TL;DR
GTA 6 is on the horizon and Rockstar’s biggest lesson comes from when they shook things up with GTA IV. Back in 2008 they dropped the bright, cartoon-ish style of previous games in favor of a darker, more realistic New York–inspired world, muted color palette and grittier driving mechanics—and it paid off big time.
This retrospective digs into what made GTA IV a risk that turned into a triumph and highlights the details Rockstar should revisit—like tone, atmosphere and gameplay tweaks—to give GTA 6 its own bold identity when it lands around 2026.
