Exactly. They will sell a ton to everyone with the existing consoles while they’re at their maximum existing user base, and they’ll sell a ton of remasters/upgrades to everyone once they have the new round of consoles in hand. They’ll also likely hold out on a PC release until sales on consoles start to dwindle.

Geez.

CARROT, my homicidal weather app, just said delayed until 2032.

She’s probably closer to the truth.

Honestly I just assumed this anyway.

I’m kind of over GTA anyways. I rebought GTA V a few months ago. Played for a while and it’s not bad but I got bored with it pretty fast. I think I prefer other games at this point. I’d have more interest in a new RDR.

Pretty sure nobody is surprised by this - I said Christmas of next year - I was close.

Rumor now is that it will only drop digitally on release and won't be available on physical until weeks or even months later. The reasoning is to prevent story or gameplay leaks. Definitely just a rumor for now but it's a pretty big one, so I thought I'd post on it:

GTA 6: New Information Surfaces Online Claiming That the Upcoming Title Will Not Have a Physical Release at Launch; Here Is What We Know

Great way to get physical collector's to double dip.

It's also funny that the year options on the poll didn't extend far enough.

I am surprised this bump wasn’t another delay.

Games like this I put off for a year (or sometimes more) to play until all the bugs are worked out. I let you guys be the guinea pigs.

I hear Tool is doing the soundtrack for GTA 6.

As exciting as a new GTA game is, I’m in agreement here. I’ll wait a bit longer for the PC release, too.
That said, this will be a game that gets the remaining stragglers to pick up a PS5 or PS5 Pro.

Games like this?
I understand doing that for games that get rushed out to release, but this game is the exact opposite of that.

I assume they meant open world sandbox games. Tend to release buggier than linear games since it's impossible to test everything players can do.

Ok, so take 2 made an announcement that the game is without question releasing in November and there will be a physical release at launch - glad to hear that for sure.

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has addressed several major rumors surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) in early Feb. 2026, confirming the game’s schedule and dismissing claims about its release format and development.
Here are the key rumors cleared up by Take-Two:

• Physical Release Confirmed: Zelnick directly refuted rumors that Rockstar Games would skip a physical launch or delay physical discs to 2027 to avoid leaks. He confirmed that physical copies are planned for the launch.
• Release Date Solidified: Amidst rumors of further, deeper delays, Take-Two reaffirmed that GTA 6 is on track for November 19, 2026.
• No Generative AI: Zelnick confirmed that generative AI plays "zero part" in the development of GTA 6. He stated that Rockstar’s worlds are "handcrafted" and not procedurally generated.
• Marketing Strategy: While rumors suggested a very quiet rollout, Zelnick stated that major marketing efforts will begin in the summer of 2026.
• Development Status: Despite rumors that the game was not "content complete," Take-Two expressed high confidence in the November 2026 release date, noting that the company is "pushing hard to seek perfection".

These updates were provided during Take-Two’s Q3 2026 earnings report, aiming to stabilize speculation around the,, arguably biggest entertainment release in history.

Would you guys buy this game physically? Seems like the sort of game I would prefer digitally, especially with the inevitable next Gen update a couple of years down the road.

Exactly the type I buy digitally. This, ES, Fallout, FF, etc.
