It’s fair to say that GTA games are now taking longer to produce.
GTA III and GTA Vice City were split by just a year, and San Andreas came out two years later.
By contrast, GTA V came out five years after GTA IV.
And now we’re in 2023, still waiting for GTA 6 10 years on.
There’s no exact word on when GTA 6 will arrive, but fans are hopeful for a 2024 launch.
In any case, there are lots of ways to order Grand Theft Auto games, so here are some of the key lists you need.
