GTA 6’s Official Name in a Job Listing?
In the world of Grand Theft Auto, even the smallest detail can become a major event. The latest spark for community speculation came from an unlikely source: a Rockstar Games job listing. For a brief moment, the listing for a Lead Software Engineer referred to the upcoming title as “Grand Theft Auto 6” instead of the official “Grand Theft Auto VI” Roman numeral designation that has been used in all marketing to date.
The listing, which has since been edited to remove the specific naming, described the candidate’s role in supporting “the largest game launch in history” alongside the continued growth of GTA Online. The use of the Arabic numeral “6” instead of “VI” was immediately spotted by eagle-eyed fans, deviating from the studio’s consistent branding.
This minor change has ignited discussion within the community. Some believe it could signal a subtle shift in the game’s official branding to make it more accessible or easily searchable. Others speculate it may have simply been an error by a member of the HR or recruiting team who was not strictly adhering to the marketing department’s style guide.
The listing was quickly corrected, reverting to the standard formal tone and removing the direct mention, which only served to amplify the intrigue. While the naming convention is likely a minor detail in the grand scheme of the game’s development, it provided a rare moment of activity from Rockstar’s typically silent front, fueling the ever-growing anticipation for any shred of new information.
