The GTA 6 community is hanging on Rockstar Games' every social media post, but after more than a year there's no sign of a second trailer but that could change this month as we covered earlier this week.
With the game tipped to 'save' the video game industry unless returning president Donald Trump proposes changes, there's one project hoping to fill the void.
The cheekily titled 'Grand Taking Ages' has already been met with its fair share of controversy, but it's targeting a July 2025 release on Steam so we're likely to be playing much sooner than we are GTA 6.
Grand Taking Ages 6's developers bill it as "the most anticipated game about making the most anticipated game", but it's less about roaming the streets and committing crimes as its inspiration and more about you "juggling angry fans, corporate chaos, and endless delays".
The game was previously removed from the PlayStation Store, seemingly for using AI images that ape the iconic loading screen art of the GTA series, but like one of Rockstar's protagonists walking out of the hospital good as new, it's coming to Steam.
The developers lopped the 'VI' in numerals off the end, and the developers seem convinced Valve's platform will let them stay longer.
We approached Steam differently by engaging with their team about the concept of our game before officially submitting it, a representative told IGN.
Considering the studio invented a few press accolades from a "parallel universe where the game is already out", we can maybe see why Sony wasn't entirely sure about letting it launch on PlayStation.
Will it give fans something to take their minds off of the real deal? Rockstar's project is likely to be a big focus when parent company Take-Two holds its earnings call at the start of February, but maybe this will help fans find the fun in the developer's silence or just stop them coming up with fresh theories.
In recent months these have included everything from plotting the phases of the moon in GTA Online, as well as a PlayStation event that didn't materialise, analysing social media posts and a mystery YouTube playlist.
