What Rockstar told Bloomberg
| Who | What they said | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Phil Hooker | “The engine, the tools and the team we’ve built during this project will allow us to do things more quickly”; “I feel confident that we can build on top of this and go more sideways than upwards to build more compelling content.” | Reported Bloomberg via IGN · VGC · TheGamer · GamesRadar+ |
| Aaron Garbut | “We foundationally changed a lot of stuff on this project.” “But now it’s done, and we’re not going to rip it apart.” | Reported IGN · VGC |
| Bloomberg’s framing | IGN: “Bloomberg compares the release of GTA 6 to GTA 3, in that the first 3D GTA game paved the way for the quickfire release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which launched a year later in 2002.” | Reported IGN |
Titles differ: IGN calls Hooker and Garbut co-heads of development; VGC calls them studio heads.
What it does not say
- Not confirmed No next title, no setting and no year. VGC: “There’s certainly no suggestion, however, that Rockstar’s next game will arrive anywhere near that soon.”
- Not confirmed Red Dead Redemption 3. IGN notes “Rockstar itself hasn’t indicated it has plans to do so.” Former co-founder Dan Houser said a year ago that RDR3 “will probably happen.” (Reported, per IGN). Houser left Rockstar in 2020 and does not speak for it.
- Not confirmed “GTA 7”. Nobody at Rockstar used that name in the coverage we read.

Even if he had the build, Rockstar sat on RDR2 leaks for months and it didn't hurt it one bit.
