GTA 5 was one of the most hyped games of its time, as it took fans on a whole new adventure. It was a massive jump from its prequel, with a better storyline, graphics, characters, visuals, and more. Fans were more than happy about the title’s release, as they had never received something great. Plus, some of them even considered it far ahead of time, as the game topped the charts for years. 

However, with time, the game lost its mark as Rockstar posted lesser revenue. Everything in this world has an expiration date, and it was time for the franchise to add a new one. Still, Rockstar kept GTA 6 in rumors, with no announcements for the same. And now, after nine years of release, it looks like the franchise needs to address the issue, as GTA 5’s numbers sound like trouble.
