While "GTA 6" has yet to be officially announced, recent job postings from developer Rockstar suggest that the next installment in the franchise may be closer to release than expected.

With this year marking eight years since the first "GTA V" was released on the PS3 and Xbox 360, there are certainly calls for a next-generation GTA game for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Dualshockers discovered that Rockstar is currently looking for a "Cinematic Gameplay Capture Artist." In layman's terms, this means someone who will be responsible for recording in-game footage for trailers.

Of course, one cannot capture gameplay footage without first having a game to play. So this job posting may inevitably suggest that the development of "GTA 6" has made significant progress and is nearing the stage where we will see actual gameplay footage in an official announcement. However, this is mere speculation at this point.

Little is known about GTA 6, but the most popular theory is that the Miami inspired Vice City, which first appeared in the PS2 game of the same name, will return.

But don't get too excited. Leaker Yan2295 tweeted earlier this year that GTA 6 "won't be coming soon," which is consistent with information reported by gaming journalist Jason Schreier in 2020 that the next GTA is still "a ways off."

Last year, at Sony's PS5 showcase in June, Rockstar announced that an enhanced version of GTA V for PS5 and Xbox Series X would be released sometime in 2021. Therefore, it is possible that this recruitment is to support the release of this next-generation port.

In any case, the job ad suggests that Rockstar is strengthening its marketing department. This would mean that there will be some sort of announcement in the near future. Fingers crossed that it is a confirmation of the imminent release of "GTA 6".

Of course, playing a massive game like "GTA 6" requires powerful hardware.
