The Grand Theft Auto series began in 1997, and every game in the series lets you commit the titular crime–sometimes stealing a parked vehicle, but often carjacking a driver in the middle of the street. But with the recent reveal of the Grand Theft Auto VI cover art, we realized something pretty remarkable: Only one game in the series actually features a grand theft auto on the cover.
As you can see, Grand Theft Auto 2 appears to show a carjacking in progress, with someone rushing into a taxi while people scatter nearby. It’s an excellent cover just from a vibes perspective, but it also gives a bird’s-eye view of the action, just like the original GTA and GTA 2 do in-game.
