With moreGrand Theft Auto 6details continuing to emerge, popular livestreaming service Kick already has a category for the follow-up to Rockstar Games' most successful title. Ignoring the groundbreakingGrand Theft Auto 6leaks that have happened, little is known about the next installment in the franchise, but that hasn’t stopped Kick from reserving a spot for the game ahead of time.Rockstar Games has made efforts toremove theGrand Theft Auto 6leaksthat happened in 2022 that included footage of two playable characters, but rumors about the game persist. Although Rockstar Games has confirmed that it’s working on the nextGrand Theft Autoseries, it has failed to release footage of its own, resulting in speculation about when the game may be released - something that may have inspired this change on Kick. The new streaming service called Kick was created in response to Twitch banning gambling content, which is permitted on the former with backing from popular Twitch streamer Trainwrecks.RELATED:Take-Two CEO Discusses GTA 6, Says Rockstar Wants ‘Nothing Short of Perfection’The Kick Twitter account recently shared an image of the website’s recommended games to watch which included the likes ofApex Legends,Call of Duty: Warzone 2, andFortnite. Between two of these games thatKick streamersare already playing is a card forGrand Theft Auto 6which features the Vice City aesthetic teased by the leaks. Beyond this image andGTA 6header, the Kick image mostly hints at the website’s anticipation for the sequel toGrand Theft Auto 5, which is hugely successful in viewership as well as player numbers.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/KickStreaming/status/1661560056167690241[/EMBED_TWITTER]BecauseGTA 6’s existence has been confirmed by the developer and leaker alike, Kick may be doing some background work in getting the category live now so that they won’t have to when it actually releases. The image shared by Kick shows that the game has zero viewers, suggesting that it hasn’t simply replacedGrand Theft Auto 5, which still streams to thousands of accounts on the platform. Due to thepopularity ofGrand Theft Auto 5andGTA RPon Kick, Twitch, and YouTube, it’s likely thatGTA 6will see large viewership when it is eventually released by Rockstar Games.Given that Rockstar Games still hasn’t revealedGrand Theft Auto 6, it’s still currently unclear what the finished product will resemble given that the leakedGTA 6footage highlights that the game is clearly in development. Though the Kick audience still pales in comparison to established platforms like Twitch and YouTube, the website may secure morepopular livestreamers like Adin Rossand Buddha ahead ofGTA 6’s launch, which may help bolster its audience.Grand Theft Auto 6is currently in development.MORE:Grand Theft Auto Should Bring Back Period Piece Stories After GTA 6
