Rockstar hasn't shown "quite the same urgency" to release 'Grand Theft Auto 6'.

The video game company has enjoyed huge success with the money-spinning franchise - but the landscape of the industry has changed over recent years and Rockstar isn't under any real financial pressure to release the much-anticipated game.

Games journalist Jason Schreier told Sky News: "Rockstar had a period in the 2000s and early 2010s, where they released games almost yearly.

"They had a wide distribution of studios across the world, so while a team in Scotland was making 'GTA', San Diego would make 'Red Dead Redemption'."

'Grand Theft Auto' has been a huge success for the publisher, and Rockstar isn't in any rush to release the next game, even though fans are desperate to play it.

Jason also observed that 'Grand Theft Auto' - which is often abbreviated to just 'GTA' - is more successful than some of the best-known franchises in the history of the video game industry, including 'Final Fantasy'.

The industry expert explained: "They've made one of the most successful games of all time. It's outsold entire franchises, even some of gaming's biggest like 'Assassin's Creed' and 'Final Fantasy'."
