   Bloomberg report: GTA 6 was once planned to be bigger and could have shipped years sooner

   A Bloomberg report says that when a small Rockstar team went to Miami in 2015 to plan GTA 6, the game was envisioned to span large swaths of North and South America under the codename Project Americas, before the scope was pared down to Miami and its surroundings. The report also says Rockstar originally planned to develop GTA 6 alongside Red Dead Redemption II to bring it to market sooner, but as that game grew it needed more staff to ship in 2018, delaying GTA 6 by several years. Rockstar denied the rumor that GTA 6 cost $1.5 billion to develop but gave no specifics on the actual cost.

   Rockstar debated how realistic to make GTA 6, at one point weighing whether players would need to grab a case of beer from a liquor store fridge and bring it to the counter, or visit a supermarket for sandwich ingredients.
