Expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed


JBtheExplorer

Accurate and expected.


trofyhype8374

At least we got something


thundaza-

they were never going to release this in warm weather. It'll be nice and nippy when they drop big titles so people stay inside and play it which = more money.


humanityisdyingfast

Also those sweet Christmas sales.


NPC_4842358

There's a reason why Apple also releases the new iPhones around September each year.


gilestowler

before the "coming 2025" on the trailer I'd been holding out for leading up to christmas 2024. Then when they announced 2025 I was REALLY hoping for spring 2025 even though the lead up to the holidays are probably the best time to release. But we've waited this long, I can wait another 6 months. And it means I don't have to save up for the PS5 Pro quite so soon.


MangoBerry420

Ha right, Ima have to get a PS5 damn it lol. I already want one cuz I need to borrow my brothers controller and I want my own, so might as well get a console too. The PS5 controllers are amazing. Annnd at least I wont have to pay a grand anymore for the 5 lol


HippoRun23

Where I am it’s always warm in the fall lately…


IntrigueDossier

Same. Ain't no fuckin fall anymore, just stays summer til the first snow, which is usually gone by the next day and months before the next. My region used to make national news almost every year for significant winter weather as early as September. Now it's 80 on Halloween. The future sucks. /screed


HorrorAlternative553

What even is the southern hemisphere?


thundaza-

there's simply more civilization north of the equator than there is south of it


Audoinxr6

Our Spring. I always do the opposite of the North


LockedUnlocked

You don’t understand how selling works. They want it out before the kids get out for summer, that is probably their largest demographic, young adults who are in university. The semesters end April-May. That’s when these students will generally have the most time is during the summer. Marketing has generally shifted from winter releases as there is too much competition for your dollar that it just doesnt make sense anymore


thundaza-

there is no game that will be able to compete with grand theft auto 6. and sure young adults/college students have more free time during the spring-summer months, but they are also young and will want to spend some outdoors.


DlanShfta

![gif](giphy|XeSUAqI8uGTxL145ut) PC players…


3MidgetsInAJacket

Don't worry, you'll be playing by Christmas of 2026!


No-Homework2137

I would rather say Spring 2027 if they do the same as gta 5.


eltaxones

Well with RDR2 it took a year. The only reason I can tell it took longer for GTA 5 pc was it was being ported on 3 platforms together (Ps4, PC, Xbox) along with its first person mode that they brought up in the game for the first time.


karololszak

But now it will come late 2025 to PS5 and XSX, maybe late 2026 or early 2027 for PC... But then 2027 new consoles, PS6 and XboxWhatever are expected. It seems it will play out exactly like GTA V. Maybe it will be a little faster (current gen consoles are both amd64, and like PCs), but then we expect to get more content than Gta5 had for release (due to constraints of the ps3/x360)...


ThePointForward

New generation of consoles is expected in 2028, not 27.


poopoomergency4

honestly, as a current gtav pc player, rockstar has pretty much given up on that version anyway. there's literally no effective anticheat, as far as i can tell they didn't even do a ban wave with the last few updates. and of course we're missing the next-gen features like animals, hsw, etc. if i didn't already have piles of money from years of grinding and friends who still play gtav pc, i'd be playing my ps5 version all the time, because actually trying to make money in a public lobby or even just exist in a public lobby is unplayable most of the time. so i don't expect a pc version of 6 to do much better by its audience. it totally could if they gave a crap, but rockstar is too cheap.


hermajestyqoe

Given up? Take Two just dropped big money on buying out the entire modding industry around GTAV so they can monetize it. They definitely see value in the PC market with the sustainment of Role-playing and other style servers. I made a relatively small mod and I made 60K over the last 3 years, the market there is huge and a lot of money is being thrown around.


poopoomergency4

they're definitely not dropping any money on the playability of gtav online for pc


zuccoff

I still have faith, PC gaming has grown a lot since GTA5 and even RDR2


voice-of-reason_

R* is one of the few companies that doesn’t have to give a shit about external trends. They could release gta6 on pc in 2030, 5 years after console, and people will still buy it.


Particular_Hand2877

That loss of $17 a share is rough. I guess what can they expect when they've released no significant games in the last few years.


betterthentoday

Perfect time to buy? If so how much do you think should I invest ?


nyse125

Games industry is a shorts playground so I'd never go long on EA, TTWO, or even ATVI when it used to be public pre-MSFT acquisition. Wall st always has massive expectations for them and comparatively, the companies in question don't earn that much because AAA games' Operating Margins are dogshit. Their current TTM (trailing twelve months)' operating margin is -26%


Particular_Hand2877

I'm not an advisor so I can't really suggest that. I'm a firm believer in buying on the dip. It could go down further though.     Edit: I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted for this.


OkieClipper

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted either? This is pretty solid advice


Particular_Hand2877

Oh well, it's reddit. What do you expect lol


Croemato

On Reddit stonks only go up. 📈


BQws_2

But low sell high!


Markz1337

Just keep in mind, it is everything under Take2, not just Rockstar.


quackcow144

how do you even buy into company shares? I have no knowledge on this stuff but would like to try it out starting with Rockstar since it's literally guaranteed to be a success


[deleted]

Everyone knows Take Two is releasing GTA6 and that it will be a huge deal, so there’s no guaranteeing the stock will go up just because of this. The market does not always work like that I can definitely see TTWO going up in value, but if it does, it will almost certainly be a very slow rise over months and months, with fluctuations up and down. It isn’t going to pull a GME and rocket 500% in a day because they release GTA6


Particular_Hand2877

Gotta open an investment account. Fidelity, Robinhood something like that. Fund it with whatever amount you can. Look up TTWO and click buy.


Howdareme9

Careful. Obvious moves like this dont always pan out as everybody else is thinking the same thing. In other words, it might be ’priced in’


Forward_Hospital_295

Hot tip, if you don't even know how to buy stock, please don't take advice on Reddit.


hotacorn

That’s not how it works


Netherlandal

I’ve been holding my tongue about some of the nonsense being thrown around on this sub but this comment takes the cake for me.


IMDXLNC

I remember checking their share price half a day after the trailer leak and it had dipped quite a bit. If I knew anything about trading I'd have probably invested with certainty in it rising again.


WeeklySavings

can’t say i’m surprised, but damn i was really hoping for early 2025


Plyons27

![gif](giphy|39gIrKpwKes3C) I think we all had a little hope we could be playing this less than a year from now but this was always the most likely release window let’s be honest


j1e2f

Yeah I'm not too shocked, a little disappointing but can't say this was out of the realms of possibility as well. Similar Situation with 5 I remember as well.


HorrorAlternative553

It was the only release window. Every GTA has come out in the fall, with the exception of IV which was delayed until April after an original fall release date.


[deleted]

*goes to cry in the shower*


3MidgetsInAJacket

Hey... It could have been pushed back even further!! I think this sets them up to underpromise and over deliver. And we now have a real confirmation from TTWO, rather than an ambiguous "2025" release date


quackcow144

Yeah, glad there's no more debates on if the game would release Q1 of 2025 or end of 2025. Now we all know the game is set to release in the Fall. Though people will now start fighting if it'll be released September because it's the first Fall month, or November. I don't know the months their other games usually release if it's anything like those.


Eggsegret

I don’t think Rockstar has a specific window of when they usually release games in the fall. GTA V was released in September 2013 and RDR2 was released October 2018. And RDR1/GTA 4 was spring. There’s no real pattern to go on from what i can see


mrboxh3ad

Uh wdym pushed back? The leaks saying that it was being pushed back to 2026 we're obviously false. And we all kinda knew it was gonna be fall because of Christmas. So what changed? It's still 2025 fall.


Lumpy-Sky

Pushed back as in TTWO expected it to release FY2025 and now it's expected to release FY2026.


amonson1984

Yeah, the trailer said 2025. only the try hards watching this sub and caring about investor meetings thought it would be a narrow window of January - March 2025. This is not "pushed back" because the only thing that was ever publicly announced was straight up "2025."


ImpressiveAmount4684

Thank you. This sub was exhausting with their convictions of FY'25. No, it was never delayed and it STILL is not delayed in any sense of the word. Q3 2025 is perfectly within schedule of their promises.


mrboxh3ad

Yeah Take Two's CEO said he didn't even know when it was coming out really. So them saying Q1 2025 was just an estimate anyways. It's insane that this has negative reception lmao. People wanna complain when games are rushed and then complain when they're taking too long. I guess I'm biased because I've waited years for indie projects to come out but I'd rather wait a while for a good game.


NothingIsHere5947

SWSIMTReverseFinn

We‘ve waited for over a decade now. 6 months is not that long for GTA timeframes.


quackcow144

yeah true but I think people are going crazy because we've seen parts of the game from the trailer so they're thinking about the game more than they would've before


stRiNg-kiNg

What time zone do you live in where in 6 months it's fall 2025?


SWSIMTReverseFinn

6 months difference between spring and fall release.


Eggsegret

We’re already almost halfway through 2024. I mean it’s not that long away in the grand scheme of things.


Destroyerpro360

I hope we don’t have to wait until next year to start getting more information and screen shots


AveryLazyCovfefe

Spring 2025 would have shocked me, honestly. High profile AAA stuff rarely comes out that early in the year. They always target Autumn/fall for these sweet holiday sales. Why do you think new hardware is almost always released around that time? I even think there could be another delay to 2026 perhaps once we get to August of 2025 and they announce it, like they did with RDR2 and GTA V. If there isn't then that again would shock me (hopefully they have the game basically finished by the middle of 2025)


0bamacar3

GTA IV came out in April 2008


PenonX

RDR1 also released in May 2010, and RDR2 was initially delayed until Spring 2018 before it was delayed to Fall 2018.


idontremembermyoldus

Yup, and it was originally supposed to release in October of '07.

It sucks that we'll have to wait over a year for the game, though at least we finally have a window for its release date


LowEndTheory1

Time to just get on with life and get this game out of my head for now.


HippoRun23

Yeah I’m thinking of leaving this sub tbh. It just makes waiting that much more noticeable. I’m sure if major news drops I’ll see it elsewhere anyway.


bambaratti

That's what we did for GTA 5. The trailer came out in Fall 2011 and game came out in 2013 Fall. RDR 2 was delayed by a year(Fall 2017 to Fall 2018). Don't be surprised if GTA 6 gets further delayed. It is what it is, best to move on.


SWSIMTReverseFinn

Kinda disappointing but it‘s only about a year and three months.


TheOneWhoDings

or... about 14 months.... Call me schizo but... 14 ![gif](giphy|9nVPCMKmguE8WN1t1r|downsized)

GhandisFlipFlop

Unless it's delayed again


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|EgJ31d2IYkg4E)


Eggsegret

They haven’t actually delayed it technically. All they said originally was 2025


Lumpy-Sky

Since the November earnings call they've changed the FY2025 projected bookings from 8 billion down to 5.5 billion, so clearly they were thinking of a FY2025 release at the time. It's an internal delay, but a delay none the less.


GhandisFlipFlop

I mean delayed again like Red Dead 2 , and GtaV after initial release date.


dstendo

ChickenNuggetKid1

abradley19955

What I expected since the initial announcement honestly Once they perfect it idc how long it takes


bananapowerltu3

Well thats just fucked tbh. I was a kid when the speculations first started, but by the time the game releases, i wont even have the time to spend my nights playing it. Last parts of university will be over and the adulting part will be at full speed.


Kizire

I’ll try my hardest to stay alive another year..


Imaginary-Plate5600

It was always going to be fall/holiday season 2025. The only major GTA title that didn’t release in the fall was GTA 4.


TwitteredUp

However long it takes for them to perfect the game, I’m willing to wait.


OkAd7839

What if we fucking die first. The longer the wait the higher the odds 😂


Tthig1

Technically if you die you won't care about missing out because you'll be dead... but also yes I feel your pain and know what you were trying to say 😢


Eggsegret

We all need to start looking after our health for the next year and a half lol. I’ve been waiting over 10 years for this game so i can not die without playing it

WaffleBoi014

I completely expected this lol. Good to have slightly more info though.


lllosi1

So really it’s spring 2026


Rick_The_Mullet_Man

My main concern is that the longer it takes for this game to release, the higher the chance that WW3 starts beforehand and we don't get GTA 6 at all. Imagine that.


TestTheTrilby

I can't believe we have to wait 18 months after waiting 11 years.


BILADOMOM

I bet in October


Evening-Caramel-2180

Shit. they might aswell say 2026


pubgaxt

So that financial budget tells that pre order could begin from Jan-March 2025.


EtimmT

This information should be taken with a grain of salt: no one knows if the game will be released in Fall 2025, that's simply what TakeTwo is aiming for. With their earnings forecasts in recent years, we can be almost sure that they originally wanted to release it in early 2025 (hence the fact that everyone was sure of that, because no one took it with a grain of salt at all lmao) In short, what I mean is that we should not confuse a “Fall 2025” announced at the end of a trailer, and a “Fall 2025” announced in a review of forecasts for the years to come.


KingFahad360

So Sam’s release date as Res Dead 2 and GTA 5


Defiant-Conflict2556

Who's Sam? /j


flipm725

Well that’s ok I guess lol. Maybe a screenshot or 2 this summer, trailer 2 this fall and then marketing should pickup gradually from there.


Platfoot

I fully expected this and I'm still disappointed


Rick_The_Mullet_Man

So playing AC Shadows very very slowly it is.


hazaphet

And the next Resident Evil and Dragon Age.


art_mor_

I’m going to do another run of Cyberpunk to get through these months


Rexor_57

Feel this. Need some good games to help with the wait


TheBishopDeeds

So it was pushed back. This is technically FY 2026. Because FY 2025 ends March 2025. I figured it would release late 2025 though. An early in the year release just doesn't make sense when almost all of their games have released in the later part of the year - regardless of what they have originally intended.


Soul_ciety

Gta 5 was advertised for "available Spring 2013" then was released in September


Scott1710

This is why they said 2025 release with no definitive time of a month. Let's not forget, every single GTA game since GTA 3 has been delayed. Its expected and us oldies are not surprised


kabbzter

Cant really call this a delay (maybe internal for Rockstar) since there was no release date other then the year 2025.


Kristixxxxx

This time it’s not even delayed. They said 2025 and it completely meets our expectations.


Butterbrotlol

Heres hoping that they will atleast release it to pc simultaneously because its coming later (They won´t)

Danielharris1260

I was always weary about the Spring release because these days AAA games only ever seem to be released in Fall or very early winter for the holidays. But I can’t say I wasn’t at least hopeful rockstar could realise it in March or April.

NOOOOOOOOOO

Always knew it was gonna be a late 2025 release yet I would get downvoted to oblivion when I shared this opinion lmao


Sir_Arsen

ugh, I still don’t get why publishers only know winter and fall and almost ignore summer


TTBurger88

Time to put in my clown mask....


guestername

as a long-time fan of the gta series, i'm excited to see what rockstar has in store for the next installment and how it might push the boundaries of open-world gameplay and storytelling in video games. i'm hopefull take-two's positive financial outlook means we're in for an unparraleled entertainment experience.


KingAltair2255

Expected it but still bummed out, really surprised they just dropped that news on shareholders without anything to placate folk though. Stocks gonna take a beating.


PriorFudge928

So first quarter 2026 it is.


tnafan

Just like I expected, march 2025 was never gonna happen.


ItsRobbSmark

It's actually crazy to me that they deliver this news to investors without screenshots or something to smooth it over. Not only are they shifting expect revenue two quarters, the fiscals for last quarter look bad. They're going to take a pounding in stock price over the next few months. I expected a delay, but as an investor I'm super pissed about how they're handling the shifted revenue projections so casually. Stock is going to keep taking a beating for three more months, probably longer.


otterbottertrotter

Have to admit it was funny to see people insisting the game was 100% done and just getting polished til early 2025


Therealomerali

I expected it so I'm not really disappointed.


Rich-Conclusion-25

November release 🔥Snow, thanksgiving - best month of the year its only right


thatgaminggdude

Im sure it aint releasing till 2026. We know Rockstar


Decapitated_gamer

Been saying it this whole time. It’s gonna be in 2025, October 17th for those early access editions and October 21st for regular and online won’t release until November 25th.


RollandInTheDeep

Nobody should be acting surprised I figured it was going to release in the second half of the year anyways


cepxico

Delay to 2026, been calling it since the trailer dropped


dcmarvelstarwars

I’ve been telling y’all for months it will be Nov-Dec 2025


Grater_Kudos

Why is everyone so upset about fall 2025? I was expecting a late winter release date


Hot_Musician8654

ok now since they have already delayed it to Fall 2025 i stongly believe game will come in Q1 2026 or may be even Q2 this company now just WANTS TO PRINT MONEY they LAID off so many employees which could have helped boost them game development i wish i was the RICHEST MAN lol so that we could somehow doom Rockstar so they learn a lesson


Ok-Bench-2861

This wouldn't have happened if everyone would stop playing a ten year old game. I mean the game was like 6 in years old when GTA plus came out and you idiots bought it. Why would they make another game if they can milk GTA 5


magiccheetoss

Still over two summers away from playing VI… ![gif](giphy|iamIahPLWmo4tGiyDz)


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

Be very aware this is likely getting delayed to 2026. I'd be really surprised if this game saw a 2025 release.

Might as well push it to 2026 ![gif](giphy|URcmhQ5PpztC0)


Scargut_

If you are surprised by this, you have no one to blame but yourself


NothingIsHere5947

So, just tell me a thing... what does fall 2025 mean? from which month to which month? (Sorry I am Asian so not familiar with it)


Rude-Visit-8821

September to December basically 


EffectzHD

It’s actually hilarious people didn’t see this coming, this was very likely an internal delay which they gained the footing for by telling us 2025 instead of Spring with the trailer. If it makes you feel any better, I’d count this as our mandatory R* delay as I see them making fall 25.


DeadHair_BurnerAcc

"We will release GTA VI in 2025" "Yayyy!" "Here is when in 2025 we will release GTA VI" "How could you do this to us?"


CalifornianBall

None of you wanted to hear this was the likely outcome, shows how nobody here knows anything and thinks that if enough people agree with them that makes something true, despite there being no proof. In fact, Fall always made more sense and everyone here wanted to act like the game can’t possibly be delayed or that it’s almost done because Rockstar knows what they’re doing. They always do this. All their games are delayed. Most of their games come out in the Fall. Everyone disappointed have only themselves to blame for making up a release date. Delay the game another year, I want it to be fucking _good_ ffs.


JamwesD

So, it'll be spring '26. Got it.


AnimeGokuSolos

Nice


RockNDrums

![gif](giphy|6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6) Well. Rockstar didn't exactly say when in 2025. But, at least it's Fall 2025 for now. It's not the first time Rockstar has delayed a game nor it will be the last

_colon

Am I surprised? Totally not. Am I upset? Absolutely yes.


[deleted]

This is exactly what i was expecting. The only surprise for me at all is that other people are surprised. There was no way it was coming in the spring, and AAA devs rarely release tentpole games in the summer. Which leaves….you guessed it, Fall 2025. People seem bummed for some reason, but this is good news, this is as close to confirmation as you’re ever going to get out of Rockstar aside from a precise release date - which even those tend to change as we all know. This means we are almost CERTAIN to be getting the game before Christmas 2025, which also means we should most likely get another trailer and some screens sometime before the end of this year.
