Support NeoGAF

[yogaflame]

I hope at least show a new trailer, demo or beta best this year, to ease the pain.

 

[viveks86]

GTA Six in Twenty Twenty Six

Whoa! GTA Seven in Twenty Twenty Seven confirmed!

 

[CrimsonTide]

I hope at least show a new trailer, demo or beta best this year, to ease the pain.

Least they could have done was a 2 min gameplay video, but nope, a shitty tweet is all we get.

And we're going to like it

 

[rkofan87]

i know fans are sad but like i said the fact that other games can come out when they are ready and not get delayed for gta6 is a good thing.

for the love of GOD, please don't show me the Shigeru Miyamoto meme on this

I BEG YOU NOT TO

 

[tr1p1ex]

when is ps6 coming out again?

 

[yogaflame]

Did GTA6 already break the record of Duke Nukem forever as longest development for a game?

 

[Little Chicken]

Probably scared of The Outer Worlds 2 releasing at the end of the year.

 

[Orange_googoo]

Expected but still a little disappointed.
Will try MindsEye, Mafia and Crimson Desert this year to scratch that itch a tiny bit

 

[nikos]

Totally expected, and it may even go to Fall 2026.

90% chance it doesn't happen, but it would be incredible if it released simultaneously on PC.

They'll release this at the end of the current console generation, release it on PC and then again on next-gen consoles. Same as GTA V.

So true, i feel like someone kicked me in the nuts.

 

[Rob_27]

Obviously working on Switch 2 version.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I was speaking to my cousin's son about videogames yesterday. Kid is 9 years old. I mention GTA and he was like "GTAV or VI"? And i was like "GTAV was the last one released. GTAVI will come out this year" (this was before the delay) and it hit me that GTAV came out 2 years before that kid was even born..and here i am talking about it with him, then he mentions how he wants to play it and their parents won't let him, lmao. Kids born when GTAV released (2013) will be teenagers when GTAVI releases next year. Let that sink in.

And by the time 7 comes out he'll be married with kids and we'll be in old folk homes lol.

 

[CrimsonTide]

Obviously working on Switch 2 version.

4k60 in handheld mode confirmed.

Yes, it is a 1080p screen, but R* will ship a special chip with the game that changes the entire pixel count of the Switch 2 screen, facts. Bookmark this

My cousins neighbor once was in a shopping mall with someone who knew a man who once bought a dog from a former R* dev, so trust me

 

[CrimsonTide]

Heat death of the universe before GTA 10 enhanced edition

 

[Mephisto40]

when is ps6 coming out again?

Probably about 6 months after this releases

 

[March Climber]

First reaction: "That's much sooner than I thought!"

Second reaction: "...we're not in 2026"

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

 

[Grildon Tundy]

It is taking 2.6x longer for GTA VI from GTA V than from GTA V to GTA IV.

If it takes 13 years for GTA VI from GTA V with a release date of 2026, and we assume the next GTA will also take 2.6x the previous iteration then:

2.6 x 13 + 2026 = 2060 GTA VII release year.

When will the GTA 7 enhanced remaster come? definitive version only for me

 

[Kerotan]

Are people actually believing 2026 is going to happen...

PS7 launch title?

 

[adamsapple]

On the flip side, I expect a lot of summer game fest window announcements for release dates in Q4 now.

Most publishers are probably breathing a sigh of relief.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

When will the GTA 7 enhanced remaster come? definitive version only for me

We only have one data point for enhanced remasters, and it took GTA V 12 years, so 2060 + 12 = 2072.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

And by the time 7 comes out he'll be married with kids and we'll be in old folk homes lol.

Im 36 now. If GTAVI releases in May 2026, i'll be 37. GTAV released when i was 23. If GTAVII takes 13 years to release...then i'll be...50 by the time GTAVII releases.

Why did you make me think about this? fuck...

You're joking but if this keeps up, 8 will release when i'm 63, not that close from retiring, lmao. (we'll never retire but that's something else entirely different)

 

[CrimsonTide]

Nice, ill be 86 years old then, can't wait for this one! HYPE TRAIN!

 

[Toons]

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.

This game can be as "woke"as they want it to be and its still gonna sell like hotcakes

Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't paying attention

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

$120 games need that extra half year to polish.

 

[ultrazilla]

Totally called this like a year ago. Just home from getting my total left knee replacement and groggy. Love NeoGAF and stay well my friends.

 

[Portugeezer]

We got a GTA6 delay before GTA6

 

[adamsapple]

Im 36 now. If GTAVI releases in May 2026, i'll be 37. GTAV released when i was 23. If GTAVII takes 13 years to release...then i'll be...50 by the time GTAVII releases.

Your kids are gonna love GTA VI Remastered on PS8 with RT door handles.

 

[DragoonKain]

GTA6 and Hollow Knight Silksong competing for which comes out first:

 

[dotnotbot]

Are we even sure the world will still exist in 2026?

 

[Venuspower]

 

[Von Hugh]

GTA 6 remastered in 2040 then?

 

[ReyBrujo]

Time to buy some Take Two stocks

I will wait until the second delay when they drop even more.

 

[Audiophile]

AGIB4GTA6

I was 21 when GTAV came out, will turn 34 in the week before this (might) release, urgh.


Anywho, that ~77 Day release bubble is about to get filled in quick...perhaps we even see some games getting announced very soon given the window is suddenly free (or even games already announced either side of it being pulled in):

We the grid-based dungeon-crawler crew will always welcome you

 

[Montauk]

Now people are just quoting different dates and ages. What's your point?

Do you know how old I was Mad Max 3 came out and how old I was when Fury Road came out? No? Why not? Is that not fascinating to you?

None of this means anything. All of you have more games to play than you could finish in multiple lifetimes.

 

[DragoonKain]

It's such a delay that I need to wait a month to update my game release spreadsheet because we still haven't hit May 26, 2025 yet.

As it stands right now, favorites for GOTY 2025 are: Clair Obscur, Metroid Prime 4, MGS3 Snake Eater.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

So 2027 it is!

 

[Fake]

Expedition 33 GOTY confirmed?

Probably will be.

 

[Montauk]

Guys, this is crazy. I just looked up the release date for GTA5 and it came out almost 12 years ago! Did you know that?

 

[Superposition]

It won't be out on 2026, It's our first cross-gen game of the 10th gen.

 

[seething left]

PS7 launch title?

We'll never see a GTA being a launch title. They love milking double-dippers so much.

 

[Bartski]

Most publishers are probably breathing a sigh of relief.

big party today at pearl abyss

Don't worry. By the time you hit 50s, AI will be making games and you can play a new GTA everyday! It would have taken our jobs too, so early retirement for us all. What else is there to do than play?

 

[skyfinch]

I guarantee the reason for the delay is the make the Series S version run at a smooth 60fps.

 

[Montauk]

At 480p (upscaled from 240p)

 

[MaKTaiL]

I hate that people take as a given GTA 6 will win GOTY when it comes out but I personally believe it will be the biggest flop of the decade.
