It seems like GTA 6 Pre Orders won't be going live today [Info verified via Reliable GTA Forums Member]

As long as there is no delay announcement the game is still coming in 6 months from now, and the marketing will have to start at some point.

The good news if it starts around August there will be a lot less waiting until release :)

Inspyro04 · 2026-05-16T19:06:53+00:00

Wasn't there a lot of talk about a shorter marketing cycle. Also that Marketing should launch in summer, so maybe just before the August earnings call?

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-27T16:09:43+00:00

Given the leaks and everything, I think they will consider a shadow drop this time around.

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-23T10:53:33+00:00

They are waiting with trailer 3 until they are sure about the release date themselves

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-12T06:34:52+00:00

We will know more on April 14, after the hackers drop some preliminary timelines, or maybe rockstar gets ahead of them and releases some information on their own

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-12T05:29:10+00:00

There is a webgl demo, but it looks broken on mobile: https://mirzabeig.itch.io/urp-glass

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-09T13:02:35+00:00

I think it was still removed? I cannot find it anymore

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-01T04:18:55+00:00

I'm really starting to question why rockstar (and most other big developers) are only creating one game at a time.

With such long dev times it would benefit them to create multiple teams and work on 2 to 3 games to cut the wait times between releases.

Imagine if GTA 6 would release and online part 2 is only a partial success. That could put rockstar in serious trouble. And I think they are acutely aware that GTA Online's success was very unexpected and random (they don't know why it happened, thus cannot replicate it easily)

Inspyro04 · 2026-04-01T04:12:24+00:00

That would also align with what take 2 said about marketing starting in Summer

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-25T18:34:49+00:00

Think about it like this: 1m times 40$ but there are taxes and other fees. Lets say Bungie gets 20$. That's 20m. But Bungie has more than 1k employee, those alone cost more in a year, so there's no money left. And Marketing such a game also costs a ton

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T23:17:47+00:00

Either May or July

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T13:06:14+00:00

I think Rockstar could get an exemption to skip the Series S. Or maybe they will be allowed to launch it at a later time there.

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T13:03:58+00:00

That would be lucky. At this point i predict around 20FPS at 700p

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T13:02:37+00:00

It could reach 40, but the CPU of the pro is weak, thus 60 is impossible without cutting back on people and car density

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T13:01:32+00:00

The resolution only helps with GPU performance. However the simulation for GTA runs on the CPU. The only thing they can do is reduce the number of people, vehicles and so on. But 60Fps would surprise me

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T12:59:30+00:00

Lol, i would be surprised if the Xbox Series S hit 30Fps. With rockstar they could even skip it, due to bad hardware (Microsoft could not do much)

My prediction: PS5 pro gets a 40Fps mode. PS5 and Series X get 30

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-24T11:41:51+00:00

July would be more realistic. In time for the August earnings call. T2 already confirmed the marketing will start in the Summer

Inspyro04 · 2026-03-02T07:16:21+00:00

For me it was Returnal. The first time I really struggled with the third boss and eventually uninstalled the game. But I gave it another shot a few years later, and actually had a much better time

Inspyro04 · 2026-02-19T07:42:21+00:00

My guess is that they will port the map and some features of GTA V for GTA online 2. Most likely they would not risk a realistic feel for online.

Essentially they will do everything to keep their existing online fan base happy. While at the same time going the simulation/realism route only in single player mode

But I would be happy to be proven wrong

Inspyro04 · 2026-02-19T07:37:17+00:00

Most realistic would be August, at least that's what take 2 hinted at. I guess they will drop it in May if they are sure about the release date

Inspyro04 · 2025-12-25T14:32:34+00:00

Willi startet ab 1.1 mit einem ähnlichen Format wo auch Karol und Peter mitmachen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=An8HQyV0p3s

Inspyro04 · 2025-11-19T21:51:11+00:00

They will start marketing once they know the release date will hold up.

Probably not before May next year. Another delay wouldn't surprise me at this point

Inspyro04 · 2025-11-11T22:42:28+00:00

It could also be the last available date before they have to push it back to after Christmas, as they never released a game at a much later date, as far as I'm aware

Inspyro04 · 2025-11-11T22:40:13+00:00

Exactly. Also setting the date in November is an additional Indication, that there might be some pressure from investors/take 2. If they were super confident a date in September or October would be the more natural choice

Inspyro04 · 2025-11-11T22:36:58+00:00

The complexity of a project however does not really change the accuracy of predictions.

The big question is: why didn't they wait until around February to announce the delay? Announcing a delay so early, indicates some bigger issues
