Explained simply
Grand Theft Auto is a series of open-world action games made by Rockstar Games, where players explore fictional cities and follow stories about crime and everyday life. Grand Theft Auto 6 is the next main game in the series, set in a fictional version of Florida and centred on two characters, Lucia and Jason.
A large game like this takes years of work from teams including artists, programmers, writers, designers and testers. Rockstar is owned by Take-Two Interactive, a major games company; the decisions of large publishers can affect how games are made and the people who work on them.
