Why GTA Studio Co-Founder Is Avoiding GTA 6--And All Open-World Games

GTA 6 News Brief

A co-founder of the studio behind the GTA series has explained why they’re steering clear of GTA 6 and open-world games in general. The developer discussed their personal reasons for avoiding titles in this genre, offering insight into their current gaming preferences.

The statement comes as the highly anticipated GTA 6 prepares for its upcoming release. While the studio co-founder’s perspective is individual rather than reflective of broader development philosophy, it highlights how even those deeply involved in creating open-world experiences may choose different entertainment for themselves.

For players counting down to launch day, this serves as a reminder that the creative minds behind GTA games have diverse tastes—and that GTA 6’s design reflects deliberate choices rather than inevitable directions for the genre.
