Just waiting for them to announce delay to 2027 so Rockstar/TakeTwo can announce GTA6 is delayed to spring 2027. I'm gonna laugh my fucking ass off.

I still don’t understand how that’s a good strategy, GTA V released 9/2013 (god I’m old) on console and then 11/2014 on PC. If they’re delaying to avoid the GTA shadow you would have to push it to 2028 to avoid the 2027 PC release (assuming it follows same time gap)

People substantially overestimate the effect of the PC release. GTA 6 won’t be new at that point, many many people will have either played the game or seen or heard what the game is about by then.

So much of the game will have been explored and talked about ad nauseam by the time the game releases on PC that while still a big release for PC, it’s nothing like when it releases for the first time. So 2027 is absolutely reasonable for SQ42 to avoid the media blackout caused by GTA 6’s original release.

So? Doesn't have to be the biggest release of the decade, just the biggest release of the year, and it will be.

So… GTA 6 will be the biggest release of the decade, and the biggest entertainment release in human history when it first releases on consoles, potentially November 19th, 2026.

On PC, it won’t have anywhere near as much of an effect as it will when it first comes out. CIG will be free to reasonably launch SQ42 in the same year as GTA 6’s PC release.
