As the gaming world anticipates the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, excitement is building not only for the game itself but also for what Rockstar Games might be planning next. With GTA 6 expected to set new standards in open-world gaming, fans are already speculating about the future of the franchise—and Rockstar's broader roadmap. Here are some of the most popular and compelling theories about what could come after GTA 6 Money.

1. GTA Online 2: A Next-Gen Persistent World

One of the strongest theories is that GTA 6 will launch alongside a completely overhauled version of GTA Online. Often referred to by fans as "GTA Online 2," this would build upon the original’s massive success, offering a persistent, evolving online world powered by next-gen hardware. Players speculate that it could feature cross-city travel, larger multiplayer lobbies, and live-service world events. If true, this would make GTA Online 2 not just a mode, but a core experience that evolves independently for years to come.

2. A Return to Red Dead

Another theory is that Rockstar may return to the Red Dead Redemption universe following GTA 6. With Red Dead Redemption 2 earning critical acclaim and maintaining a loyal fanbase, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Rockstar explore a third installment. Some fans believe we could see a Red Dead Redemption 3 as a prequel set during the height of the Wild West, possibly focusing on Dutch van der Linde or a young John Marston before the events of RDR1.

3. New IP – Rockstar’s Next Frontier

A bold theory gaining traction is that Rockstar may be preparing to launch an entirely new intellectual property after GTA 6. Rumors point to a sci-fi or cyberpunk-themed open-world game that breaks away from their usual gritty realism. Rockstar has long been known for pushing boundaries, and launching a new franchise would give them a chance to showcase fresh ideas and explore genres they haven’t touched before.

4. Remakes and Reimaginings

With the success of remakes in the industry, many believe Rockstar might revisit older titles in its library. A fully modernized remake of Bully, Midnight Club, or even a Max Payne reimagining could be in the pipeline. These cult classics still have strong nostalgic value and a new generation of players who’ve never experienced them.

5. Expanding into VR or Mobile AAA

As technology advances, some fans speculate that Rockstar may dip into virtual reality or AAA mobile gaming. While this is a long shot, the company has already experimented with VR ports in the past. A GTA-style VR experience—or a trimmed-down but high-quality mobile open-world title—could be Rockstar’s way of expanding into new platforms while maintaining their reputation for quality.

Conclusion

While GTA 6 Items hasn’t even been released yet, the possibilities for what comes next are endless. Whether it’s a sequel to another beloved franchise, a bold new IP, or an ambitious expansion of GTA Online, one thing’s for sure—Rockstar Games isn’t done redefining the gaming landscape. Fans can only wait and theorize, but the future looks anything but boring.
