I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

I know when the PS5/Xbox Series X/S came out they were referred to as "next generation" while the previous consoles were "current generation" when talking about games that were released on both consoles, for example NBA 2K.

I can see why you're confused and I agree that enough time has passed that we can start calling the PS5/ Xbox series X/S current generation.

I think that calling them next gen was okay up to the point that they became readily available.
