Rockstar rolls credits on GTA 5 as it looks towards GTA 6
Rockstar has rolled credits on GTA 5 and GTA Online on its website as it looks towards the future of the Grand Theft Auto series and ramps up GTA 6 development. While undoubtedly one of the best open-world games around, GTA 5 will be nine years old on September 17 – a long time for any game to run, even if it’s still consistently popping up in the top seller charts. Now, developer Rockstar has posted a thank you to everyone involved in the crime game on its website, following news that Rockstar is prioritising GTA 6 development.
“Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online represent the combined efforts of our global team over many years,” reads the ‘Thank You’ page on the Rockstar Games website. “We want to acknowledge and thank everyone who has contributed to these games, from their original launch in 2013 all the way through to present day.” It certainly feels like a send-off to the long-running crime game, which would line up with many rumours suggesting that an official GTA 6 reveal could be coming as soon as October.
Currently, GTA 5 sits as the second best-selling videogame of all time, with an estimated 169 million copies sold to date – leaving it only behind Minecraft’s 238 million estimated sales. It has continued to thrive with re-releases on modern hardware and the success of its GTA Online mode, which continues to be one of the best multiplayer games going today. In March 2020, Dan Houser – one of the studio’s co-founders alongside brother Sam, and writer or co-writer on every GTA game since GTA: London – left Rockstar Games for pastures new.

Millions of Brits can book Covid boosters from Monday as NHS rolls out fresh jabs
FOUR million Brits can book Covid boosters from Monday as the NHS kicks off the Omicron jabs rollout.

Public top-ups will start on September 12 and invites for over-50s will follow.
Virus cases fell by a quarter last week to the lowest level since May.
But medics fear the winter will be rough as people spend more time indoors and immunity wears off.
The vaccines have been updated for the first time since 2020 in a bid to fend off Omicron and future variants.
Amanda Pritchard, CEO of NHS England, said: “We know that this winter will be challenging, with a likely resurgence in both Covid and flu for the first time ever.
“The best way to protect yourselves and your loved ones is to get the next generation Covid vaccine as well as your annual flu jab.”

The Office for National Statistics said Covid infections dropped 26 per cent last week to a total of 1.07million across the UK.
It is a third of the summer peak, of 3.7m in July, and means just one in every 60 people has the bug.
Kara Steel, stats buff at the ONS, said: “The number of people with Covid-19 in England is now estimated to be under one million for the first time since early June.”
A total of 26m Brits will be offered another booster this autumn.

The new Moderna vaccines, which are made to target Omicron specifically, will offer better protection and slow transmission more effectively.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said: “An autumn booster will top up the immunity of those most vulnerable to Covid ahead of the winter, to help us continue to live with this virus without restrictions.”
