So I think they had that in their favor.” But not everyone knows what it is about “ GTA 6 ” that will take up pop culture’s collective attention (and money), and those who do are very likely already off in the massive echo chamber that has been waiting for the game for 13 years.

“There is a narrative to the game and objectives, but you can also just live in that world. You don’t have to do that stuff.

I can have a relationship with somebody. It’s this immersive alternate universe that you can actually participate in in whatever way that you choose.” Strauss Zelnick, the head of Rockstar Games parent company Take-Tw
