How did all the continual noise about GTA 6 start?

It all began in 2013 when Rockstar North’s former president Leslie Benzies spoke up about the next installment. In a four-part conversation during an interview, he stated:

“We don’t know what GTA 6 will be, but we’ve got some ideas. We’ve got about 45 years’ worth of ideas we want to do. We’ll pick the right ones. It comes from the idea first. Where it is going to be set is the first question. That then defines the missions; you’re doing different things in LA than in New York or Miami. The map and story get worked up together, and the story has a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the mission in.”

In February 2022, Rockstar Games confirmed the possibility of GTA 6 by stating:

“Active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway.”

Since then, numerous leaks have suggested aspects of the game’s story, spotlights, locations, maps, and many more. Such enthusiasm has steered users into believing that whatever news comes up on the horizon relating to Rockstar might be about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto itself.
