We are very excited to let you know now that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

Thank you,

The core development studio is literally the best in the world.

Every time they release a game it is so far ahead of everyone else in its commitment to a living open world that it moves the entire industry forward by leaps and bounds.

And yet I haven't finished any GTA part after Vice City. After the initial 'wow look at all this new shiny stuff'-rush wears off Rockstar games just bore me out of my mind. Same for RDR2. Yes, it is a technological masterpiece with an incredible attention to detail (although it took them years to get the map and UI working properly on 5120*1440). But how ever much I tried to like it, for me in the end the quests, gameplay and character handling feel tedious and just.. not fun.

Not all things are for all people. But it is objectively true that no studio in the world makes open world games at the same bar as Rockstar, whether or not any given player vibes with the underlying game.
