As the world patiently waits for more news on the sixth Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games' fans are putting their heads together to brainstorm a potential new franchise. While the storied developer was once known for hosting a diverse range of games, the success of Grand Theft Auto 5, and subsequently Grand Theft Auto Online, has seen its active IPs shrink. While Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge hit in its own right, the failure of its multiplayer mode may have pushed Rockstar into placing all its eggs into GTA's lucrative basket.
Over on Reddit, user RogerRoger63358 asked the community their thoughts on a futuristic Grand Theft Auto, like a spin-off of the core series that embraced sci-fi and cyberpunk tropes.
Players were mixed on the idea but commenter vi______________ offered a compromise of an open-world sci-fi Rockstar Game that exists as its own franchise divorced from Grand Theft Auto, an idea that received plenty of praise from fans. The consensus is that many players want to see Rockstar tackle the sci-fi genre as a separate IP, one that may be inspired by GTA but doesn't take place in the same world.
