As of the release of this trailer, the official side still had not given more details on the fidelity of the Vice City setting, the dual-protagonist setup or the plans for the online mode.

The trailer did not reveal much new content, and its main purpose is to sustain players' anticipation rather than provide new information.

There is only about one month left until the official release of "GTA VI."

"GTA V" surpassed 1 billion dollars in sales within three days of launch.

Historically, Rockstar also adopted a similar strategy for "GTA V": the final trailer before launch did not show new gameplay but focused on characters and the city's atmosphere.

In 2013, GTA V advanced dynamic mission systems and multi-protagonist switching narrative; in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 raised the density of environmental interaction and the complexity of NPC behavior.

Rockstar continuously rolls out heists, racing modes and a property system for GTA Online.

The industry is broadly waiting for the release of GTA VI and a new title in the Zelda series.

GTA V's online mode (GTA Online) has continued operating for more than ten years and still has a large number of active players.

GTA Online adopts the games-as-a-service (GaaS) model, extending the product life cycle through continuous content updates, seasonal events and in-game purchases.

Phil Hooker's statement is not only optimism at the technical level, but also a necessary signal at the business strategy level.

Rockstar technology director Phil Hooker said the engine, toolchain and talent pipeline the team built for "GTA VI" will enable future projects to move forward faster.

Phil Hooker's exact words were: "The engine, tools and team we built on this project will allow us to complete subsequent work more efficiently."

The development of "GTA VI" involved a major upgrade to the RAGE engine, including a reconstruction of the lighting system, streaming loading, and the cross-platform rendering pipeline.

The RAGE engine is a proprietary game engine independently developed and continuously iterated by Rockstar Games since 2006, and was first applied on a large scale in "GTA IV."

"GTA Online" is an early benchmark of the games-as-a-service model, and since its launch in 2013 it has generated sustained revenue for Rockstar far exceeding single-player sales through continuously updated online modes and a virtual currency system.

Bloomberg's report pointed out that during "GTA VI," Rockstar integrated the resources of multiple global studios and adjusted its internal management structure to reduce internal friction.

ShinyHunters had directed attacks at game developer Rockstar Games.

GTA 2 (Grand Theft Auto 2) is a top-down open-world game released by Rockstar Games in 1999.

In 2018, Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser mentioned in an interview that the development team for Red Dead Redemption 2 had worked 100 hours per week for several consecutive weeks.
