[OmegaSupreme]

The most non surprising delay ever

 

[Baemono]

What am I gonna play now, Ghost of Nothankei ?

 

[ReBurn]

Someone somewhere probably lost a bet

 

[Lucifers Beard]

There was no way this would come out in 2025. Rockstar usually delay games by at least 6 months.

 

[Kurotri]

fuck my chungus life

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Wise decision. Marathon probably got them scared.

 

[Steve Holt]

 

[Darsxx82]

And it won't be if the game is delayed again beyond May 26th...

 

[missiles]

Please also note the new price point of £150 (base version)

 

[Judge Magister]

Predictable.

 

[The_Observer]

Who would have thought so?
At least they could have dropped a couple screenshots if not a trailer…

 

[PeteBull]

Ahh yes, they indeed were making cuts to all woke content before coz realised it will make gta6 perfom below expectactions, sept to may is 8 months of delay, so not some tiny changes delay but major overhaul.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I guess publishers can now start revealing their game slate for fall without worrying that GTA 6 will overshadow them.

 

[DenchDeckard]

its not even May - This is classic rockstar. See you in Q4 2026

Fuck I just bought a PRO! - If they announce PC day one after this Im going to cry.

 

[Kikorin]

Never expected it to release in 2025 anyway.

 

[Kupfer]

 

[RedC]

They know it needs to be as polished as possible on release day.

 

[Hookshot]

Bad year for Sony then.

 

[GHG]

With the rate of inflation at the moment, it's so that they can justify the price being $120.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I wonder how many projects delayed to 2026 will now be brought back to 2025.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

 

[geary]

They were afraid of Borderlands 4, which is also own by Take Two.

 

[GHG]

Bad year for Sony then.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

A huge breather for holiday season games, really. This year is stacked and I'm kinda glad that GTA will not loom over the q3-q4 releases.

 

[Hohenheim]

Yay! This means a lot more games coming this autumn!

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

If you think this will be the one and only delay I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[TheMan]

I'm not mad Rockstar, I'm just disappointed

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Clears the way for that Marathon GOTY!!!

 

[Killer8]

Everyone who called it, enjoy your O onQ123 moment.

 

[Gaiff]

What was the initial plan? Q3 or Q4 2025, right?

 

[Gripsx]

Good

 

[Gonzito]

So my April's fool joke thread I made wasn't actually a joke

Man....this is so disappointing. Another fucking year waiting for the game to be released

Damn it

My reaction

 

[lh032]

meh is alright, alot of backlogs.

and i also yet to play the below games.
KCD2
expedition 33
Oblivion

And more.

 

[PeteBull]

2025 will definitely be terrible both hardware and software sales for xbox, gta6 was the last thing that could push their hardware/software sales by a decent margin in 2025, now by may 2026 we will likely get leaks if not even official reveal of next xbox so even gta6 wont push xbox sales so late in the gen
On a positive side- next gen consoles and if we get pc release somewhere in 2027-2028- 60xx nvidia gpu's will be validated to play the game with huge improvements over old af and outdated by mid 2026 current day consoles

 

[Mephisto40]

Extra time to edit their pricing strategy

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Bad year for Sony then.

Sounds more like games such as Marathon, etc will have more time to breath...consoles will still sell during the fall but now hardware will have a bigger boost mid 2026. A boost it was never going to get in any other way.

edit: there goes the one thing that was going right for me in terms of stock investments, lmao. (but i was counting on it anyway)

 

[GrayChild]

Rockstar knew they can't compete with Clair Obscur for the GotY awards. Smart choice.

 

[AtomicStarving]

 

[saintjules]

Watch the video from this thread. Henderson says that if there were to be a delay it would most likely be another year. Sonething would have to be fundamentally wrong with the game to be delayed.

An early year release for this game at this magnitude doesn't feel right apparently.

 

[Rockondevil]

It's been on the cards for quite some time. Doesn't mean I'm any less sad.

 

[Gonzito]

[RCX]

Now watch everyone and their mother bail into the 6 month window from September to March.

There's going to be a lot of broken AAA games pushed out into the market to try and beat that May date.

 

[KyoZz]

2027 for PC then.

Fuck you R*

 

[damidu]

lol thats a substantial delay too, guess its not in great shape

 

[Boss Mog]

I never expected it this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's delayed again til fall/holiday 2026 (that's when I always expected it to launch).

 

[Fabieter]

its not even May - This is classic rockstar. See you in Q4 2026

Fuck I just bought a PRO! - If they announce PC day one after this Im going to cry.

I still doubt they will do that. There is just no way.

 

[Schachtier]

Still only one trailer. Guess it was fake.

 

[Traxtech]

They need another year of milking GTA microtransactions yewww
