As we sit and wait patiently for more official news on Grand Theft Auto 6, it's baffling to think we've only had a single trailer back in December 2023.
GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive has repeatedly reassured us that the next chapter of the automotive adventure is definitely coming before the end of 2025.
The problem is, with GTA 6 leaks coming out years before Rockstar Games even officially announced the title, we were arguably fed too well.
Things like a female protagonist and return to Vice City were spoiled ahead of time, while Rockstar even had to drop the trailer early when it leaked from an unknown source.

It sometimes feels like we're being punished thanks to the actions of leakers, but as we head toward GTA 6's (unannounced) release date, some sort of big reveal is surely just around the corner...surely.
With so little to go on, we're lost in a sea of rumors and asking questions about the likes of a potential price tag and whether GTA 6 will be getting a PC release.
We've been tossed a morsel, with GTA 6 apparently going hard on user-created content as part of its multiplayer offering.

If we were over at Epic Games, we'd be keeping our ears close to the ground right now.
The Fortnite overlord has made a big push into creating a much wider world as part of its Fortnite Experiences initiative that kicked off in March 2023.
The release of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) has been praised for ushering in the new era of Fortnite Creative 2.0 which includes everything from LEGO Fortnite to Rocket Racing.
Even though many of you still stick to the standard Battle Royale mode, Fortnite Experiences has hit its brief of offering itself to a much wider demographic.

A new report from Digiday claims that GTA 6 will attempt to replicate the successes of Fortnite and Roblox.
Three anonymous sources suggest that Rockstar is talking to top Fortnite, Roblox, and GTA creators about how to make its online contingent the next big creator platform. The outlet writes: "These experiences would allow creators to modify the game's environment and assets to bring their own intellectual property — and potentially their brand sponsors — into 'GTA’s' virtual sandbox."
It's unclear what would lure user-generated content creators to this evolved version of GTA Online, but typically, UGC creators make money by taking a cut of virtual items being sold or via revenue share programs.
As Digiday points out, GTA V content creators can make some serious money after Rockstar purchased the FiveM role-playing modifier that lets people charge a monthly subscription in exchange for the likes of cosmetics and priority access to RP servers.

When the X account Drama Alert wrote, "RIP Fortnite and Roblox," others remained split on whether GTA 6 will clear the competition.
One skeptic said: "Nah Fortnite will colab with GTA they ain't going anywhere anytime soon."
Another added, "Y’all been saying RIP Fortnite for 5 years now and it’s still here lmao," and a third said, "It's doubtful that they will have a massive hit, as they primarily cater to a younger audience, while GTA remains an R-rated title."
Of course, the adult content of GTA is aimed at a very different audience to the family-friendly world of Roblox. It's not like you can kick blocky prostitutes and hold up a block bank with a pixelated shotgun in Roblox.
