Rockstar has already officially announced to us in recent months that GTA 6 is in the development process, and now we receive the news that the game will not come to us too soon, and is at least two years away before it will see the light of day.
This was reported in a report on the company that was released on behalf of the Bloomberg website.
New details about GTA 6
Let's start with the subject for which you entered: the report states that, similar to GTA V, where the players played several characters at the same time (Michael, Trevor and Franklin), the sixth game will be the first to contain a female protagonist alongside the male character, and the plot of the game will focus on a pair of criminals in the style of "Bonnie and Clyde" , among which the players will be able to switch with the press of a button. According to the report, the game will return the players to Vice City, which will resemble a modern version of Miami, with a broad emphasis on the Latino population.
It was also reported that many employees complained to Rockstar about the long development time it takes for the company to release GTA 6, which in practice has been in one form or another of development since 2014. Currently, there is no exact forecast for GTA 6, and it will not be released within the next two years. This means that you can only start developing expectations from 2024.

Big changes in the structure of Rockstar
The report mainly deals with the entire organizational culture of Rockstar and the claims made about the crunch processes of the developers in the company. For those who are not familiar with the term, it is a familiar nickname in the industry that refers to the final stages of development, which in most cases require the development team to work many hours in a short period of time in order to complete The
report referred to Rockstar's crunch in development of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, where developers were reported to have worked more than 100 hours a week for a long period before the game was released.
It was also reported that the entire corporate culture of Rockstar is based on a team that often drinks while working and even spends time in strip clubs at the end of the day.
Similar claims have been heard in the past about Blizzard, which has been described as a "college fraternity house", but unlike Rockstar Blizzard employees and executives have been accused of sexual harassment.
At least according to the report, it seems that this is not the case. It was also noted that after the complaints from the employees were heard, Rockstar is trying to "reinvent themselves" and become a much more inclusive and progressive place to work. This claim is also valid for the content that Rockstar will offer in the future in its games.

Some of the changes also include new and more flexible working hours that will allow the developers to work comfortably on the projects without pressure and the need for a crunch, and the reduction of the gender pay gap between the employees in the company - and the hiring of supervisors who will be responsible for ensuring that the decisions are carried out as decided.
Rockstar announced in recent weeks that it is abandoning the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 in favor of continuing to develop content for the online mode of GTA and the development of the sixth title, and the player community should not wait for large and significant updates for the game.
Let's just hope that these two years pass quickly, and we get the game soon.
Or at least an idea of the expected launch date.
