There goes my urge to buy a PS5 Pro this year. Although Sony is probably going to increase the price of the Pro in a few days. Not sure if I should upgrade now before the price increase or wait til next year.

To every1 asking who though game gonna come out this year still, even here on gaf almost half of poll participants thought that way
And look when that thread/poll was made- not even a month ago- at that time it was fairy obvious game gonna get delayed and yet so many gaffers still believed corporate lies about it coming 2025No, they are going to delay the release because the Switch 2 version is not ready yet.
Shame the votes are not with names

Let me laugh at everyone who actually thought this was going to release this year:
Wait let me laugh at the people who also think it will actually release in may 2026:
Joke of an industry! I also fully expect it to cost 90 dollars by the time it comes out because why not... "Greed is good!"

Don't worry,with how talented Sandfall Interactive is they'll release Clair Obscur 2 by the time GTA6 releases...at half the price of it too with twice the emotional engagement!

Take-Two stock price is getting fucking hammered.
A release for this year felt too good to be true. You know Rockstar without the Benz is going to be scrambling like a crack whore at the end of development.

The opposite, they are glad they finally know which exact date (month) to avoid.
May for the console version, and I would guess december for the PC version.

Yep, tiny piece of me wanted to believe, but I knew deep down it would be fall 2026 (May would even surprise me)
Sucks for sure, but not a single human TRULY felt it would come.

Def CGI and nothing more.
Nah, it had all the visual signs (flaws) of running in an engine.

It's nice to have a firm answer. Now all the publishers can solidify plans for the holiday. Things have been in flux all year because no one wanted to release near it.

This game was my ONLY chance of me buying a "current gen" console
Guess I will wait for "next gen" because this will 100% launch on the NextBox or maybe even delayed until 2027 for PS6
This will be the first gen of consoles since NES era, where I did not buy one. That says alot.

Won't be surprised if it's delayed to 2027, honestly. That so many companies, investors etc. are banking on this game to uplift industry sales and revenue just shows how bad of a state most of the industry is in these days. A single game shouldn't make or break your guidance & forecasts, even if that game is GTA.
On the flipside, at least the Fall calendar season is wide open for takers. GOTY should also be more interesting to speculate on now (my guesses for picks are Clair Osbcur, Ghosts of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, Metroid Prime 4 and The Blue Prince as current frontrunners).
PS6 ain't coming 'till 2028. SIE are gonna milk as many PS5 sales off GTA6 as they can before moving on.
OTOH, since many were saying they'd increase PS5 prices in time for GTA6 milking, since it's now delayed I guess we might not see any further PS5 price increases this year
Nintendo will.
PC will.
Sony might.
Xbox? Lol.
Devolver are awesome

At this rate, AGI will be achieved before GTA6 is ever released.

They're probably just aiming to repeat the double dipping they did with GTA5 on PS3 and PS4.
hemo memo
You can't die before your death
Don't announce a window from the start then. It's a clear demonstration that their hype machine operates independently of reality and fans anticipation is just a tool for their marketing. Next time silence would be a smarter indicator of progress than another hollow promise.

Tales based on common sense- will be clear once game comes out, there is a reason we didnt get any more trailers after 1st- major changes to the game's story happening as we speak and trailers would reveal bunch of shit.
GTA6 isnt ur intergalactic with bald female blasian stud where sony can take the 400-500m usd budget hit even if game flops after 7years in the making(we know it wont come till 2027 earliest and cuckman started making it in 2020) and just increase price of playstation console/accesories/subscription service to make up for it.
GTA6 gonna have easily 2b usd budget and has to sell extremly well, not 50m and not even 100m copies- so rockstar/take2 heads liking money will do everything possible to minimize risk, aka not release turd of a game- woke agenda never makes game better, sometimes its neutral if its optional/very contained but in most cases its negative/very negative(here i could give u 20 examples but we all know those games super well).
GTA6 doesnt need positive spin articles from sellout journos nor brownie points for wokeness in reviews, it needs positive word of mouth thats is requirement for actual longterm sales, rockstar/take2 need them badly, they dont spend well over 10years developing their flagship title only to get reduced sales pushing fake agenda- top heads are on it and fixing all this shit those last few months, and they will keep fixing it for over a year from now.

That was a given anyways, remember rockstar tripple dip strategy- first current gen console release, then next gen console release, and only then definitive eidtion coming to pc, hell they can go with 4th dip- next next gen consoles/rt features like in gta5 case of ps5/xbox series version then a while after rt patch for pcSo pc players have to wait till 2027/2028

Who's that fucking ballsy to risk hard work to go against GTA 6 on same day? Devolver is publisher so who's the crazy dev?

Any person that follows gaming should have known that it was going to be delayed. No trailers in over a year, mum on any details since then. It was clear and evident. I even predicted that if we didn't get a trailer by the end of April this year, then it would be delayed.
The least surprising news of the year and it's not even close. If you really thought GTAVI was going to release this year, then I really don't know what to tell you. You're a gullible sort.
Honestly, if they announce Hotline Miami 3 and release it next year. I will buy both.

Increased Hardware prices AND no GTA for the holidays means this will be a disastrous year for Xbox for sure.
