The update addresses the highly anticipated next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise
Rockstar Games' upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 is anticipated to launch in 2026 and is being positioned as a landmark entry that could surpass all previous installments in the long-running open-world crime franchise. The sequel follows 2013's record-breaking Grand Theft Auto 5, which has sold over 190 million copies and continues to generate substantial revenue through its online component.
Rockstar's co-studio head has defended a refuelling mechanic in Grand Theft Auto 6, stating that the roughly ten-second animation represents a realistic pace for filling a vehicle's tank. The comment appears to address player pushback regarding the inclusion of mundane upkeep activities in the open-world sequel.
