We've already reported on the idea that Rockstar's next magnum opus will feature cutting-edge graphics, but we didn't have many details at that time. Now, we know a bit more: GTA VI will definitely feature ray-traced global illumination as...

It's a pretty solid bet that GTA VI is not coming to PC on release, but what about later? Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has said anything on the topic. We could infer from history that the game will hit PC a year or more after the console...

Let's talk about Grand Theft Auto for a bit. Despite only having five mainline games in the series since the breakout hit Grand Theft Auto III moved millions of PlayStation 2s in 2001, the "GTA" franchise has continued to be one of the...

Did you know that by subscribing to Netflix you get access to a library of free games? It's right there on your phone in the Netflix mobile app. Apparently very few people take advantage of this, which is kind of a bummer because there's a...

Grand Theft Auto is absolutely not a series for children. While the earliest games had a cartoony style and relatively little objectionable content besides the nominative car theft, the games became surprisingly realistic, starting with...

Remember when Netflix was a DVD-by-mail subscription service? It recently shipped its last DVD after successfully pivoting into a streaming juggernaut, and for its next trick, Netflix has set its sights set on getting into gaming in a big...

We here at HotHardware are very much like the many people who have spent hundreds of hours playing Grand theft Auto V. We could write entire articles about the good, the bad and the ugly qualities of this legendary game franchise, but one...

Rockstar has said basically nothing about the next Grand Theft Auto game beyond that it's being worked on. Despite that, we know a little bit about the game, partially thanks to the massive leak last year. It's going to be set in and around Vice City, it's going to have multiple playable...

If you're still playing GTA Online, you'd better be extra careful before you pull out that Oppressor MKII and start griefing noobs. It turns out that there's a bug right now that is removing the "insured" flag from player-owned vehicles...

What's the biggest game franchise in the world? If you said "Grand Theft Auto," you're wrong, actually - it's Pokémon. "GTA" is certainly the biggest in some ways, though, like its development budgets. It's been ten years since GTA V...

Just in case you aren't aware dear reader, Grand Theft Auto is kind of a cultural phenomenon. The fifth game, particularly its internet component (known simply as "GTA Online"), is by some measures the most successful video game of all...

Rockstar Games is a studio that invokes feelings of enjoyment and feelings of ire, the latter primarily for opponents of the studio's works, often parents. That's thanks to the studio's reputation as the creator and distributor of games...

Besides offering up chaotic open-world action, one thing that Rockstar's games have done ever since Grand Theft Auto III is push the envelope in terms of technology. This is somewhat debatable up to Grand Theft Auto IV, which stunned...

Grand Theft Auto V is notable for all kinds of reasons. It's the most expensive video game ever made, and also one of the very most successful, by any measure. It sold so well that Rockstar kept the online service for the 7th-generation...
