According to Rockstar, those who have previously played GTA 5 on their PlayStation 4 or Xbox One consoles can pick up right where they left off by transferring saves with a one-time migration option. The announcement was made alongside confirmation from the publisher that it was working on the next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series, dubbed GTA 6. While the final title has not yet been revealed, Rockstar has stated that active development for the next game is “well underway.”
