How are you guys surprised? It's the most expected delay at this point there's not even a gameplay trailer yet.

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[TrebleShot]

Over a year delay? hahaha. This thing will be in a proper mess of a state, imagine this running on 6 year old hardware by the time it releases.
BTW it def doesnt hit that target.

I recon March 2027.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

It's gonna be not as good as the others, isn't it?

 

[Schmendrick]

Did anyone expect this to release 2025?

 

[Sybrix]

not even a fucking trailer?? This generation sucks ass.

Id settle for a screenshot!!

 

[PeteBull]

Just in time for the RTX 6000 cards

2027/nvidia's 6000 family will be great time to upgrade ur gpu, gta6 will be coming out by then or soon, so we will easily know whats needed specs wise to play it comfortably, next gen consoles will be either revealed or at least their specs leaked so again- we will be able to extrapolate from that what kind of gpu perf/vram is needed to stay above console line, so no1 ends up like current 3060ti/3070 owners with their tiny 8gigs vram pool( gtx 1070 had 8gigs of vram and that card launched mid 2016 ffs ).

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Wait 12 years, what's another 6 months. The longer the wait the better the game will be

 

[winjer]

I can already see studios that had their games planned for H22026 to start panicking.
I bet several games will be delayed or advanced, just to avoid being anywhere near GTA6 launch.

 

[__SteakDeck__]

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.

They're not going to announce PC day one. Rockstar likes PC fans like you to double dip. Lol

 

[kikkis]

Reminds me of starfield. Completely clueless project management. Doesnt mean the game sucks.

 

[Unfortunatecookie]

Every 2025 publisher that isn't Take-Two:

Hopefully a new trailer isn't too far off.

 

[Montauk]

LOL.

Can't wait until it's delayed until 2027 at the next update.

 

[Anthonyt]

What am I gonna play now, Ghost of Nothankei ?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!!!

 

[Unknown?]

How many Xbox Series will be sold YTD in 2026 by May? 300k worldwide?

 

[Fermbiz]

Honestly, i feel like it won't be released till 2027 on consoles.

Im switching teams to #Team2027

 

[balls of snow]

I wonder if we're now going to start seeing a surge of game announcements for Q3/Q4 2025 soon.

Oh hell yeah. Gears Collection, a new Battlefield and probably a couple of big unknown AAA title is just ready to be revealed after this news.

 

[rofif]

nobody cares for casual auto 6.

 

[GymWolf]

Good, let em cook.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

It's one thing to delay the game (no one is shocked), but no new trailer or screenshots or details?

 

[Radical_3d]

R* fans.

 

[Gubaldo]

I said this few days ago

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

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.

Actually, this may be the true reason. If you aren't launching on PC, you risk not maximizing mindshare and fervor at this point.

The biggest games are driven by the culture of the PC userbase and also available on console now.

 

[Hookshot]

How many games are going to go into massive crunch now to get out before GTA?

 

[Gen.Grievous]

So 2027 for the PC version. 12 years after GTA5. What a joke.

 

[Stafford]

Watch them delay it again to late 2026. I wouldn't be shocked.

Meh, it's whatever. With GTA V I hated the delays, but I honestly don't even care now. Plenty games coming, even more so in my backlog. Meh.

 

[squidilix]

Bad year for Sony then.

LoL ....

Yeah its PC day one

 

[NT80]

How can they be so exact with their release date a year out especially with something as complex to make as this.

 

[Jaybe]

I'm sure quite a few, and I wonder how many will release bugfilled and missing features to reach a tighter timeline.

 

[//DEVIL//]

 

[Diddy X]

IDGAF I'll wait patiently for PC release, no hurries, there is plenty to play.

 

[Kupfer]

[Aretak]

So 2027 for the PC version. 12 years after GTA5. What a joke.

Look on the bright side - at this rate, there'll only be a couple more GTA games to go until the sweet release of death.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Xbox should bring Fable forward now LOL

 

[Gamerfan81]

Well everyone was right to have suspicions that it would be delayed.

 

[adamsapple]

Whelp...

Now all other publishers can rush their 2025 projects out without worry.

 

[Mattyp]

Legit going to have been two generations between GTA games by time this launches, they're so fucking cooked.

 

[Madflavor]

nobody cares for casual auto 6.

250 million views.

Are you absolutely certain that nobody cares about this game?

 

[Loxus]

 

[__SteakDeck__]

Xbox should bring Fable forward now LOL

MS did not delay Fable because of GTA. Lol That game was not ready to release this year.

 

[PeteBull]

How can they be so exact with their release date a year out especially with something as complex to make as this.

Plot twist is- thats not the date of actual gta6 release, thats the date when they postpone the game and show u actual september 2026 release date at the end of their 2nd-this time gameplay reveal- trailer
I mean: gta3, vice city and san andreas released in october, gta4 released early december, gta5 in sept, very unlikely we gonna see gta6 release in may instead of "normal" gta release window aka sept-dec.

 

[Robb]

The least surprising news of the year.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Christ Almighty there's a chance we might actually see Silksong before GTA 6?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

It's gonna be not as good as the others, isn't it?

I called it in a thread I made last week. I think the game is a mess. That's why they are so quiet, also very strange that they would delay the game a full year and the May released date is very strange because most of their games launch in the fall so I'm thinking another delay will happen.

 

[Jinxed]

This just confirms Expedition 33 as GOTY. Great for Sandfall

 

[Johnny Concrete]

That's about half a year sooner than I expected.

 

[Team Andromeda]

MS did not delay Fable because of GTA. Lol That game was not ready to release this year.

You know, even when people put in a LOL. People take it seriously

 

[Duchess]

"It's going to be arriving in October this year, which makes me wonder if Sony knows something about the GTA 6 release date that we don't."

Yep. They sure did..!
