Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is one of the most popular video game franchises, capturing the hearts and minds of gamers worldwide since its inception in 1998.

There’s still no release date for the game itself.
Although there’s no official release date for the game itself yet, the mere mention of a new Grand Theft Auto title has set the gaming community abuzz. The previous instalment, Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, remains the second best-selling video game of all time, with a staggering 185 million copies sold. Rockstar Games is undoubtedly hoping to replicate this incredible success with GTA VI.
Grand Theft Auto 5 made its debut on September 17, 2013, and it has found its way into the hands of more than 185 million gamers since then. Rockstar has brought it back in various versions on different gaming platforms over the years. The latest incarnation is called GTA 5 Expanded and Enhanced.
