Rockstar says its next game after Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t take another eight years to make

VGC reports that Bloomberg spoke with Rockstar studio heads Phil Hooker and Aaron Garbut about what comes after Grand Theft Auto 6. They said the foundations built for GTA 6, including the engine, development tools, and production team, should let Rockstar move faster on its next project rather than rebuild everything again.

For fans, the important part is the restraint: this is not a release window for Red Dead, GTA, or anything else. It is a signal that GTA 6 may leave Rockstar with a reusable base, potentially making the next wait less daunting than the gap since Red Dead Redemption 2.
