There is no denying that GTA Online has been the driving force behind Rockstar’s ongoing triumph. So, if GTA 6 intends to introduce a new online element, it must be at least as amazing as, if not better than, the current online game. This alone makes the forthcoming game an incredibly ambitious endeavor and likely explains the prolonged development time. Without a doubt, the game holds tremendous potential to exceed even Minecraft and claim the title of the most expensive game ever.
