Not much else is known about Grand Theft Auto 6, but those who enjoy the single-player stories of the series will have a new experience with a female lead in a fictional version of Miami. As she will be part of a pair of lead characters, GTA 6 may have a similar structure as GTA V with rotating characters.

Rockstar has shown they can deliver stellar gameplay and stories, so we will just have to wait and see how Rockstar shapes the future of the GTA series.
