was working on the code-named Project  Americas, which was set in a  reworked Vice City, featuring a playable female protagonist.

Over the years, more unconfirmed details became public knowledge. The included claims that the game would be set in a modern-day Vice City where the map could evolve similarly to Fortnite. Also, the video game media revealed the unnamed title had been in development since 2014 and would feature a pair of protagonists drawing influence from Bonnie and Clyde.

Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series knew something was afoot when Rockstar announced it was no longer providing significant updates to Red Dead Online; it was then that Rockstar confirmed it was working on GTA 6.
