Odd you cited GTA6 in relation to single payer. GTA5 single player is a great experience but it's popularity and success is largely attributed to the multi player elements.

The entirety of the GTA series is popular because of its single player

GTA 5 sold for 800 million in the first day as a single player game. The multiplayer only shipped a whole year later. GTA 5s single player was a cut above the rest at the time.

To be fair that was over 10 years ago…

My point is that it was the highest grossing game of all time within a week and none of that was because of multiplayer. It's longevity is due to muliplayer but it was already stupidly popular before that.
