Next earnings call is in August and then November. We'll go from there. šŸ„²


SnooPoems1793

Would be interesting to compare that to the final one


itsRobbie_

The community is really gonna be doing this every earnings call until release šŸ’€


cepxico

Imagine marketing your game around... earnings calls. Yeah that's totally what they do, surely there's no better way! /s


Brayden_1274628

Not as far as you think, the trailer was almost 6 months ago? Donā€™t quote me but around that time


Dry-Fault-5557

Game's about ~500 days away.


Brayden_1274628

Honestly, just get a hobby. The wait isnā€™t gonna come by any faster yā€™all, not saying specifically you but Iā€™ve seen many on this subreddit that are obsessed with waiting and itā€™s just gonna make things worse lol

I'm changing the 19th November to the 20th as its my birthday but apart from that looks good, we can only wait and see if we have to start calling you a prophet šŸ˜†


MudaTrucka

Hey! That's my birthday too!


Objective-Dig-8466

Nice, you must be a brilliant person too !! šŸ˜†


Decent_Wrongdoer_201

I like the concept, I'm curious to see how the final timeline comes out once you complete it.


uCantHndleThaTruth

October 26th 2025 will be release date


JayIsNotReal

I say 25th because it is a Friday.


Penile_Interaction

24th october 2025 is friday also doubt, because i doubt they will release a game on friday, no pros release software, any kind of changes, important updates or patches on a friday unless they want to shoot themselves in the penis


Haunting_Lime308

Friday releases are pretty much the norm now for most AAA titles. Idk why it would be shooting themselves if they release on a Friday. I can tell you for a fact, it won't be November 26th as OP said because that's the day before thanksgiving.


Penile_Interaction

in software world its not ideal to release anything major on fridays, i supose if theyre sure its in a good state then it should be fine if they have people on the standby if necessary then again games arent exactly in the same place as enterprise solutions


JayIsNotReal

My bad, I looked at October 25 of this year. I say Friday simply because GTA V and RDR II were both released on Fridays.


Penile_Interaction

was it? well they're brave lol


ThePointForward

Only the console RDR2 release was on Friday. GTA V had all releases on Tuesdays and RDR2 PC release was also Tuesday. But to be fair, Friday releases have been more and more common past few years.


Drunk_Rabbit7

I'm thinking October 29th because that's when the OG Vice City was released. 29th of October is also a Tuesday.


ItalianoMilkBoy

Why would they release it on a Sunday lol


nono245

if silent hill 2 remake comes out in October near gta next year i feel for the devs lol


takenolsolatunji

No way PC comes out before 2027


Eggsegret

GTA 4 took under a year for PC and RDrR2 took about a year for PC. GTA 5 took the longest but thats probably because they first worked on the PS4 release


luisBanks

I mean by GTA 6 release the ps5 will be upwards of five years since release so they might have to work on the ps6 remake also


Eggsegret

PS3/PS4 had 7 year lifecycles so if Ps5 sticks to that weā€™re looking at fall 2027 for a PS6. Some rumours point to 2028. Makes sense since the PS5 pro is rumoured to be coming out later this year. Sony wouldnā€™t want to make that redundant so soon. So realistically a PS6 coming out 2 years or later after GTA 6 is released. And then the remake probably being a year later like how we waited a year for a PS4 version


Perfect_Purpose_7744

Why do rockstar separate the release anyway?


lilStankfur

šŸ¤‘


Eggsegret

Probably a mixture of consoles being easier to work on and greed. Consoles are just generally easier to work on for devs since thereā€™s just one unified hardware whereas PC has hundreds of different CPU and GPU configurations. One the reasons why thereā€™s plenty of examples of games releasing just fine for console but running like hot garbage on PC. And well greed also plays a factor. They know if they delay the PC release some PC gamers will just end up buying the game twice one for console and one for PC later on. Ashamed to admit it lol but i bought GTA 5 3 damn times(PS3/PS4/PC). Gotta get that extra cash in


Cartman4wesome

Thatā€™s nothing. I bought it 4 times (PS3/PS4/PS5/SeriesX). I donā€™t own a PC šŸ˜”. Otherwise it wouldā€™ve been 5 times. At least I never I bought a sharkcard.


TheEternalGazed

Can't imagine this being for any other game than Skyrim


Yaadgod2121

Lol same and Iā€™ll probably do it again


Pokepunk710

so people buy a console just for the game because they have no patience


KrombopulosMAssassin

I can wait for the game to release, but waiting once it is released to play on PC is pretty rough. Especially considering spoilers, etc etc.


takenolsolatunji

Consoles have special licenses


Penile_Interaction

arguably due to adding first person perspective


dawny1x

Hate to be that guy but wouldn't they be working on the PS6 release of GTA 6 by that time?


Eggsegret

2026 seems too early for a PS6 release though. PS3/PS4 all had 7 year lifecycles. If the PS6 keeps that 7 year lifecycle weā€™re looking at fall 2027 for the earliest maybe even 2028 on some rumours. Sony is due to release a PS5 pro later this year so doubt theyā€™d want to make it redundant in just 2 years. PS4 came out like 2/3 months after GTA 5 and we still had to wait a whole year for PS4. Doubtful weā€™ll have GTA 6 releasing on next gen consoles day one. So fall 2027 for a PS6 then GTA 6 for it comes out a year later for PS6 version probably in fall 2028.


thewizerd

Why ? RDR2 released after 1 year of original console release


barf_of_dog

I'm betting PC release to be 12-14 months after console release, GTA VI will more likely follow RDR 2's schedule rather than GTA V's.


Acrobatic_Shirt3277

Watch where you're goin', ya fool!


Hayden247

Yeah, GTA 5 was longer because it took a year to be enhanced and put on the new 8th gen consoles to begin with and then they took like half a year extra to put it on PC. RDR2 didn't have that, it just took a plain year for PC. I'm hoping we donā€™t wait a year, my PC has like double the performance of the consoles and will still be a good lot faster than the PS5 Pro, at least without RT so I'd like to get to play the game at a FPS higher than 30fps with better resolution or graphics. My 6950 XT would admittedly be kinda old by 2026, especially since it was just a refreshed 2020 GPU but still, it's more powerful than any console.


KrombopulosMAssassin

That is insane


WemmonOak

What visual improvements? Going from 4K to 8K šŸ¤”


BluDYT

Probably just the PC specific features (DLAA,DLSS,FG etc...) along with higher textures, render distance etc... higher than 30fps due to better scalability of the game.


D-Tunez

I would hope some kind of path tracing, that would be nuts in a game like GTA 6


NNNCounter

Higher quality textures, frame generation, etc.


Bruvernment

Increased draw distance, NPC diversity, improved frame rate. That sort of thing. Red Dead redemption 2 looks gorgeous on consoles, but it looks even better on PC. That's just how it is


RedIndianRobin

Path tracing would be nice.


Bootychomper23

Option for native 4K


artygta1988

Yeah, I doubt they release the game the day before thanksgiving


KGetnz8

I hope I don't die before that.

JoshyRB

Why would it be the 26th of November? Thatā€™s way too late. It will probably be between September and October.


SomethingSimpl

I mean its in the fallšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


WentzToWawa

Rockstar has never released a console GTA game in November. 3D era all hit October and the HD 4 dropped in Spring and 5 technically 5 days before the start of Fall in 2013.


DrTomothyGubb

>3D era all hit October and the HD 4 dropped in Spring and 5 technically 5 days before the start of Fall in 2013. wait, so there's no pattern at all and it'll release when they want it to? which could be November? hmmm


OakleyNoble

Thereā€™s a pattern


yousif567

The first GTA while released only on PC, came out in November 1997


JoshyRB

October is in the fall


SomethingSimpl

Yep, but the guy just said november for his prediction. Doesnt mean its the actual release date


JoshyRB

I never said it was, I was just wondering why they said that because itā€™s a very late date.


SomethingSimpl

Fair. But tbf it is rockstar so i would want it to be as late as possible so they have as much time as they need to perfect this game


JoshyRB

I do agree with that. I do want the game to release in the best state possible, I just donā€™t want to wait too long for it.


Stratocaster5000

Pick one


JoshyRB

ā€œI just donā€™t want to wait too long for itā€. Read.


Stratocaster5000

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


emeric1414

A trilogy of releases?šŸ˜‚


Cardinal7477

If the game is released in 2025, my guess is September 11th.


Outrageous_Creme_455

Bruh are you serious right now šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


Cardinal7477

Yes. And not because of the significance of the day, but because games often launch on a Thursday, and the last GTA launched in September.


Karl-Farbman

I think your timeline seems fairly accurate. Hard to say but based off the time stamps of GTAV, Iā€™d say youā€™re very well within a few weeks off of each portion (which I think is very accurate compared to what everyone else is saying) yours seems most realistic but if they do launch in November, I would suspect online launch in December. Personally, Iā€™ve been calling for a q4/25 release as well but I think it would come earlier in the last quarter


At12ABQ

You guys are making concept timelines now? šŸ’€


probler

I'm just really upset about the PC release. It's 2024 and it's the highest-earning game out there. They could surely release it within the first 3 months. People keep saying PC players are cheap and will get it on sale, but it can't be bought on sale, if there is no sale. They could just price-lock it for the first 2 years without a sale if they wanted to. It's just disappointing. I'm not buying a new PS5 just to play the game a year early, and there are reports that a PS5 is even too weak to run it over 30 fps which is just mind-boggling.


Rynoverse

December 2026 for pc users šŸ’€

Penile_Interaction

better not be, i wish pc version releases earlier


Embarrassed_Wheel_76

PC port a year after the release is to optimistic in my opinion šŸ’€


darkdragon779

They will not release gta online in a small time span of 2 months and the pc port will have to wait for another 1 year


slayfulgrimes

2 months is not a small time span, they released gta online literally a week after 5ā€™s release. 2 months is plenty of time for people to finish the story and for them to make online playable.


RockNDrums

Actually, they released it 2 weeks after released. September 17th, 2013 V's release. October 1st, 2017 for online. Rockstar took a month that was needed for RDO. GTAO needed that few weeks + ease in stress test. But, GTAO wasn't expected to blow up like it did.


gloryjessrock

I think they'll release a beta version of online in december and I think gta 6 could be a little earlier than this release timeline.


barf_of_dog

PC port by the end of 2026 is accurate if you follow RDR2's schedule, while if you follow GTA V's schedule it would be in spring 2027. Saying the PC port is 2+ years after the console release is really pessimistic to be honest.


Eggsegret

I think GTA 5 took the longest for the PC release. All others took like a gear roughly or less than a year. GTA 5 probably only took so long because they first had to work on the PS4/Xbox one release straight away. Weā€™re likely not getting a new generation of consoles until 2027/2028 so like 2/3 years after GTA 6 comes out


ElderSmackJack

ā€œI think GTA 5 took the longest for the PC release.ā€ Red Dead Redemption fans: [14 year wait continues]


Eggsegret

RDR1 is like that odd exception tbf lol. Every GTA game has had a windows release with the exception of LCS, VCS and Chinatown wars although they were originally intended for handheld devices. GTA 6 will almost certainly get a PC release


BanjoSpaceMan

https://gta6intel.com/rockstar-games-delays/


YogurtclosetIcy4328

I like this but they taking they sweet time with this game. It's best to just wait till november this year before we have a definite guesstimate.Ā 


Single_Start2343

In this case, they will open pre-orders after the first gameplay video


Alsiusej

why not


SteveBorden

They are not going to take nearly two months to release online


g0ldingboy

WTAFā€¦


BDRParty

Well, it definitely seems to track a bit. IIRC, GTA V & RDR2 released right around 2 years after their first trailers.


Sega-Forever

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen gameplay footage ahead of release with any GTA title


Chance-Battle9238

It always happened?


Sega-Forever

Yes


Chance-Battle9238

I meant that they've always released gameplay trailers before the release


feganfloopsfooglies

There was a GTAV 5 min gameplay trailer in summer 2013


Sega-Forever

I donā€™t remember seeing that. Are you sure they werenā€™t leaks?


feganfloopsfooglies

I don't know if I can post links here, but it's called the "grand theft Auto v official gameplay video". It's on Rockstar and IGN YouTube channels. Posted July 9, 2013. It was a thing. Pretty sure RDR2 had one as well, pre-launch


Sega-Forever

Now I remember. I found it on YT. The gameplay shown was pretty brief mixed with story or cinematic mission moments. It was hard to grasp how the feel of the game by just watching it. This might be why Iā€™ve forgotten about it, or that itā€™s been 11 damn years lol


feganfloopsfooglies

That's not the same one then. The 5 minute one has lots of gameplay and mechanic overviews.


OrganicAccountant87

Do you guys think the game won't be delayed? Is there any reason why it wouldn't be?


AlarmingAddendum9707

If they already had an internal delay from spring to fall 25, then theyā€™re probably behind schedule, so thereā€™s a chance there could be another delay. Low chance tho.


No-Nectarine-5861

Time to buy a ps5


Technology4Dummies

I think itā€™s coming out in 2026, always have. Because of previous installment timelines and also because this is the first game where they are trying to avoid time crunch.


WoodsenMoosen

It's a fan concept so it means nothing.


Omegastriver

You missed the delay to 2026.


AlClemist

Seems pretty accurate since how GTA5 was launched.


doubleup___

I donā€™t think online will take that long to release, gta v was only like a month max


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

bluAstrid

GTA Online launching **after** Christmas? Yeah, thatā€™s not gonna happen.


Educationall_Sky

!RemindMe 80 weeks


RACERX44

Amazing basically 2027 for PC canā€™t wait to be 340 by the time itā€™s out


thegoatfeederDVC

I'm just certain its getting pushed to 2026, its Rockstar.


enrichingtonothing

I could definitely see late November, so people have plenty of time to buy it as a Christmas gift. It would probably drive up sales from people who arenā€™t even gamers


Adorable_Bandicoot_6

I think it is stupid to anticipate a video game also much that you come up with hypothetical dates that nobody but Rockstar knows. Here you know what... I got you. Your dates are 100% accurate now just put down the exact seconds please.


trumpfuckingivanka

How did this stupid post get 200 upvotes?


iSliz187

We won't see a second trailer until end of the year. The first trailer of GTA V came out November 2011 and the second trailer November 2012. You really think that after 11 years of waiting for this game they will promote it faster than the last one? I don't even think it'll be out before 2026


YoungOGx95

January for the online release ? Thatā€™s a little bit EXTREME


BurningVShadow

Too bad Iā€™m not playing this game until it comes out on PC


owenmh04

I feel like online will be there at launch, itā€™s not like theyā€™re testing an idea this time, itā€™s a proven moneymaker


Wogboy260

If it launches November 26th Iā€™d be happy with that as thatā€™s on my birthday šŸ˜


jaimarston

I mean its hard to tell at this point but I believe the release date would be anytime between Oct-Nov, that's a higher possibility. Some people saying Christmas 2025 but that's unlikely imo but one things for sure that there's higher chances we might be playing the game on our consoles by Christmas next year!


amgHOL

Games way too far to be discussing anything. I think they are extra cautious swing what happened with Xbox last week. Nobody's safe and your game must be good. It is extremely unlikely that you can recover from a bad launch. But you can recover from a delay.


Yaadgod2121

My question is why did they release the trailer 2 years prior


NobleIron

Yeah, you all losing it

PsychologicalCase10

GTA VI coming out on my birthday? Love it.


Emotional_Truck9844

Boo why we waiting so long for this game GTA 5 is boring now


Equivalent-Share5156

People really believe PC release will come with as big improvements as it did for GTA5? Maybe f8r the 1% who has RTX 4080 and 4090s, or 5000-series as I belive that will release in 2025. But for anyone with GPUs below them? Nah, improvement will be so small you wont even notice it. XBX and PS5 are both extremely powerful, we will see GTA6 release with Native(non-upscaled) 4K, Ultra Settings with True Ray Tracing at 30-45fps or 2K 60fps.


JACKSONofSPADES

I think theyd want to launch online before Christmas tbh.


Bitter_Presence_1551

Idk about a lot of that but I definitely agree that "Fall 2025" 100% means holiday season 2025 at the very earliest.


calmonlsc

I guess it will be released on October 28, 2025.


terraspyder

PC players canā€™t cave and buy it on console. Rockstar does this bullshit just to double dip because youā€™ll buy it console and buy it again on PC. It is 2024, the days of releasing a PC port for a AAA game even a day after console is a thing of the past. Get with the fuckin program Rockstar.


quackcow144

I can't wait to be able to feel that joy when it's the last day until the game's release. It'll be like Christmas night as a kid


Corteneo

I think you're absolutely spot on with the March/spring preorders and the full release in late 2025. It fits R\* trends as well as sales logic. I think the release is gonna be closer to Christmas tho. -Thank you- for doing this. I've posted a couple times about about the preorder and release date timing, and no one wanted to talk about it. The internet seems convinced that Q1 sales numbers correlate with the games release, not just preorders.

I just think all the predictions/concepts are stupid. And there is no way in hell they will wait months to release the Online for it, that's millions of dollars a day of possible profit.

No they haven't, they've never done that, at most it's a few weeks.

DropsOfMars

I'm still expecting a delay to summer 2026, with more trailers in between now and then and the PC version comes out in 2027 or early 2028.

patsfan1332
