Grand Theft Auto 6 is still a year away assuming it doesn’t encounter any delays, but the gaming industry is pinning an absurd amount of hope on it. Less than three months in, 2024 has been a rough year for the games industry, with various studios closing and thousands of layoffs across companies big and small. It’s...

Remember that big Rockstar hack last year? The stuff that made headlines at the time was predictably the material related to GTA VI. Rockstar's next entry in its giga-hit franchise hadn't even been officially confirmed at that time, so the hype was unreal. Well, the hackers got a whole lot more than just GTA VI in...

Regular readers of this site who are gamers are very likely to be primarily PC gamers. That may have muted your enthusiasm for Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto game, GTA VI, as it has been widely reported to skip the PC, at least at launch. Rockstar hasn't said anything of the sort, but the trailer only mentions the...

If you've been using the internet for the last ten years, you've almost assuredly heard about some absurd exploit or other of "Florida Man". These stories are commonplace not because Floridians are insane, but because of Florida laws requiring the public reporting of criminal offenses. That's not to say that Florida...

Rockstar Games has an absolute monster game on its hands, and it surely knows it. With record breaking views on the highly anticipated trailer for GTA 6, gamers were tripping over themselves to get a sneak peek at what's coming (it's amassed over 120 million views in just two days). With months of only scattered...

Rockstar Games wasn't planning to unveil its highly anticipated first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, the next major installment in one of the most popular game franchises of all time, until Tuesday, December 5. Rather than wait, however, Rockstar has released the trailer a day early in response to a now-banned X...

Let's talk about Grand Theft Auto for a bit. Despite only having five mainline games in the series since the breakout hit Grand Theft Auto III moved millions of PlayStation 2s in 2001, the "GTA" franchise has continued to be one of the most important in all of gaming. If you need evidence for that claim, look no...

Grand Theft Auto is absolutely not a series for children. While the earliest games had a cartoony style and relatively little objectionable content besides the nominative car theft, the games became surprisingly realistic, starting with the fully-3D GTA III on the PlayStation 2. Successive titles over the following...

Rockstar Games has finally broken its silence on the "next Grand Theft Auto" game. In a message posted to X (formerly Twitter), the developer confirmed a trailer is coming for what is widely assumed to be Grand Theft Auto VI, the next installment in the long-running franchise and the first major iteration since Grand...

We here at HotHardware are very much like the many people who have spent hundreds of hours playing Grand theft Auto V. We could write entire articles about the good, the bad and the ugly qualities of this legendary game franchise, but one of the biggest and most frequent complaints about the title is with its sense of...

Most of Rockstar Games is probably hard at work on GTA 6 right now, but the part that isn't is still working to keep GTA Online running. Yes, ten years after the original launch of Grand Theft Auto V, GTA Online is still being actively-supported with new content, even if some of Rockstar's changes have been...

Red Dead Redemption, the sequel to Red Dead Revolver on the original Xbox, was a massive hit when it released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010. As a later release for those consoles and the second Rockstar release to use the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), it leveraged the hardware of those systems...

Rockstar has said basically nothing about the next Grand Theft Auto game beyond that it's being worked on. Despite that, we know a little bit about the game, partially thanks to the massive leak last year. It's going to be set in and around Vice City, it's going to have multiple playable protagonists like GTA V, and for the first time since

If you're still playing GTA Online, you'd better be extra careful before you pull out that Oppressor MKII and start griefing noobs. It turns out that there's a bug right now that is removing the "insured" flag from player-owned vehicles. Veterans of the sandbox crime simulator will already be grimacing at the idea...

The popular Grand Theft Auto franchise has pushed the envelope and had a massive impact on the open-world genre in the last 26 years, since its release. Not only becuase of its edgy, risque content, but visually as well. Of course, it hasn't always been smooth sailing, but most games in the series looked great and...

Rockstar Games is a studio that invokes feelings of enjoyment and feelings of ire, the latter primarily for opponents of the studio's works, often parents. That's thanks to the studio's reputation as the creator and distributor of games that often contain sexuality, violence, and swearing. That has drawn them some...

Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most profitable entertainment franchises in the history of games. It came along as a return to form after what many fans would argue was a misstep with the more gritty and realistic GTA 4. Originally released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3—yes, it spans three console...

Besides offering up chaotic open-world action, one thing that Rockstar's games have done ever since Grand Theft Auto III is push the envelope in terms of technology. This is somewhat debatable up to Grand Theft Auto IV, which stunned audiences with its mix of macro-scale simulation and micro-scale detail. GTA V and...

It's been a decade since the last Max Payne game came out (Max Payne 3), but the franchise that put bullet-time gameplay on the map hasn't been forgotten. No, there's not a Max Payne 4 in the works (that we're aware of). However, Remedy Entertainment approached Rockstar Games about doing a remake of the first two...

Did you imagine when Grand Theft Auto V came out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013, that we'd be seeing a fresh retail re-release of it nine years later? Much like The Elder Scrolls Part V: Skyrim—which hails from the same era—GTA V has been an enduring success and is about to get its third...

It's been around eight and a half years since the last major installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, the longest gap ever in a franchise that spans seven main titles. So when is the next one coming? We can't say for sure, but Rockstar Games has not finally confirmed that there will in fact be a Grand Theft Auto 6...

I have no personal frame of reference for this opinion, but I imagine being a drug runner for the Mexican cartel (or any cartel) is loads more fun in a video game setting than in real life. The latter pays more I'm sure, but the stress, risk to life and limb, and persistent threat of jail time have me convinced to...
