'Grand Theft Auto 6' News, Latest Update, Release Date: Rockstar Games ’GTA 6’ Content Consistent With Founders’ Vision?

"Grand Theft Auto 6" is expected to continue financial uptrend for Take Two Interactive as "GTA 6" carries on the vision of Rockstar Games co-founders, brothers Sam and Dan Houser. While market numbers may easily be a goal, Dan Houser has a specific vision for the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise.

RollingStone wrote a feature on "Grand Theft Auto 3" when the "GTA" mainline instalment hit its 15th-year anniversary. As the media outlet pointed out, "Grand Theft Auto 3" marked a significant turning point for both the franchise and Rockstar Games.

"Grand Theft Auto 3" was released in 2001. As RollingStone highlighted, with this "GTA" mainline title Rockstar Games hit its stride. "GTA 3" gave franchise fans a well-crafted cohesive experience.

The media outlet proposes that despite the race in the gaming industry to heighten cinematic and gameplay experience and technology, the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise maintains success with the "GTA 3" template.

And so it comes as no surprise that Take Two Interactive continues on a winning financial streak with the "Grand Theft Auto" line. One thing the Rockstar Games franchise seems to have perfected is finding winning strategy and sticking with it.

In the same way that the Rockstar series builds on the "Grand Theft Auto 3" template, Motley Fool points out that the "GTA" developer will continue strengthening mainline instalments with DLC and mission packs. The media outlet proposes that Rockstar will continue this model of revenue building for future mainline releases.

RollingStone cites an earlier IGN interview with Dan Houser, who revealed that sales was not Rockstar Games' underlying motivation for "Grand Theft Auto" offerings as with the lauded "GTA 3." "Our expectations were that we would make something that was really cool," Dan Houser said.

While recent "Grand Theft Auto 6" theories based on "GTA 5" easter eggs suggest 2021 release, Motley Fool projects 2018 as a likely launch by Rockstar. Cite your favorite "Grand Theft Auto" theory in the discussion section below!
