Neither GTA V nor a future GTA VI are currently planned for PS4 or Xbox One

Rockstar Games, the developer of the most recent Grand Theft Auto 5 title, isn't interested in bringing the franchise, either through GTA V or GTA VI, onto next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has just been launched for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and reports about potential next-gen versions have appeared in recent weeks, including a mention in the game's source code.

Now, Rockstar's Dan Houser has talked about GTA and next-gen consoles, saying that the studio is not interested in bringing the franchise to the PS4 or Xbox One as it's already working on a new game.

"Of course we're interested," he told The Guardian. "But no, not in terms of GTA, because we're always working on the current game."

"We don't have another GTA in development, we don't work on three of these games at a time. That would be phenomenally depressing. So, in terms of GTA, no."

While it's not an outright denial of GTA 5 for next-gen consoles, it is a statement concerning Rockstar's emphasis on focusing on a single game at a time.
