In a recent interview with GTAVIoclock, former Rockstar Games developer Ben Hinchliffe shared his perspective on the upcoming GTA 6.

Regarding fan reaction, Hinchliffe predicts an overwhelmingly positive response, emphasizing the game's impressive realism. He anticipates significant sales, mirroring the success of previous installments. His excitement is palpable, and he eagerly awaits players' experience with the game.
