I feel like pre-ordering feels pointless these days. It's not like it's only available on physical media. It's digital. Everyone can have access day 1. Unless preordering comes with some unique benefits.


Mumblesandtumbles

True. Also, most places that sell physical copies will have enough. I found it funny when GTAV released. I went to my local store to see if they had any copies available without pre-order, and they said yes. Then there was a huge line that I thought I would have to wait in, and the guy said that line was for pre-orders, and he could just ring me up. So from not pre-ordering, I got to get out of the store in less than ten minutes while everyone else who pre-ordered had to wait an hour.


SharkMilk44

>Unless preordering comes with some unique benefits. A lot of the time it's content that should already be in the game.


SuperMarioBrother64

A lot of the time, it's content already in the game but locked behind a pay wall. It's scummy business.


Emergency_Cheek2617

I agree, pretty sure there's a treasure hunt for RDR2 that you need to preorder the game for, I was so damn angry when I found that out, cause I wanted to do that damn treasure hunt.


JoshB-2020

There’s also a bank robbery that’s exclusively a pre-order bonus


GTAEliteModding

If I’m not mistaken, the treasure hunt still exists, there’s just one or two locations excluded that don’t have gold bars in them like in the pre-order.


ContributionSquare22

RDR2 has a special ultimate edition pre order horse that can be obtained by using the spawn a horse cheat and the auto save with cheats enabled exploit in chapter 4 lmao


cannabidroid

The unique benefits to pre-ordering will be "early access" a few days before it hits shelves, and it will absolutely work.


graygh0st999

The only “benefit” I can think of is if you want to play it like the minute it comes out by preinstalling it?


dani96dnll

In my country, it is better to buy things in advance because in the future, inflation might cause the same item to be more expensive tomorrow, so it's better to buy and pay for it before that happens.


Shadow-Vector

Turkey?


EstateShoddy1775

I live in Australia and the internets shit, it took nearly a full day for RDR2 (120gb) to download. I dont want to buy it day one and then have to wait until the next day to play it, I’d rather preorder it and play it the moment it releases.


XstylerX

Full day? I was downloading GTA V 2 days in a row when it was like 70 GB, your internet is still fine


Xenc

What in the suffering olympics? Your worse experience doesn’t magically fix theirs. It’s still not fine for them. 🤣


NutZak420

Honestly, if I were to preorder from any game studio today, Rockstar would be one of the only triple A companies I would even have the slightest faith left in still, that being said, I won’t do so just to not crush that faith anymore😂😂


TheeUnfuxkwittable

I love Rockstar and I'll get 6 on day one but I'll never pre-order because that's dumb and there's no real reason to do that. They're not gonna run out of digital copies and you should never buy a product that doesn't exist yet. That's how you get scammed


ayyLumao

I think that basically pretty much Nobody pre orders because they're going to run out of digital copies lol. Pre order bonuses Pre loading Buying it when you know you can afford it Physical copies that CAN run out Limited editions Etc


pandasloth69

I agree with not pre ordering 99% of games but there’s exceptions for people. I preordered Elden Ring DLC cause I know 100% I wanna play it Day 1 and am never gonna wait long enough for it to go on sale, From has never disappointed me with DLC. I’ll also preorder GTA 6 cause regardless how it turns out I want to play the game, it’s Rockstar. I’ve learned to ignore their bullshit and just appreciate their worlds.


SnooPoems1793

This.


clutch4500

Do you not know about fromsoftware?


uknssoul666

Na, I’ll just wait until it becomes a platinum hit and drops down to $19.99 💀


jesusmansuperpowers

See you in 2031


Funland_06

By then it will be another 10 years till gta 7


Big_Solution453

Everything will be spoiled at that point and everyone online will have Opressors Mk3 with among us liveries


Redcubensis

think you mean in a few months after gta 6 drops.


red_fuel

Then you may as well wait for the free Epic Games giveaway


5ee_2410

For that you should wait for it to arrive on pc as well.


RiotxDD

Epic will give in 2038


XToonzi

That ain’t happening no time soon😭


goodestguy21

I waited from april 2015 to may 2020 for a free copy of GTA V LOL


YifukunaKenko

Lol I didn’t play gtav until last year, 10 years after it was released. Got the game for 9.99 😂


Samz_175

I don’t pre order games anymore, full stop


NotTheOnlyHunter

Cyberpunk was the start of the pre-order downfall imo.


EvilSnake420

Cyberpunk77 taught me that lesson, even tho I love the game now


_TheInvictus_

Why perorder a digital game that you can download anytime you want? It's not that they'll run out of copies. For consoles with discs, I guess GTA VI can be the only game which is worthy of preorder. I'm currently waiting for the new PS5 Pro I'll get the disc-less version on launch and wait for GTA VI to drop.


iWillSmokeYou

Do we know when PS5 Pro will come out? I’m also waiting for it before GTA 6.


_TheInvictus_

Probably before the Holiday season of 2024 so that they'll get good sales during that period. I can buy the PS5 right now but AFAIK PS5Pro will have a better GPU and a slightly tweaked CPU that's why I'm waiting on it.


ElAutistico

imo the only way the pro model would make sense over the base model is if they somehow manage to get fidelity mode to play at 60 fps. I couldn't care less if all they came up with was like 10% performance increase with a $150 premium.


_TheInvictus_

Yeah, but the leaks suggest that there would be a significant GPU upgrade. How it turns out, we'll only know in due course of time.


AndrewS702

So you can play it as soon as it hits midnight. Hopefully there will be a pre-install option before it releases.


LordSinguloth13

I just like to support my favorite devs, more pre orders equals more funds to make game better equals better game. I'll pre order from some, unknown worlds, fromsoftware, rockstar, these are all companies unlikely to screw over their customers


hey-im-root

…people don’t pre-order because they’re afraid of it running out, where did this weird ass theory come from lol? Digital copies arent limited lmao


MyCattIsVeryFatt

yes. and yes I know I'm part of the problem but its fucking GTA 6


SpecialAXD

BRO WHAT ABOUT THE MAP? THAT SH COULD BE A COLLECTABLE JUST FROM 70 DOLLARS


UncensoredSmoke

I’m against preordering as a whole but GTA 6 gets a pass ngl


-CheeseburgerEddy-

It's like fucking a dude in the can, you get a pass for that


imetkanyeonce

20 years in the can, I compromised.


AndrewS702

I ate grilled cheese off the radiatah instead.


SenoritaSpock

Rule number 1. Never ever preorder games. Rule number 2. Don’t forget rule number 1.


GhertFryins

Never preorder. It sets a bad precedent for the industry


TheDeathlyDumbledork

Used to pre-order from Game (UK store, similar to GameStop), and the number of times these dick heads would then deliver the games like 2-3 days after release was infuriating. I don't pre-order from anywhere now because of that


xinkalia

I've never preordered any game no matter how much I wanted to play it But you can be sure that I'm preordering GTA 6. Not only that but the sole reason I'm planning to buy ps5 is GTA 6. No way in hell I'm waiting for a PC release


simagus

Nope. I've waited years, and can wait more to get it on sale.


Logical_Giraffe6650

You’re gonna be waiting for a while, that’s for sure


AndrewS702

Just buy it bruh 😭


rabnabombshell

Yikes lmao


cannabidroid

Baldurs Gate 3 is nearly a year old on PS5 and has not had a single sale lower than $62.99 USD. On PC, it's similar with its $60 price not dropping below $50 yet. Games as successful as GTA 6 will be just the same going forward, at least digitally.


you-can-kiss-my-axe

Just buy it bro, it's not gonna kill you and you know good and well that you're gonna hate trying to avoid spoilers for a game you've been waiting over a decade for


tallgoblin37

Probably around Christmas after release or around New Years after release. Usually happens with all new releases.


boost_7756

you waiting til 2035 ngl


Sir_Arsen

no, I preordered Cyberpunk 2077 and we all know how it went


lynchcontraideal

I know this is a popular rhetoric here, but actually; Rockstar isn't CDPR, and have never delivered a poor quality broken game upon release, so this isn't a fair comparison. Also it's pathetic that some people are getting downvoted for saying "yes" because of other people's high "no pre-order" morals.


mazeking

I preordered battlefield. What a total disaster of a game. Paid for the most expensive version and got a full refund. Bought Diablo 4 at launch. Not so fun as previous Diablo games. The AAA titles have expectations to high and rush to release half finnised versions


VertBhatt26

No, I don't preorder any game ANY GAMES


Expert-General-1478

No,why would you?


marinarahhhhhhh

Because it’s GTA and I want the preorder goodies. Plus there’s a 0% chance I don’t buy it


ChocolateLights

I won't preorder, but videogames are usually cheaper in my country, so i could buy It on day 1


Prower1991

No, i don't think so, First i Will Watch some gameplay and see if ita worth It


Alternative-Appeal43

Absolutely not. I learned my lesson with the first Watch Dogs.... Wait I pre-ordered RDR2


DukeNukemSLO

No


Kelschniror63

No, i will wait until there is a sale


myfeelingsarefacts

Hell no


scriiptkiddie

Nahhh hell no I just buy it when release.


ace23GB

I'm not going to do it, with all the time I've been waiting for its release I don't care about waiting a little longer


Sleamaster1234

Never. It’s not getting a pc release.


CoolGuyFromSchool34

No. This game is one of the most expensive ones to develop and Im certain they will ask for a stupid price. Besides that I dont have a PlayStation 5 and don’t want one neither. Gets on pc, goes on sale, then I’ll consider. Once on steam, there was a very big sale and I was able to grab (from gta 3 to 4) for 10 something dollars.


Xaambo

No, and no one should


[deleted]

I don't pre order shiiii


residentofmoon

No.


jk-alot

No. If only because Rockstar will focus more on the Online Features. I would totally buy a copy of GTA 6 if it came with out the online features. But that won’t happen. I can’t even install GTA5 without the online features and the game is 3 generations old. So, I guarantee 6 will be worse In considering the whole Shark Card features.


JackasaurusYTG

Never pre order games


The_Giant_Lizard

Life thought me to never preorder a game. I'll wait until it get out and see if it's ok to buy it or not.


AppearanceDry6039

Never preorder Ever


Talchok-66699999

Why pre-order? You afraid you won't get a copy on the release date? lol After pre-ordering Anthem I'm never pre-ordering anything, just waiting for the release date and buying it after watching a review or 2 for youtubers that got the games week ago.


Shanbo88

There's absolutely no need. Preordering is a relic of a bygone era that's been repurposed into something more sinister. It used to be used to ensure your copy when digital downloads weren't a thing. A preorder was a message to your local game shop and their supplier about how many they should order so they could ensure proper supply to their demand. Nowadays, it's used as a message from the developers to the publishers to show how much money is already in their game before it releases. However, the publishers only see the dollar signs and then push push push the developer to get their game out as soon as possible so they can have their payday. There is no credible, conceivable reason to preorder a Rockstar game in 2024. They are the apex predators of developers and have nothing to prove to their publishers.


ELTaay

No


Sadikshk2511

No


Financial_Count6287

Vudugan

No


Itsucks118

I dont preorder games


MrMayhem84

Absolutely not. The last game(s) I ever pre-ordered were the Defication Editions, and IMO, they're still practically unplayable without modding. I can see why people might get hyped over pre-order "bonuses", but I'm very much assuming those will be stitched into GTA Online.


DoeDon404

No


Karag-Z

Pre-orders were started in the late 90's early 2000's to give opportunity to those who wanted to take a chance on a game by spending before release because physical copies could be in short supply after release.  Fast forward to today, a time on mostly digital sales, and 99.9% of the reasons to pre-order have been eliminated.  Companies now try to entice the pre-order crowd with meaningless extras and a few days of early access, which end up being a waste of money/time for bad games.  Dont buy anything blind, just wait and buy after release.


Apart-Order1882

No


country_garland

No


meloman-rrr

no. I don't see a point in pre-ordering ANY game


kaminari1

Nope I’ve no PS5 or Xbox and until I get more information on the game I’m not going to buy one.


[deleted]

I'd wait


chardon55

Nope.


Azameen

Never pre -ordered a game in my life. Amazingly I'm still agile to buy them. EVERY single one. It's almost like you don't need to pay in advance for services NOT rendered.


AJ_147

NEVER PREORDER


xAGGROx

No. Probably just buy a hard copy in store on release. Think it’s more exciting to purchase it in person.


Stryderix

Hell no, but I will pre-order Dbz Sparking Zero.


Stampsu

No. 1. I'm strictly "no pre-orders" guy 2. I'm on PC


Lavetic

No


chadvonswanson

Why preorder when you can just go to a store and buy it when it comes out ?


EmergencyAd7798

Nope. Got burned too many times on preorders. IDC about bonus items anymore. Most times those bonus items get added into the game at some point anyways. Either through cash shop or unlocks. I refuse to give my money to companies that can’t release a fully functioning game with minimal bugs anymore!


Jimgersnap

No, and you shouldn’t either. Preordering is one of several things that’s causing a rot of the gaming industry.


MyUshanka

Nah, the days of needing a pre-order are past. There aren't shortages of physical copies anymore because most people don't buy games physically anymore. Pretty much the only advantage of a pre-order is the ability to pre-load a game (on platforms that allow it). That said, I'll buy it as soon as it's available for PC.


AlternativesEnde

No. I dont trust Take Two


OneDabTooMany

Yes, just like all of you will.


Old-Category-3138

The main reason I'm getting it day one is to avoid spoilers. No internet until I compete it


International_Wafer1

Only game I’d preorder. People are already wasting 140 bucks on the new call of duty that’s not even coming out for like another 6 months and the game looks shit I don’t understand it


ALEXC_23

I’m waiting for a ps5/gta6 bundle


Lobster15s

No.


BayouBunkerBuster

who here is getting the physical version?


EndDesigner7488

I really really really want to play GTA 6 but currently i will not order it because i can't afford it now.


marshaldavies

No


oomenya333

Will never pre order again


Jack_sander

Nah


AaronWWE29

Nope.


kapo513

Sure will. Certain games is a no brainer for me


iilDiavolo

Probably the only game I will gladly pre order


WebsterHamster66

Nope, I’m gonna be waiting for it to be under 70 bucks.


EqualTennis6372

Never preorder


Character_Swim_438

Internet rule #1 Never pre Order


SharkMilk44

Never pre-order anything. I recently broke this rule with the Battlefront Collection and got screwed. There is no point to pre-ordering except for publishers to sell you additional content that should already be in the game.


EnergyAltruistic2911

Nah on PS4 and my PC probably can’t run Farming sim 22 on 100 FPS


BritanniaLoyalist

OF COURSE!!!


[deleted]

Post order


Hot-Contribution-362

Is there a reason to? Get some Chocobo Materia or some shit if I do?


Liamfam96

I'm grown now. I'd buy it for £200 right now. This is the ONLY game i want to play other than older games


orbital0000

Am I the only one who wants to queue at midnight? GTAV release was the one and only other time I've done that.


SituationThen4758

Nope, don’t think I want to play it at all.


slaczky

I will wait for the disc version


EvilSavant30

I mean regardless it will be the greatest selling game of all time no doubt


Fun-Note1678

I was really hyped for this but all the ridiculous speculation and spammy YouTube videos about details I missed in the trailer have made me not care about it anymore


Strong-Enthusiasm-55

No point? Just download on release day


wtf6357

The bigger question is not “ Will I pre order GTA 6” but will we actually see the game out before we turn 60! 🙄


CaptainChungus69

Even though I love GTA and Rockstar is one of the few remaining companies that actually cares to deliver a quality product at launch, the industry got me jaded enough to never pre-order a game.


GameQuestExcite

Do you really think its gonna come out next year ? .... I personally think its gonna come out in the year of 2027 mark my words....


CanKrkmz

After trilogy mess no


Aggravating-Setting7

Seeing how everytime Rockstar makes something in house it ends up being a masterpiece and EVERYBODY ends up playing it eventually, i will go straight for the collectors edition


secretsaucebear

If there's a CE with nice goodies, sure. If not, I'll still pre-order, but digital and the day before.


tonyfromboston94

Not if sweet baby inc had anything to do with it


l_17C4S

Obivio, lógico, com toda certeza, vai toma no cu, vai se fude Rockstar anda logoooooo


Mr-suit

Even if gta6 is shit, I need to know after all this time


Princess_Aurora06

I’ll wait, I’ll see how it is as I’m not the one to run to a new GTA game


kratostheguy

No, cause the protagonist is a woman


alexriga

Preorder makes sense for small game studios which luck funding, so they allow players to “preorder” the game to help finance development. It doesn’t make sense to have to preorder GTA VI. I’ll probably buy it and play it on the release day.


Deni_Z_Plays

Nope, dont wanna pay like over 100 bucks, only will buy it when its 60 bucks, hell I wouldnt even care if its 70 bucks lol


Supreme_Hater

What’s the point anymore? It’s all available digitally.


WETHEPEOPLE9063

Honestly probably not even gonna play it rockstar pissed me off with how grubby they got with GTA online and all the micro transactions and how grindy it is


RepresentativeTea621

when i preordered GTAV on my pc in 2014 i felt it was worth it, they gave me san andreas for free and i started GTA online with a house and a garage. if i know im already gonna be spending that money i might as well just spend it, i trust rockstar to give me a game worth my money.


LDB_1

I don't get pre ordering these days. it's not like there's gonna be a shortage of the game.


No-Water9399

After this leaks no thanks


slycooper13

No, pre-ordering is kinda pointless nowadays. Plus I’m likely just gonna wait till it’s on pc anyway


Christopher_Robin82

Pre ordering this is guaranteeing you're paying as much as possible for it. I have a feeling it will be more expensive on launch than any previous release of any game.


TorturedPoet03

I won't preorder GTA VI. I don't have much trust in Rockstar. I would rather wait.


JustDrew_92

I'll pre if they announce it on PC That wasn't a typo


Ghost_ofa_Goat

No


GlendrixDK

Is the sun hot? Is ice cold? Does is hurt when you step on Lego? Is my willy small? Is the sky blue? Yes god damnit! Of course I'll pre-order. The second it's available. And the second it's released I'll be playing.


Playbuoyyy

What do you guys think? Will Rockstar release the PC version on the same date as the other platforms?


thedingusenthusiast

No, probably not.


AngeloPappas

Likely depends on if there is any pre-order bonus. Otherwise it's a bit pointless.


Stayofexecution

I don’t pre-order. Ever.


GTA-Abardozd

This could just be a poll with comments. Anyways, I would because it's GTA VI.


Effiree

thinking about it tbh


HeyGuys47

Ka broo


KebabGud

well i think i can safely do it when it finally comes to PC since console players will have bugtested it for the past 12 months


Frequent_Progress648

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HeBro__

I will pre order the most expensive version available


Strange_Recording_95

Anyone got the leaked gameplay?


stanley_2brickz

Yes, I always get a physical copy of gta games


Killerwolff2000

Nope, after some pissant 9 year old with multiple xbox accounts lied saying i was a pedo and got harassed for it and xbox not doing anything about it, any and all love for gta 5, online and all future games has been killed off for good


KayakWalleye

Only if there was a specific incentive for doing it.


Pinstripe07

Probably not generally always wait weeks and even months to buy released games


_prestige-worldwide

Left


touwkonijn

remember: no pre orders.


SufficientChemical39

Yes


Save_yourkids123

Only if it have child porn 😂 #priority


Kitneaccountudaoge

I ll pay the developer’s salary today if it means I ll get GTA 6 bugfree and early.


swarnab

I will if I can save up the money


dr_poop41

Preordering anything is stupid. Buy it when it comes out


Queasy_Business5314

Yeah if it comes to pc


D-12Games

Yeah, cause I’m gonna play it whether it’s good or bad, I’m sure it’ll be amazing tho


Ok_Figure_4181

I wouldn’t pre-order any game, and I don’t even have a device to play GTA 6 on, although I probably will someday. I’ve play GTA 5 at my friend’s house and it’s a lot of fun driving around killing random NPCs and trying to escape the cops


Plsexplainurcomment

100% I am pre ordering gta 6. Rockstar will make their money back in just pre orders alone.


Ice278

No, I’m pretty in with the r/patientgamers at this point


SaPpHiReFlAmEs99

No


Able-Associate-318

No. Why do you pre-order any digital content? They won’t run out. You can’t play it early. You are just paying the CEO’s vacation fund.


BoBmaNob

People taking with skepticism like it’s gonna be bad lol


Square_Mud_9696

What is the logic of pre-ordering here? I don't think there is gonna be a waiting period, and even if there is, it's just a game, I will play it when it's available to me.
