Sorry, GTA fans but Rockstar Games has announced that the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is going to be a bit further out.

Ao PC is now what April 2028?

Now watch all the other publishers push their timelines up, because they were delaying their releases so as to not compete with GTA 6..

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

Yep was thinking the same. There's a bit of void there waiting to be filled. Question is whether or not the dev teams will be prepared.

Probably. 2 year cadence is somewhat norm these days for console ports but a part of me wonders if this time will be different.

Give more time for that $80 price point to sink in, so when GTA6 comes out at $100 it seems more normal

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

That is sad but probably true. I kind of thought the same as well.

I'd rather not play a game than pay $80 for the standard edition, I haven't even paid $70 yet. No, thanks.

I'm part of the problem I'll pay retail + for the uber plus expansions version of games.

By the time the PC version is out it will come down in price either way, or if not: It's their loss, literally.

I don't believe I've paid $80 for standard, yet, that I can remember anyway but I know I've paid that for something that included a season pass. Although I've tried to get into the GTA games, decades now, I've never finished even one so I'll probably just stick to watching videos about this one when it comes out.

I think GTA is overrated, not to say that they are bad games, far from it, but they were just no-nonsense action games. Ironically it is exactly this fun that they started dismantling since GTAIV, by shifting the tone to be more serious. I felt GTAV was already taking itself too seriously for its own good, and GTA6 will probably double down on this direction. And this is why my outlook is more pessimistic than optimistic about it, and this is why I'm not really bothered by the delay.

I'm really not convinced that it is a must have at all costs game.

V didn't get good until it hit PC and the modding started.

Since 3 the games have been a crime story. It's like playing your drama crime heist movie. That's what I like about them. Other games don't do that or they do it wrong.
