I found a similar topic on another site, and I wanted to see what people here think about this. And will Squadron 42 actually be released in 2026 along with GTA 6 or get delayed again?

Or perhaps both may get delayed to 2027?

Either way, I won't be playing GTA6, just as I did with GTA 5, + it's not getting a day one release on PC like Squardon 42, so I will be playing SQ42 first if it is indeed release in 2026, and maybe I will try GTA6 later when it comes to PC, I only beat one GTA game in my life the PSP one and skipped the others.

Will Squadron 42 affect GTA 6?

 

[SJRB]

Squadron 42 won't even be a blip on the radar.

 

[scoobidoo112]

I'm still not convinced that Squadron 42 is a real game that will actually come out.

 

[Gaiff]

Squadron 42 isn't coming out this decade, so no.

 

[diffusionx]

Star Citizen cultists are so out of touch

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[clarky]

Better question would be what won't affect SQ42's release date?

 

[Sintoid]

Modders will make Squadron 42 in GTA6 before Squadron 42 launches

[viveks86]

SQ 42 is launching for PC only. GTA is not launching for PC. So... no?

Wait, SQ 42 is never coming out, so who gives a fuck...

 

[Braag]

Very likely that GTA6 gets released next year. Very unlikely for Squadron 42 to release before 2030.

 

[MMaRsu]

Lmao

 

[Baemono]

Each time a new game releases, they push Squadron's release date by a week.

 

[EN250]

Normies and people who didn't get scammed by that ponzi have a clue what's a Squadron 42

Even grandmas know now what is GTA, so idk what you're implying here

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I don't even know what Squadron 42 is lmao

 

[Hudo]

Probably not. R* still follow their "triple dip strategy" and don't release it on PC, while Squadron 42, at least as of now, is confirmed only for PC.

 

[keefged4]

I don't even know what Squadron 42 is lmao

Same, I had to google it, just finding out about it now. I think GTA VI will be fine.

 

[EviLore]

Good one

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Squadron42 is gonna be delayed for another 3+ years. Games from that dev aren't supposed to be released.

 

[kruis]

Star Citizen may be the game in existence where the devs will make more money delaying the game forever than releasing it.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

What they've shown of squadron 42 looked like shit, and it's not coming out next year.
At best they may release "chapter 1" which would be the on rails turret shooter they have shown then say they released squadron 42.

 

[Shane89]

Squadron 42? I didn't even know it exists until now that i saw this topic.

 

[Fbh]

To answer your question I'll first need you to purchase a $1500 digital ship from me.

 

[StereoVsn]

 

[AJUMP23]

GTA doesn't care.

SQ42 doesn't matter.

 

[StueyDuck]

one of them will actually release in 2026

 

[Killer8]

Half the cast of Squadron 42 won't be alive by the time it releases.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

literally nobody who's waiting for GTA6 has ever heard of squadron 42 lmao

 

[Hideous Snake]

NOTHING can affect GTA and R* in general. A league of their own

 

[Rush2112]

Why release squadron 42 when you can just sell more virtual ships.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I legit forgot about Squadron 42. That cast is wild.

 

[LordOcidax]

Will Squadron 42 affect GTA 6?

Can a mod fix the thread title...

Squadron 42 vs. GTA 16: Will Their Release Dates Actually Affect Each Other?

GTA 6:

Honestly, sometimes I forget about it myself it's too good to be true from the last showcase I have my doubts also about many things. Will it be fun to play, or will they focus too much on the visuals like, the order ?

 

[LordOcidax]

OP, No game can compete with the GTA franchise in the universe… And if a game comes remotely close to compete is not going to be Squadron 42 .

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Just try to figure out what that 42 stands for and you will get the answer.

 

[Ishma3L]

A game that won't release vs. one that will. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Dacvak]

What the hell is Squadron 42?

That's my answer I guess.

 

[Muffdraul]

I assume you work for the Squadron 42 marketing team.

Maybe you think intergalactic, can compete with the GTA6 right ?

btw.. isn't it 2026 game too? or did it run to 2027?

 

[LordOcidax]

No, but Intergalactic is above Squadron 42 for Sure … Sorry for pop your bubble

In what way? if you mean graphics then let it be above Hellblade 2 first, Sorry for pop your bubble!

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Only Fallout 5, Elder Scrolls VI, and Witcher 4 would be be able to rival the greatness of GTA VI.

Ohh, you're talking about Graphics now?

 

[wafflecioccy]

That's not even a high bar to clear. Hellblade 2 is a small Order 1886-esque walking game and 90% of the graphics are photoscanned rocks/pebbles and some decent water shader.

Naughty Dog has produced the best 3d graphics in games numerous times over the years. On a scale much, much bigger than HB2.

 

[JusticeForAll]

Nobody outside of enthusiast-forums like this has ever heard of Squadron 42.
