'Gangstar New Orleans'
Another GTA-like game which you can play while waiting for "GTA 6" is "Gangstar New Orleans" which is currently accessible in Android. The mobile video game features the usual scenario in Rockstar's iconic franchise including the gangster and thug groups.
If you want to experience a fresh adrenaline rush straight out of a new game, this title is definitely worth your time every minute. Getting bored with endless walking on the street? Why not try to annoy the cops and let them chase you until you get wasted?
'Watch Dogs 2'
When "Watch Dogs 2" came out in 2016, everyone thought that it would be the next "GTA" in line. However, all Ubisoft received at that time was hate from fans who despised the gameplay.
At first look, you will immediately see the violence in the game: from crooked cops to notorious criminals wandering the cities at night.
What's good with "Watch Dogs 2" is that you can also play as a hacker who hijacks a person's device. That's not what we see on "GTA." Overall, it's all about technology and weapons when you enter the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you think that "GTA" has a special place in your heart and you want to revisit the previous game versions such as "Grand Theft Auto II" and "Grand Theft San Andreas," check this list from Gamespot.
