Rockstar Explains Why Grand Theft Auto Remains an American-Centric Franchise
TL;DR Summary
Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser explained that the GTA series focuses on American cities because of the country's inherent Americana and larger-than-life characters, which are central to the game's satirical portrayal of society. The franchise has historically used American settings like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, and the upcoming GTA VI is delayed until 2026, launching on new consoles and later on PC.
