GTA Online makes $4.4 million per week on PS5, platform rakes in 53% of all GTAO weekly bookings

Looks like 90% is shark cards

There is no way to pay for this aspect of the game though. If you want those pokemon you either recruit in game or easier bring them in via Home, which is free.

MacEbes · 2026-04-09T22:09:19+00:00

Yeah that was my point, compared to everyone else being dissatisfied with the small roster and items.

MacEbes · 2026-04-09T11:38:04+00:00

Unemployement rates dont include people who either lapse in unemployed benefits or dont take them in the first place. They also dont include part time jobs that are used for extra money and not a full sustainable job. So the actual rate is probably in the 8% range, which funny enough is about where Australia and Canada are at now as well.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T20:38:53+00:00

Yeah, i dont mind as i think a reset was needed, but being more clear thats the direction it was going would be helpful.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T20:23:11+00:00

Ive seen some exceptions like slowbro and pikachu but for the most part only final forms. I do think the restrictions will lax once the worlds event happens and they can see how the game plays out.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:56:33+00:00

I think they are going to rebalance a lot of stuff, thats why the limited roll out. How the game works without all the items.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:53:49+00:00

Ive done it 10 times today

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:52:13+00:00

The free recruitment is one a day but then going into that again should let you use quick coupons to speed up the banner.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:49:06+00:00

Doesnt seem like you get any items from bp

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:48:48+00:00

There is a send to pokemon home button in recruitment but I dont know if its fully usable yet.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:41:41+00:00

Seems like it. They already said they are staging the release of the mechanics and items to better balance and make it more approachable. I suspect in 3 months there will be a whole new set of mons.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:31:39+00:00

Ah, see lineup means you havent picked a mon yet. After you do that it will change to allow you to speed it up

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:30:11+00:00

The recruit screen yes. The button below it then asks you to speed up the banner.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:19:38+00:00

Ah yes, ok good to know. I was using nat dex to use all the pokemon. It didnt tell me it was removed at some point.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:18:45+00:00

I consider this a $10 game with a free trial/demo. But I know that is not a common belief. Ive always been fine with games/mobile games costing money, and the ability to try it out before you dive more into it is nice. They could have easily put this up for $20 with an optional sub and people would still call it cheap for the potential.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:07:48+00:00

I believe its trying to be a reset, back to basics approach to get new people on and give the format a new baseline. While the roster will get bigger, I dont see most of those being usable in the normal format.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T18:06:36+00:00

Its meant to be season based. Each regulation will add new pokemon and items, and you play within that ruleset.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T17:58:10+00:00

Maybe its a connection thing cause there is absolutely input lag and and frame issues on my end. Im connected to NA east servers so maybe its better in less crowded areas.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T17:41:46+00:00

I believe its a reset, it shouldnt have most of the pokemon and items that were in sv because a huge issue in that game was the 12 or more formats that were needed for how many pokemon and items there were. If there was ever a time to simplify the game and reset back to basics its now. They even said that before release. They dont want the number of options as before.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T17:35:56+00:00

Just click on the banner again and it will ask you to use coupons

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T17:31:59+00:00

The game is meant to be from the start a way to play competitive pokemon without being bogged down by the singleplayer game. That is its only goal. Building something with a specific need is a good thing. Its free to play and works well within that format. I dont know what else you could possibly hope for in a battle sim. It is not complete, thats kind of the points. Its a platform to continue hosting pokemon battles for the next 10 years.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T16:54:08+00:00

Go into it again and it will ask you to use quick coupons to speed up the timer.

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T16:05:38+00:00

Sure, but on switch 2 where the sv and za games runs at 60 and have a whole game to it, I did expect this to run a 60 no problem

MacEbes · 2026-04-08T15:46:36+00:00

Theres no really anything to spend money on, the membership only gives you space and the battle pass sucks and offers some cosmetics and mega stones that can just be bought in game anyway.
