The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is packed with plenty of small details, but there's one thing in particular that helps explain the series as a whole. Grand Theft Auto as a franchise has always been somewhat unlike anything else out there, despite the slew of imitators that it's inspired. With a long history of pushing the boundaries of open-world gameplay and public outcry alike, developer Rockstar Games knows how to spin a series that has no trouble attracting attention at every turn.
The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been an especially long one, with over a decade passing since the initial release of Grand Theft Auto 5. Although several ports of GTA 5 and continuing updates for Grand Theft Auto Online have kept options on the market, it's no surprise that the official GTA 6 announcement was met with a ravenous reception. It hasn't taken long for fans to scour the 90 seconds of material for clues about GTA 6 features, characters, and connections to prior games, but one of the most interesting insights hasn't been one of the main focuses of attention.
