Fans of theGTAseries have been starved for news onGrand Theft Auto 6for years, seeking out any bit of info they can find on the project. One thorough fan noticed an interesting comment from Take-Two Interactive’s CEO Strauss Zelnick, a comment that may indicate the current development situation ofGTA 6.
The Twitter account GTA 6 NEWS, which recently shared astatement onGTA 6from Franklin’s voice actor, posted the quote as well as the source. In a conference for investment group Goldman Sachs, Zelnick discussed how every Take-Two team has been “working from home, and they have been incredibly productive ever since.” However, the interesting part of the quote deals with the continuation of motion capture.

Zelnick states that Take-Two is “back in the motion capture business” and that they “were not for a while.” He says this could have created a problem and is happy that motion capture is continuing. Zelnick also states that he has “not seen any degradation in quality whatsoever,” a reassurance to investors that the games being developed by Take-Two will not be any worse off due to developers working from home because of COVID-19. With other Take-Two projects likeThe Outer Worldsand its new DLCnot requiring motion capture, it is easy to assume Zelnick is referring toGTA 6.
While Zelnick did not specifically refer toGTA 6in the comment regarding motion capture, many fans will likely infer that this was the game being discussed. When combined witha recent Rockstar employee resume,Grand Theft Auto 6looks to be a fair bit along in its development cycle. When fans get any official news beyond this motion capture comment and resume descriptions is anyone’s guess.Grand Theft Auto 5had its seventh anniversary only a few days ago, yet details on its sequel are still vague.
With arecent leak regarding Rockstar’s next gameindicating that it may not beGrand Theft Auto 6, the project could easily still be years away from an official release. There is no telling what the game will be like when it does finally arrive, as it could be quite different from its predecessor. Whether it will keep the three-protagonist system fromGTA 5is unclear, as is what new features the game could include. With only small scraps of information being discovered by fans every few weeks, it seems like Take-Two and Rockstar fell no urge to talk about the project any time soon.
Some form of official announcement sooner rather than later would be nice though, considering that some fans arewondering ifGTA 6will have a storymode at all. An entirely onlineGTAgame is not out of the realm of possibility given the success ofGTA Online, so it will be interesting to see what exactlyGTA 6is like when it is finally shown to the public.
Grand Theft Auto 6is reportedly in development.
