Building up hype for over 10 years now, GTA VI will be Rockstar's follow up to the wildly successful GTA V released in 2013.
Speculations are up on what will be the contents of the next installment after gameplay leaks went out last year.
Earlier reports suggest that the next game will surround a male and female character a la Bonnie and Clyde. Several hints suggest that the game will take in the same place as Vice City.
Insider reports expect the game to come out in 2025 with a $70 price tag.
Gaming on Netflix
The streaming platform initially launched its gaming initiative in 2021, launching game adaptations of its most popular shows and movies. Netflix even planned to launch its own AAA studio.
Titles include Hextech Mayhem from "Arcane," Stranger Things: 1984, and Spongebob: Get Cooking.
