GTA 6 shouldn’t take 12 years to make

Video games are absurdly complicated, and the fact any get made at all is a miracle. That being said, it still shouldn’t take 12 years for one of the biggest triple-A studios in the world to make a sequel.

Grand Theft Auto 5 came out Sept. 17, 2013. I was still doing my A-levels when it launched. Since then I’ve obtained two film degrees, a career in video game journalism, and depression (unrelated to the career). We’ve gone up two console generations, two more GTA 5 launches, and six Skyrim ports. It’s now Dec. 5, 2023, and we’ve just had the first official trailer for GTA 6, due to launch in two years, on a console generation that will then be four to five years old, likely over halfway through their lifecycles.
