Rockstar Games has been around for many years, formed in 1998. Their flagship brand, Grand Theft Auto was conceived in 1995 by DMA Design – which was acquired 2 times before Take Two Interactive completely owns it. By the time Take Two Interactive renamed DMA Design as Rockstar North, DMA Design had already released two Grand Theft Auto games. The first game under the Rockstar North label, Grand Theft Auto III was released and went on to sell 14.5 Million copies worldwide by March 2008. Rockstar North followed up with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and sold 17.5 Million copies worldwide by March 2008. Rockstar North then followed up with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and sold 27.5 Million copies by 2011. Rockstar North then followed up with Grand Theft Auto IV and sold over 20 Million copies worldwide by 2011. Ultimately, Rockstar North released Grand Theft Auto V, and has been released for two generations of consoles. Originally, Grand Theft Auto V was released for PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. GTAV was then released for PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. And now, it has been released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. To date, Grand Theft Auto V has sold 100 Million copies by 2018.
On November 8, 2023 – Rockstar Games took to their website to announce that December 2023 is the company’s 25th anniversary. Rockstar Games then took the moment to announce that they’d reveal the next Grand Theft Auto game. Rockstar Games released the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer after some leaks was released – supposedly from Rockstar’s employee’s son. Frustrated, Rockstar Games let it out….
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X in 2025.
