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 the fully-3D GTA III on the PlayStation 2. Successive titles over the following...

We here at HotHardware are very much like the many people who have spent hundreds of hours playing Grand theft Auto V.

Most of Rockstar Games is probably hard at work on GTA 6 right now, but the part that isn't is still working to keep GTA Online running.

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 protagonists like GTA V, and for the first time since

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. Veterans of the sandbox crime simulator will already be grimacing at the idea...

The popular Grand Theft Auto franchise has pushed the envelope and had a massive impact on the open-world genre in the last 26 years, since its release. Not only becuase of its edgy, risque content, but visually as well. Of course, it hasn't always been smooth sailing, but most games in the series looked great and...

Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most profitable entertainment franchises in the history of games. It came along as a return to form after what many fans would argue was a misstep with the more gritty and realistic GTA 4.

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 audiences with its mix of macro-scale simulation and micro-scale detail. GTA V and...

It's been a decade since the last Max Payne game came out (Max Payne 3), but the franchise that put bullet-time gameplay on the map hasn't been forgotten.

It's been around eight and a half years since the last major installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, the longest gap ever in a franchise that spans seven main titles.

I have no personal frame of reference for this opinion, but I imagine being a drug runner for the Mexican cartel (or any cartel) is loads more fun in a video game setting than in real life. The latter pays more I'm sure, but the stress, risk to life and limb, and persistent threat of jail time have me convinced to...
