Note that this doesn't necessarily have to be in the name Grand Theft Auto 6 — a full, formal title was not given — but seeing as how Rockstar named the first five mainline games in the series, I'd guess it's a good one.

Whatever it's called, it will be very interesting to see how the tone of the game compares to previous entries in the series: Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser, one of the primary creative forces behind the Grand Theft Auto series, left.
