"Grand Theft Auto" is one of the most successful video game franchises in history along with highest-grossing franchises including "Pokemon," "Call of Duty," "Final Fantasy,""Mario," and more.

The arrival of "GTA 6" is yet to be announced because no one knows exactly when it is launching. Some reports say that we could see it coming by 2024, yet this is still a rumor to many.

With no assurance about the official date of its release, fans are left hanging with nothing to play, but a revisit of the latest and previous "GTA" installments.

With that in mind, if you are already tired of playing "Grand Theft Auto 5," "GTA Online" or any GTA-related titles, here are the best alternatives you can play this year.

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 18: A display copy of Grand Theft Auto V (C) sits on a shelf at the 8 Bit & Up video games shop in Manhattan's East Village on September 18, 2013 in New York City. The video game raked in more than $800 million in sales in its first 24 hours on the shelves

'Red Dead Redemption 2'

Regardless if you are a PS4, PC, Google Stadia, or Xbox gamer, you can enjoy exploring the vast map of RDR2 with the same vibes you can feel when playing "GTA."

This open-world adventure will let you crave for more action about theft, betrayal, treachery, and friendship. The story is rather confusing, but once you get used to it, you will see the beauty of unpredictability all in one picture.

Its visuals are amazing plus the powerful narration in every chapter. It's like walking inside a story then it's up to you what outcome you want to see later.

'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.
