Gaming
Late last year, and after a fair amount of tumult for developer Rockstar after some fairly out-of-date leaks earlier, the world finally got a glimpse at the long-awaited sequel to GTA V in the aptly titled, GTA VI. The Internet, as you'd expect, went bananas as myriad theories were thrown out there after every microsecond of the trailer was picked at, pulled apart and added into a sleuth pile that would make Sherlock Holmes jealous. But it was just a trailer, and as with all game development, the wait for release now eats away at all of us. Thankfully, however, Rockstar has another title we mentioned earlier, and it's still infinitely playable thanks to all manner of updates since it launched all the way back in 2013, as well as Rockstar's famous in-game cheats, because they're old-school like that. We've compiled every known cheat for the game into one easily digestible article, all of which you can find below. But before you scroll down, why not check out that GTA VI trailer one more time...
