DualShockers Staff writes, "Yesterday, the internet exploded with the news of the announcement of will undoubtedly be nothing but a teaser trailer for Grand Theft Auto V. Even here at the site the majority of us let out one giant synchronized “f*ck yeah!” as soon as we saw the post go up. The image features the traditional GTA font we’ve come to know and love, but for the first time ever it also has an over-stylzed roman numeral for 5 — which is very similar to what you would find on American cash. With only that to go on, we took the time to make a couple of predictions as to what we think is going to take place in Rockstar’s next entry for the franchise. Check out our team’s thoughts below as well as a trip down Grand Theft Auto box art memory lane."
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
There is no boxart or mention of GTA: London 1969. Also, the green kinda looks militaryish like american soldiers helmets.
I really hope that we're all wrong, and Rockstar surprises us bigtime with something completely wacky.
Guess what! i think i'm the only one who found out confirmation based on the Five and V logo where itll take place... But why? Its the home of where saints row franchise being built.
Gta V : Chicago, aka abraham lincolns senators residential state.
Its just my guess im sure if its during that time era it would be interesting if you can re-live the moments of lincolns assasination. Even possibly stop the assasination.
A rich casino owner getting taken down a notch and then has to make back up to the top?
I'm curious as to why "FIVE" is written across it. I think it has something to do with what's going to be in the game. 5 different unique areas, 5 playable characters? Just some food for thought.
