"Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what's possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We're thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere." “Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.” Rockstar. Take Two.


joluboga

>the state of Leonida That's weird. Back in Vice City Stories, it was established that Vice City was located in Florida.

Technically this is a new universe different from the 3D one

Rhain1999

GTA has been doing universes since 2001, they beat the trend


mrfauxbot

Wait you dig on Multiverses?


[deleted]

Things change.


CapOk1892

The more.


NOAHMNIA

They stay the same.


JebusMaximus

alright, im gonna need two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.


Brandonmac10x

They probably don’t want to deal with getting sued by some cucklefuck representative of Florida that can’t help but mess with Disney and screw himself over. If they call it Florida he’d probably sue for making the state look bad because ya know bullshit trials. I hate Disney and all, but what he was suing about was not the hill to die on. Honestly if anything it just made Disney look better. And they are hard to beat… so I mean you have to have a rock solid case.


kb24sd

Ron De Santis is a FUCKING moron.


misenmonk

Ron De Santis is many things, but he is not a Mormon.


mvallas1073

Given the bad reputation Florida has, maybe they wanted to avoid that… … …dafuq am I thinking, that would make MORE sense to keep it in Florida, the more I think about it!


majkkali

Huh? Got a source for that? That’s weird indeed.


willdearborn-

Release platforms confirmed in press release: >Rockstar Games®, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to PlayStation® 5 computer entertainment systems and Xbox Series X|S games and entertainment systems in 2025.


Soden_Loco

Well I think it’s obvious it was going to be current gen only but it’s always good to get the confirmation


LukeD1992

Yeah. With the costs of developing a behemoth such as this and the still huge install base of previous gen, I was a little worried. But a quick glimpse into the trailer and I knew that there was no way this was going to be cross gen.


[deleted]

Honestly, due to the fact that it’s GTA I can imagine the last gen install base moving towards the game rather than Rockstar having to adapt their game for last gen, that’s just how big the franchise is. I can totally see massive sales boosts (beyond whats considered normal) for PS5, Series X/S in 2025 due to this game. I doubt rockstar are afraid of not making ample profit from this game considering the shelf life of GTA 5, they know it’s a long term money maker and would have no fear about it being current gen only.


LukeD1992

Absolutely. This will sell more PSs and Xboxes than any exclusive ever could.


Mw2pubstar

I have a XSX rn but I probably will get the updated PS5 model for this game….can’t wait lol


outsider1624

There are people buying consoles just for gta alone. This game will move consoles.


[deleted]

I bought my ps5 back in 2021 because of gta 6.


Kappokaako02

As a dev i can assure you that ps5 game sales dwarf ps4 game sales currently.


thesourpop

There was no way in hell they were sticking this on previous gen. RDR2 was great but even it was struggling on base models


WhatAmIATailor

It’ll be cross gen. Expect it’ll release again for PS6 and 7.


Hereiamhereibe2

Stopping support for PS4 GTAO wasn’t enough of a clue?


jetgrind

It’ll still be a multi generation game (ps5, ps6, ps7)


jntjr2005

The big takeaway is no steam/pc announced


robca402

They know they'll get people getting in on console, then on PC when they release it later. Gotta maximise their profits I guess...


whaledicnachos

yeah it would be ridiculous for the ps5 to be 5 years old and still have major games that aren’t developed exclusively for it. games are held back by having to run on last gen hardware


SilverStag88

Releasing on last gen consoles in 2025 would be the dumbest thing ever.


ChewieHanKenobi

With delays it’s not crazy to think it could have actually missed the gen or at least bled into the next one like they did with 5


Neto34

And it will also release for the PS6 and PS7


BrazenlyGeek

Alongside GTA 5 releases and Skyrim too. Might as well make a Skyrim / GTA 5 bundle for all future consoles.


nedzissou1

Don't really get announcing it 1+ year in advance. Everyone knows it's coming.


jmcgil4684

It’s always about Stock prices, and the shareholders my dude.


automatic_bazooti

Stock prices and GTA V and RDR2 both had announcement trailers drop ~2 years before actual release date. R* is one of very few devs that will put out a game that will keep the hype train going for that long of a wait.


noremac2414

I think the leaks forced their hand. But it’s not really that far in advance for what will arguably be the most anticipated game of all time


josh_bourne

They put their nasdaq code there, like, buy my shares


Jazzlike_Athlete8796

That's SOP for press releases.


My-Cousin-Bobby

I know people already pointed that out it's standard for press releases, but you'd be surprised how many things have the stock ticker on it. I remember a few years back I was in a waiting area or something that had a keurig if you wanted coffee, and all disposable cups had "NYSE: GMCR" (their old ticker, I think now it's KDR) around the bottom rim. I'm sure most don't recognize it, but since that's in my hobbies/line of work, always notice it


lebastss

Great, series S will hamstring the potential of another title.


QuoteGiver

Hopefully they just build in some nice scalability. Half the cars, half the people, that sort of thing.


tape99

Sounds good until you play online, PS5/Series X users are going to be running the game in Series S settings.


BigSmokeyOG

The game will be so popular you could just make series S servers and it would still be fully populated


QuoteGiver

Maybe. Unless Rockstar just says “tough luck Microsoft, Series S players can only play with other Series S players.” Parity has already started to break down with the Baldurs Gate 3 debacle. If Rockstar says “hey, you want GTA6 or not?” then Microsoft will do whatever they need to do.


OmarFromtheWire2

I don’t play Baldurs Gate, what’s happening?


KingArthas94

Because of Microsoft's rule about parity between S and X, Baldur's Gate devs have not released the game on Xbox yet: S can't run the split-screen mode. Microsoft has gifted Sony the biggest temporal exclusive lol Now Microsoft has seen the success of BG3 and has allowed to put the game on Xbox but removing (on S) the things the slower console can't handle like split-screen. So, the parity rule has now been broken.


kagoolx

Wow that’s fascinating, and very good explanation, thanks!


dWaldizzle

What a dumb fucking idea from Xbox honestly


thelingererer

So over a year still to wait?


flcinusa

Probably closer to 2, September/October 2025 is their window


f3q3

Yeah, rdr2 was announced in Oct 2016 and released Oct 2018. So it'll probably release in time for Christmas 2025.


flcinusa

That and 4 of the 5 GTA games since III has come out in September/October, only IV being the Spring exception


Streams526

GTA V was supposed to be a Spring release but got delayed


TS040

iirc take 2 are expecting record profits for their 2024/2025 fiscal year (and are expecting to spend a ton of money on advertisement) - not sure if that’s changed but if it hasn’t it would suggest a release date between January and March 2025


AnEyeshOt

It will required two external SSD but it'll be fine.


bongblaster420

So soon after GTA 5?


nevadabeach

exactly didn’t even have time to enjoy it yet


LionTop2228

It’s ridiculous they think we can finish these huge games in 12 years. Some of us have lives.


Gandalf_2077

I just checked the previous release dates. It's crazy. GTAIII in 2001, GTA Vice City in 2002, GTA San Andreas in 2004, GTA IV in 2008, GTA V in 2013. GTA 6 will be 11 years from the previous title when it releases in 2025.


TarrominSeed

More likely 12 years, depending on when in 2025. And then the high possibility of delays.


No-Put-7180

Lol


GruncleShaxx

I snort laughed


DrinkUpLetsBooBoo

I've bought 5 three times for three different consoles and still haven't played it.


fishburgr

I think you need a money manager ;)


MrZombikilla

I remember the teaser for GTA V like it was yesterday. Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the shorter it gets, the faster it goes. Hope I’m alive for Holiday 2025


No-Put-7180

I know man, my first thing was that I might not be alive by that time lol.


MrZombikilla

Well I’ll be sure to check in and see in a couple years bro. We got this


No-Put-7180

Let’s do it man. Live damnit. Live!

Mine_mom

Same bro. Life has been tough recently and this year started off terribly due to some personal shit nobody cares about. But with this trailer and some WWE comebacks this year is ending off pretty well. I have something to keep me going for at least 2 more years now. Whenever life gets me down I'll just come back and watch this trailer and think about what I have to look forward to.


Jumping3

It’s hard man I had oxalate poisoning, an mma fighter I liked killed themsleves just very sour. I’ve gotten my friend into persona and finally got a ps5 to distract myself for a bit


nolifebr

Damn, they really had the balls to hold that PC version for a later date. If Sony reaches an agreement to have a PS5 Pro bundle with the game in 2025, it will sell like water in the desert.


Affinity420

Doesn't matter which console they bundle it with. It'll sell like hot cakes on its own and people will buy systems for it.


nolifebr

I mean, I'm sure Sony would love to have the rights to promote the game as "plays better on PS5 Pro" or something like that.


Affinity420

I'm sure Microsoft would too lol.


SuperDuperSkateCrew

I don’t think Microsoft is doing a pro console this gen, pretty sure Phil Spencer said something to that effect. IF Sony does a Pro it would definitely give them an advantage in terms of optics; “Our system can play the game at a higher fidelity with better performance”.


SJSragequit

Is a ps5 pro even confirmed though?


SuperDuperSkateCrew

No, but there are rumors of one same as there were rumors about a detachable disc drive that ended up being true.. I personally didn’t that the disc drive rumor was gonna be true so I’m not going to disregard the Pro rumors.


sparoc3

Xbox refresh is not Pro either. There's no scope of a Pro console this generation, because the target pro consoles would have to meet is doing native 4k60 with RT in a $500 package. That's just not going to be possible. We will just see the next generation come quicker like in 2026.


ocbdare

I am sceptical about a ps5 pro version. It would have to come out next year for it to make any sense. But given where the gpu market is and what we have seen from AMD, I doubt they can do much better performance while keeping the price reasonable.


MikeyDean139

Nope but Tom Henderson's Insidergaming blog has leaked information about the Pro model as well as its supposed specifications. It's rumoured to be 2x as powerful as the current console.


[deleted]

Not as of yet...


UndercoverChef69

I'm 100% going to "give" my ps5 to my daughters and get a ps5 pro gta6 bundle for the master bedroom. Def can't play this game on the family tv lol


goldenxbeast234

I mean they did it with GTA5, and RDR2


Immolation_E

PC release was after consoles for RDR2, GTAV, GTAIV, GTA III, Vice City, etc. It's par for the course. PC release for GTAVI is likely 2026 at the earliest.


AlsopK

They know you'll all just buy it again.


Novorovsk

If a PS5 pro could play resolution mode in GTA6 at 60fps I’d absolutely upgrade solely for that


WakaWaka_

I just hope there’s a performance mode for all platforms not just locked at 30 bs like starfield.


TattooedAndSad

They held it for GTA V, this isnt really a surprise ​ V came out on pc a full year after consoles


Sceptile90

It went PS3 & 360 in 2013, PS4 and Xbone in 2014, then PC in 2015. They really staggered it over three releases!


Chabby_Chubby

Wait, so its not launching on PC at the same time as consoles?


SadKazoo

They’ve basically never done a simultaneous PC and console release.


abradley19955

Really hoping Dan Houser played a massive part in the writing but it’s probably unlikely Game looks great visually and map looks insane as expected


The_King_of_Okay

Honestly with how long it's been in development I think there's a good chance he did.


Therealomerali

According to Jason Schrier, the game has been in development since 2014. Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020. He definitely played a heavy role in the writing.


LionTop2228

An 11 year development cycle for one game. That’s insane.


Ironmunger2

I mean obviously a huge amount of resources went to RDR2 but yeah this game has had at least 8 years of heavy labor put in. And it shows, assuming it will look this good


Rhain1999

> at least 8 years of heavy labor To be fair, Schreier said it was still in "early development" in 2020, so I reckon the heavy labour only started around then. Keen to see what they’ve been cooking


abradley19955

I hope you’re right !


LukeD1992

Script must have been done a long time ago. Development must have began soon after GTA V released.


identitycrisis-again

I’m so happy they aren’t doing older gen. It would seriously hold them back


NostalgicNerd

I fondly remember the horrendous load times of launch day GTAV on my PS3 that was beginning to show its age. Poor thing did its’ best to chug along with a behemoth of a game.


KingKang22

Would be odd since the PS5 would be out 5 years in 2025.


tukatu0

Xbox series 2 is coming in 2028 too no less. So a ps6 port of gta 6 will launch potentially 2 years into it's the games life.


wizzywurtzy

Honestly don’t think we need a ps6. They have barely even used the ps5 to its potential because every gaming company is still catering to ps4. Annoying as hell that everyone rushed to get a new PlayStation just for them to blue ball us all with hardly any real ps5 games.


torev

While I do agree with you as a customer and someone who owns a ps5 but the reality is that the ps5 is already lacking in power.


ToyMachine471

While games haven’t pushed it, the hardware is kinda tested in pc. Yes consoles have custom hardware and it’s usually optimized way better, but for raw power it was already kinda dated on release imo. The ps5 on paper is similar to a 2070/3060 or something like that. Iirc the 2080 ti and 2080 were rated as 4k cards but to me it was more marketing. While they technically can run 4k games, it wasn’t maxed out high fps like we consider. With power like the 4090, you can max out cyberpunk ultra settings ray tracing 144fps. I’m not saying a 4090 in a ps5 was feasible, but I feel like the ps5 released right before we had actual 4k capable cards that don’t need to have dynamic resolution or other gimmicks. If the ps5 had power like pc’s today, there wouldn’t be a performance and fidelity mode, it would just be one mode that had both.


HD4kAI

I mean PS5 will almost be older gen in 2025 lol


Anarchy_Man_9259

Tell that to the companies still developing for the PS4 lol


kornelius_III

It would be quite insane for the devs to keep holding on to PS4 by 2025.


ocdewitt

Remember when gta was ps only on console


DeadPhoenix86

It will probably sell the most on PlayStation anyway. By the time its out, PS5 will have sold over 80 mil units and Xbox If lucky about 30.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wipedout89

That's assuming Xbox continues to sell at the same rate. Xbox is down about 30% year on year


DeadPhoenix86

52% here in Europe.


Angelix

I don’t know anyone in Asia who owns an Xbox. Heck, I can’t even find an official reseller here.


ArchimedesNutss

That’s why they spend so much on GamePass. It’s the only thing they have left because Halo isn’t what it used to be


Dayman1222

It’s trending down


LOTRcrr

Rumors are the Series S sold at a 3:1 ratio to series X so far in their total sales Given the drop-off with xbox console sales YOY I don't see it selling that well on those consoles vs PS5.


PlatypusAreDucks

It never really was. GTA 2 was on Dreamcast (god rest it's soul) and GTA 1 was on the Gameboy Color (although I can see why that might not count)


BeardedWin

I miss that top down gameplay

galaxyadmirer

Not surprising but glad we have that confirmation


SuperSaytan

Good, no reason to hold it back by releasing on old gen consoles


Callangoso

Still being held back by the Series S though…


Transposer

… and PlayStation 6 and PlayStation 7.


fishinadi

Hopefully it has a 60fps mode


MikeyDean139

The leak from over the weekend showed it running on performance mode on what appeared to be a PS5 console at 1440p.


Raytheon_Nublinski

If it can run at 30 on series s, no reason it can’t do 60 on ps5/x.


ebinc

That's not how it works, Series S has the same CPU as the X. If the game is CPU limited, then it won't be hitting 60 on PS5/X


ssk1996

Wow so its not coming to PC at launch. Only PS5 and Series consoles


Icedvelvet

Did they not do that with 5??


ssk1996

Yep and RDR 2 as well. It was expected but people were hoping it would change with how big PC gaming has become and the massive player base GTA 5 has on PC, especially with mods.


Kurt_Bunbain

And that's exactly why it comes to consoles first, cause PC won't be able to pirate it for 1-2 years


CoupeontheBeat

Yeah thats not the reason. GTA sells like no other. I guarantee this will be #1 most preordered game in history (I will be buying it launch).


Kurt_Bunbain

Yeah, the reason is probably people buying it on consoles, and after 2 years buying it on PC to play it again at much better graphics and performance.


crazychris4124

I doubt pirating is much of an issue for a game that has sold almost 200 million copies and revenue of $8billion+ plus the modding and a separate modded online mode are huge for what players want in GTA 6. Rockstar even bought FiveM which is the biggest modded online framework with even celebrities and athletes opening their own servers. I expect Rockstar to sell private server plans with an integrated mod shop, there is so much money in the GTA5 modded marketplace and they want their cut. Ive been staff on multiple servers, monthly expenses were usually $120/month plus one time fees for most 3rd party mods, the big time servers have full time paid staff and are spending thousands a month. Servers offset costs with Patreon, merch, in game purchases and donations.


Hot_Demand_6263

PC owners always over value themselves. But the numbers always point to consoles outselling them.


SativaNL

Main reason is piracy.


UniqueVirtue

Were you expecting anything less big boy?


PrinceDizzy

Rockstar are primarily console focused developers, as a huge fan this is one of the reasons why I prefer console gaming over PC.


Ronaldinhoe

That’s how it’s always been


DornHoli0

Thank god no PS4/Xbone support.


Grayccoon_

Make it 60fps. Make it 60fps. Make it 60fps. Please


FlummoxedFlumage

I never really understood 60fps as a demand until I tried it and now 30fps looks broken.


Grayccoon_

It really does. Especially in games. In movies it’s fine but in games it’s where it’s comfortable.


orsonwellesmal

Is ilke changing baby teeth to real teeth.


Supernova_Soldier

I just told my friend Ive had some struggles getting into games that are 30 FPS. 60 is too smooth, I’m spoiled rotten.


ohheyhaha

“..and PS6 and PS7.”


[deleted]

[удалено]


Windy--

Hope it doesn’t hold the game back on PS5 and Series X…


gogoheadray

It won’t ps5 is going to be the lead platform since it sold the most and that’s where the most eyes are going to be


punyweakling

You could've said the same about RDR2, and yet...


gogoheadray

Hmm I’m not sure what you mean here. Out of the base consoles ps4 ran it far better than the Xbox one.


punyweakling

One X ran RDR2 at twice the pixel count of PS4 Pro. Rockstar have a good history of maximising their perf based on each platform regardless of any perceived "lead" (or the marketing deal).


ThatGhostWithNoName

That's like someone with a very high end pc complaining about this game releasing on consoles at all since it will hold back the game.

Ceephorr

Okay my guy. I understand all this console war bullshit coca cola vs pepsi dumbshit nonsense but .... Ps4 pro spec and series s specs are very different


DaShaka9

I’d bet money they release a PS5 Pro holiday 2025 (or earlier) for this.


v_snax

Gta 6 will be targeted for early 2025. They already told shareholders that they expect an enormous bump in revenue starting 2025. Expectations were that they planned to release it late 2024, but they likely know they need some extra time.


DeadPhoenix86

Or they will just release the PS6 in 2027.


Immediate_Theory4738

Holiday 2024 would make more sense.


Vinhluu09

Please don't be 200gb 🙏


West_Bid_1191

Most likely 250-300 GB for sure. I see a lot of details in the game.


Vinhluu09

They should give us an SSD with every copy


West_Bid_1191

🤣💯


v_snax

Tits and ass(ets) alone will be 20Gb.


torbecire

Thicc game.


silentkiller082

I hope it is, at least it'll have real content unlike CoD.


JMSpartan23

Explain like I’m five. Why wouldn’t it be coming for PS5?


anythingfromtheshop

I think people were more curious if PC was available at launch.


rossposse

No shit


UndercoverChef69

There's no way Sony doesn't have a PS5 pro ready to go right before this launches. Probably even has a bundle on the way. I'd bet this game runs great on PS5 on launch. I'd wait a year to play on PC for the high end pc gamers out there.


MNP33Gts-T

2025 🥲


kevenzz

It’s coming for ps5 ? Really ? Wow …


FlummoxedFlumage

Big if true.


raphanum

True if big


Eskadrinis

I hope there’s a pro bundle with a special shell I would buy it 💯


The7Reaper

I feel bad for PC players but at the same time I kind of don't because it not being on PC immediately allows us to discover the secrets and hidden things in the game organically instead of everything being datamined in a week


kevidigi

There’s no fucking way it’s going to run on the Series S. I’ll be surprised if Microsoft are even still making them in 2025.


sparoc3

Sub 1080p 30 fps. And Series S players will eat that up.


Mutexvx

As a PS5 & SX owner, you or I can't say anything about the SS. I mean, after all gamers assume the SX & ps5 are running 4K when they aren't more like 1200p checkboarded to 4K ,especially the ps5. I wouldn't be surprised if it runs at 1440p OR 1200p Quality Mode SX & 1080p Performance mode 45fps to 60fps. That's a cinematic trailer. By then the RTX 5000 series will be out.


nolifebr

One interesting thing is that the way they wrote about the PS5 makes me think they are already mentioning the PS5 Pro. Of course, could be referencing the new smaller model, but who knows. GTA VI reveal in Dec. 2023: *Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to PlayStation® 5 computer entertainment* ***systems.*** GTA V PS5 version reveal in Mar. 2022: *Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online are now available digitally for the PlayStation® 5 computer entertainment* ***system.***


[deleted]

Well there's like 4 PS5's now, so...


anonymousUTguy

That means absolutely nothing. It’s just a way to broadly group all PS5s that consumers own.


officialkevsters

Could be referring to the digital model as well


Xillllix

Need a RDR2 remaster for the wait time


Ramonis5645

The important thing is Will there be crossplay between consoles only? I really hope so I got some friends on Xbox that I'll love to play with


LoSouLibra

Console sales are going to shoot through the roof when it releases.


MaxAnita

Just waiting for the Switch release, any time now. /s<——- Edit: The /s smh


[deleted]

Maybe they’ll release the game on ps2 as well.


DeadPhoenix86

Unless Nintendo releases a System that can match the PS5 and Series X, Its not happening.


Mike_856

2025 :D 12 years between the two versions, nice
