GTA 6 Rumors – Rockstar Games Posted Job Ads Hinting To A Next-Gen GTA 6

Once again, GTA 6 is in the news. New GTA 6 rumors have been circulating on forums since Rockstar Games, the studio behind the franchise, posted several job ads hinting to the future Grand Theft Auto title which could be next-gen.

According to the job ads that Rockstar Games posted on the Internet, the games studio is looking for an artist with experience in designing transportation models, “including but not limited to Cars, Trucks and Vans, Motorbikes, Helicopters, Planes, Military, and Boats.” However, Rockstar mentioned that the models should not be carbon copies of real-life vehicles, but they have to retain the essence and the design feel of real-world references.

In short, everything Rockstar Games demands in its new job ads hints to a Grand Theft Auto title. In GTA games, we also have fictive cars but which look pretty much like real-life cars. With that in mind, the job ads might indeed refer to GTA 6. But wait, there’s more!

Job Ads Posted by Rockstar Games Hint To a Next-Gen GTA 6

In addition to all that we’ve already mentioned above, the job ads Rockstar Games posted in their search for an experienced artist also indicate that the future employee should conduct “the development of new approaches and workflows to facial tracking, facial animation, facial recognition, improving tools/pipelines currently in place.

Also, the ads mention that the future artist must also work on the creation of “next-generation worlds for some exciting upcoming projects.” That could mean the next Grand Theft Auto title, GTA 6 would be next-gen, so, accordingly, it would roll out for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett.

If that is indeed correct, then we would have to wait until the next-generation video game consoles roll out to see GTA 6 launch. Accordingly, GTA 6 would come out somewhen between 2020 and 2021 since some rumors reported that both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett would also launch in that period.

GTA 5 Surpassed Fallout 76 In 2018, Ending Another Excellent Year

Fallout 76 was one of the most sought-after games of the year, but, unfortunately for Bethesda, it was a disaster regarding sales. On the other hand, the famous GTA 5, a game released by Rockstar Games in 2013, sold more copies in 2018 than Fallout 76.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a popular title among gamers, and since 2013 it has been selling better than the majority of the games released between 3013 and 2018. And that’s a significant achievement for Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, the two companies behind the title, which are now reportedly working on GTA 6.

GTA 5 Surpassed Fallout 76 In 2018, Ending Another Excellent Year

As reported by the market research firm The NPD Group, in November, Bethesda’s title, Fallout 76, was only the fourth best-selling game of that month. In November, Battlefield 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Red Dead Redemption 2, sold better than Fallout 76. However, throughout the year, GTA 5 sold more copies than Fallout 76.

GTA 5 has been in the news many times lately, in particular, thanks to its outstanding sales in comparison with other games. On the other hand, Fallout 76, which has been launched recently, though, did not have a good start compared to other releases this year and even with Grand Theft Auto 5.

GTA 6 Will Be The Next Installment In The Famous Series

Reportedly, Rockstar Games and Take-Tow Interactive are already working on the next release, Grand Theft Auto 6. According to rumors, GTA 6 would come out by 2022. Also, some recent GTA 6 leaks indicated that the sequel would come back to Vice City and would feature a female main character for the first time in the history of the franchise.

According to other rumors, Grand Theft Auto 6 would actually boast all the previous cities in the GTA series, or at least it would come out with two maps.

In the meantime, Rockstar Games celebrates another excellent year for GTA 5 which succeeded to sell more copies than Fallout 76, one of the most sought-after of 2018.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Surpassed 17 Million Copies Sold In Its First Week

Take Two has announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 surpassed 17 million copies distributed worldwide. That means that the recently released title of the famous franchise, created by Rockstar Games and launched for PS4 and Xbox One, is a great success.

It was clear that Red Dead Redemption 2 was going to be a success as it was one of the most sought-after and promising video games of the year and its sales figures confirm that. Take Two released the news to its investors announcing that Red Dead Redemption 2 has already surpassed 17 million units distributed worldwide.

That is a significant milestone considering that the title developed by Rockstar Games has only been on the market for two weeks.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Surpassed 17 Million Copies Sold In Its First Week

These figures are significant since they suppose that Red Dead Redemption 2 has managed to sell in only eight days in the market more than the first Red Dead Redemption in 8 years. One more sample of how much Rockstar Games has grown as a global brand and the excellent work of the company in developing this title for PS4 and Xbox One.

Also, the 17 million copies distributed of Red Dead Redemption 2 these days also make the title the world’s largest launch of generalized entertainment as it has surpassed the $725 million raised in its first weekend on the market.

But if you want to understand the keys to the success of this adventure better, you should know that Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in an open world, in Wild West, and follows a story that’s chronologically before the events in the first title of the series. In addition to all that, you should also remember that a Red Dead Redemption Online variant is in the works, while a PC version might also come out but we don’t have an approximative date on that.
