How much do you need to play Grand Theft Auto VI sooner than later? Turns out Rockstar is putting its full focus on working toward getting the must-own title of the decade into everyone’s hands with a reasonable timetable even if it means shelving plans to work on more remastered games like Red Dead Redemption.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming with sacrifices

According to new reports, it’s all about the need to put attention onto a key project like GTA VI instead of rumored plans to work on games like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto IV getting remastered.

According to industry insider Tez2 and corroborated by Kotaku, remastered releases of Red Dead Redemption and GTA 4 were “on the table a few years ago”, but both projects have been put on hold due to issues surrounding GTA: The Trilogy, a compilation of remasters that launched in 2021.

Kotaku has claimed that sources with knowledge of Rockstar’s future projects say that the company will now focus its resources on the production of Grand Theft Auto 6. However, the remasters aren’t completely “out of scope”, and sources say Rockstar could still launch them after GTA 6. (NME)
