Fans have been asking for a new GTA title for a while now. It has been 7years since the release of GTA V. With the launch of PS5, the GTA community thought maybe it is time Rockstar Games released GTA VI.
Fans have been bombarding Rockstar games and the GTA franchise on Twitter since the announcement. They have called out Rockstar Games saying that they are milking GTA V a bit too much now, instead of releasing a new title in the franchise.
