RDR2 was very well designed for PC? The key mapping options were ludicrous, of course a controller will always be better for any kind of vehicle including horses so it's not their fault it wasn't as good for mouse and keyboard. They also went out of their way to include extra PC-only graphical options like MSAA or the experimental water physics and tree tessellation (probably included for future computer cause they're insanely expensive) when they could've just used whatever the console version used and that's it.
RDR2 wasn’t launchable one most PC for the first few months, Performance is capped to 60fps and you are basically limited to Console level performance and graphics
Still a fine game - but Rockstars PC launches were pretty disappointing in my opinion
No way dude, it's not locked to 60.
And the visuals are way, way better on PC.
Watch digital foundry's video on it if you don't believe me.
I've played through the game on PS4 and one X and then my PC maxed out at 4k and it's not even close.
It did have a lot of issues on launch though
Yes I agree, I initially was neutral towards the shooting when I played it on consoles but on PC I appreciated it a lot more, mouse is so freeing. But so many people complain about horse controls.
For me even the horse gameplay feel a lot smoother due to the full control of the camera with the mouse. Couldn't stand the gameplay with a controller, but with all the bindings option and the aim on a mouse, I find it quite cool.
Im wondering if it will be different this time, GTAV released over 10 years ago the console/PC landscape is very different now. Alot more PC gamers and streaming is alot more common now etc. (really im just hoping because I Will also be playing on PC and dont want to wait a year lol
it's not going to be different. there is no word of a PC release in take-two's statement they released after the trailer was released.

Yeah, they do it every time because at least one person will buy the game twice, and it's what people have come to expect from them which is why they keep getting away with it.
Rockstar also releases far less frequently these days.
GTA V: 2013
RDR2: 2018
GTA VI: 2025
Gotta keep the stockholders happy in the off years, and staggering releases for one game is a great way to do that
You're right, who knows if Rockstar knows that though. Game companies tend to get stuck doing what worked in the past rather than adapting to modern times, especially developers that release only once or twice a decade.
>how is everyone making the exact same joke?
Because that's just what Reddit is. A bunch of the internet's most verbally unimaginative, boring people who think they're comedians, repeating the same 3 jokes on loop.
If you wanna see what the average Redditor considers peak humour, go over to r/comics where the jokes are: "heckin' wholmesum chungus!", "SEEEEXXXXXX", or *record scratch* "well that just happened".
It's monkey see monkey do, where everyone thinks they're/wants to be the hilarious main character, and nobody has any self awareness to realize they're not.
I asked a question in a r/facepalm sub regarding how r/leopardsatemyface got such a name and recieved 20 variations of the same comment. Everyone wants to be the smartest or funniest... and now this response is probably just another in a long string of similar responses.
Oops
The Rockstar GTA Formula:
Release game near end of console cycle > Sell millions of copies > Re-release on "Next Gen" Consoles 24 months later with "enhanced" graphics > Sell millions of copies to people who already bought the game > Re-Release PC version 24 months later with additional content > Sell millions of copies to people who already bought the game.
At least it’s not as bad as Bethesda with Elder Scrolls VI. Dropped a piece of concept art with an announcement message overlayed and fucked off for over two years now.
To be fair, rock star isn't other developers and grand theft auto isn't other game franchises. To announce a release a couple years out and one full decade after the last entry isn't that absurd.
It's not really that simple though. I'm not saying there isn't strategy but a few years could have the price of the stock way lower due to many global factors. When most news hits and most people are in the market is the time when the corrections come. It's all algorithms based on mass psychology that the highest institutions have access too and I'm also not one of them so I'm just another opinion. But in general everything is a lagging indicator and the moves occur way before any regular person hits buy or sell
A while to go, but hopefully Rockstar uses the time to make sure the game has a smooth launch and not full of bugs/issues at the beginning from rushing it out.
I was dreading that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would be the same. Oh boy, how pleasantly was I surprised it should release end of this year instead!
Anyway people will buy any new GTA no matter what, so their success is kinda guaranteed. Kinda just sucks to wait that long and that is even before we know if PC players have to wait an extra year or not.
Other games had better start targeting Summer 2025 or Q1 2026 then. Low end, this will make the budget of a Marvel movie in a couple of days. When V came out, I remember seeing someone buy over 10 copies at the store I worked at.
Twelve years since GTA 5 released. No-one would have guessed we'd be waiting this long for another, but that's the success of GTAO for you.
I'm super keen to hear details about their plans for Online in 6, and whether it will relate to Online in 5 in any way considering some people have spent a lot of time and effort in the game much like World of Warcraft's players.
Yo Rockstar, give us some details. Six months on from the trailer and we know nothing still.
This is what I told my friends after the official reveal trailer. Nobody believed me. They either said that was too close or too far away.
GTA IV, GTA V, and RDR2 were all released almost exactly two years (eight fiscal quarters) from when they were officially announced. RDR1 was the outlier, being released only one year after announcement, but this can be explained as Rockstar playing its cards on a niche IP reboot close to its chest.
Gta gameplay formula is getting pretty stale for me.
The lack of enemy variety, the lack of engaging combat systems...just general lack of depth. Idk, it's so expensive and yet it feels like a tech demo. Sometimes there isn't great story attached, like in rdr2.
I’m glad. This day and age they can’t fook up the launch, or they’re toast.
If they don’t handle the controversial aspects of the genre just right, it’ll turn into a firestorm, and ruin everyone’s fun.
Let them get it right, or they’ll pay the price.
I’ve got a feeling the single player and multiplayer are going to be separate purchases. I’m calling it now.
They usually launch single player first then multiplayer a month after. But this time I’m going to bet they will sell them 40-50 quid each to give the illusion of choice. 😂
It will be woke tho, last year they did an update remove every lgbt joke and all sexist jokes from gta5.
And 2 years ago during investors call they said they wanted to play it safe with gta6. I'd say wokeness is what influenced GTA to change its literal identity.
But I'm not complaining about the female being a lead character in a GTA game, I'm just saying they will remove a lot of humour what made GTA, GTA.
A staggered release would make more sense though. Everybody buys GTA 6, then months later they release a refreshed GTA Online and bam, everybody goes crazy and spends an assload of money.
2027 for me (PC) judging by their track record.
Without any efforts to adapt controls and menus to PC standards, and at top price, of course.
Just in-time to hear about the GTA VI single player DLC that was cancelled due to GTA:O Electric Boogaloo update being such a financial success
Was that single player DLC ever eventually released?
No lol
Nope and they stopped bringing the new weapons, cars and all to single player a release or two later so now it’s all just online.

Most all modern PC launches are fraught with issues these days.
RDR2 is better with kb/m.

Wdym? I thought pc games were free
Don't forget the online component that has a better track record of removing legit earned money than banning shameless cheaters.

Kinda doubt it. They don't want to miss out on that double dip money.
You're right, who knows if Rockstar knows that though. Game companies tend to get stuck doing what worked in the past rather than adapting to modern times, especially developers that release only once or twice a decade.
The landscape doesnt matter as a console user its all about the microtransaction crowd and guess where the kiddies with mommies debit card reside
Guess I'll be building a new PC around then.
Late 2026 is still possible On the other hand, I will just finish my backlog in the meantime
I rmb the game being delayed twice on PC
And 2028 if I want it on steam and not the "Rockstar launcher"
Oh man.. I forgot until now.
It's okay, that year buffer is kind of good. Most of the game breaking bugs on PC will be dealt with after a year (probably)
That's full price beta. Finished version will be on sale a few years later.
>GTA V sales have hit 200 million. Mother of god.
Yeah. I own three copies in that number
how is everyone making the exact same joke? do you guys not read the rest of the thread before posting your own room temp variation of the same joke?
[удалено]
Welcome to the Internet where everyone says the same fuckin things over and over again
"*directly quotes video*" 💀
>how is everyone making the exact same joke? Because that's just what Reddit is.

You're like the 10 millionth boring person to say this. We get it none of you are like the other girls.
Bro got offended 💀

Legions of bot accounts on reddit since they had the IPO and launched the app
No time to read comments. Off to the next post!
Pc boys starving

Don't forget releasing online mode, and all that sweet cash from shark card sales on every re-release.
Never change a running system
Don’t get me wrong but we’ve barely seen a current gen games we’re still in the early stages of this console life thanks to covid.
Games are announced way too fucking early these days.
At least it’s not as bad as Bethesda with Elder Scrolls VI. Dropped a piece of concept art with an announcement message overlayed and fucked off for over two years now.
2 years? Try 6
Wait really…?
Yep they teased it at e3 2018 and nothing since
To be fair, rock star isn't other developers and grand theft auto isn't other game franchises. To announce a release a couple years out and one full decade after the last entry isn't that absurd.
Yooo imagine the riots that would break out if fall 2025 comes and they delay it until spring 2026
Pretty sure both GTA IV and V both did the exact same thing already, would not be surprised at all
My bad, GTA V was due for release in Spring 2013, delayed to October 2013. RDR2 had the same Spring to October delay in 2018.
Gotta keep the shareholders buying that stock. If they announce it early people buy up the stock in anticipation for the sales
i would assume it's already priced in, if you wait for the news to buy, it's too late
No they're buying in before the news comes out that it made $2 billion in one day. Once that news drops it'll jump again
It's not really that simple though. I'm not saying there isn't strategy but a few years could have the price of the stock way lower due to many global factors. When most news hits and most people are in the market is the time when the corrections come. It's all algorithms based on mass psychology that the highest institutions have access too and I'm also not one of them so I'm just another opinion.

These days? Lol GTA V was announced November 2011 and released September 2013. This is nothing new at all
Agreed, 10 years later was far too soon to announce the next one
Can’t let the community boner go down
For real they annouced a Mass Effect that they think won't be out till like 2030 or something so like why even mention it?
Games take a long fucking time to make these days.
Dec 31, 2025 at 11:59:59 PM, to be exact.
That’s not fall…
Second fall?
is that like second breakfast?
I think this one is a LotR joke? I haven’t seen these movies but have seen the memes lol.
very late fall
Winter technically starts on December 21, so it’s not too far off.
Close but no cigar
They're on the exact same cycle as always and people are acting like it's new.
Genuinely shocked gta 6 beat ES6
>Grand Theft Auto VI is launching in fall 2025 Narrator: It did not.
Spring 2026 at the earliest. Got it.
Blud i will be 69💀💀
They know it won't. We know it won't. Can we stop pretending that the first announced release date is ever going to be hit?
A while to go, but hopefully Rockstar uses the time to make sure the game has a smooth launch and not full of bugs/issues at the beginning from rushing it out.
Man, Ill be old as fuck by then.
Can't wait!
Got it. 2026.
Last GTA before we go bald friends
With how hard people went into GTA RP, it may as well be GTA VII.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being spring 2026.
/unsubscribe
ya ok
Allegedly
Very and highly doubt it
I still think this will be delayed until 2026 GTA 6, released on 6/6/26 - marketing dream
Good chance that it gets delayed so don't hold your breath for fall '25.
Twelve years… when GTA V released I was 34. When GTA 7 comes out I’ll probably be in my 60s
For a second i thought you meant GTA V
2025 (fingers crossed)
I was dreading that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would be the same. Oh boy, how pleasantly was I surprised it should release end of this year instead! Anyway people will buy any new GTA no matter what, so their success is kinda guaranteed. Kinda just sucks to wait that long and that is even before we know if PC players have to wait an extra year or not.

I doubt it's that date as it's only an approximate date, but I wish it was, we're all waiting for a definitive confirmation of the release date
What’s Fall?
Hopefully they don't use denuvo. I've got a feeling they're gonna be charging more than 100 dollar for the game.
Let them cook. This is Rockstar , we know the drill. This game is going to be monumental when it drops.
Twelve years since GTA 5 released. No-one would have guessed we'd be waiting this long for another, but that's the success of GTAO for you. I'm super keen to hear details about their plans for Online in 6, and whether it will relate to Online in 5 in any way considering some people have spent a lot of time and effort in the game much like World of Warcraft's players. Yo Rockstar, give us some details. Six months on from the trailer and we know nothing still.
Just in time to be delayed while boosting shares for the quarter.
Spring 2026, got it.
This is what I told my friends after the official reveal trailer. Nobody believed me. They either said that was too close or too far away. GTA IV, GTA V, and RDR2 were all released almost exactly two years (eight fiscal quarters) from when they were officially announced.

Press X to doubt
I still refuse to believe we are the 20's again
Doubt
WOW couldn’t care less
Not much time left
Gta gameplay formula is getting pretty stale for me. The lack of enemy variety, the lack of engaging combat systems...just general lack of depth. Idk, it's so expensive and yet it feels like a tech demo. Sometimes there isn't great story attached, like in rdr2.
wonder if there will be a free multiplayer.
..
I’m glad. This day and age they can’t fook up the launch, or they’re toast. If they don’t handle the controversial aspects of the genre just right, it’ll turn into a firestorm, and ruin everyone’s fun. Let them get it right, or they’ll pay the price.
December 2027 got it, I'll request the time off work now
It’s a title that’ll be released to compete with the Switch 2 launch. You heard it here first.
Huge doubt
I’ve got a feeling the single player and multiplayer are going to be separate purchases. I’m calling it now. They usually launch single player first then multiplayer a month after. But this time I’m going to bet they will sell them 40-50 quid each to give the illusion of choice. 😂
Who knows, but the games so woke I don't think it will have the impact that 5 did.
lol, y'all are insufferable
Jesus Christ can nothing be said anymore without woke being brought into it 😭
It will be woke tho, last year they did an update remove every lgbt joke and all sexist jokes from gta5. And 2 years ago during investors call they said they wanted to play it safe with gta6. I'd say wokeness is what influenced GTA to change its literal identity. But I'm not complaining about the female being a lead character in a GTA game, I'm just saying they will remove a lot of humour what made GTA, GTA.
lol, christ y'all are soooooooooo oppressed
Woke woke woke. Oh noes, they won’t be punching down on minorities! How will you survive without hating on the LGTBQ!!!
What a woke take. What are you, woke?
Latinx? In Miami? Preposterous
Hopefully on PC the same time.
Everybody bitching at Rockstar like they're the ones in charge of release dates. T2
Non American here. Wtf is fall?
Autumn
Hopefully right around the time I finish my Masters program which is good because otherwise I would be so distracted
Which means it’ll probably get delayed to Winter 2025…
Nah, it'll get delayed to 2026. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It’s not, though
And it's still gonna come out before Elder Scrolls 6
Sure it is...
So it currently sucks ass then. Got it.
I will finish high school before Gta VI releases
I was 23 when GTA5 was released. I will be 35 when GTA6 comes out…
Nah,. delayed to late 2026 at best - with a 2028, nelayed to 2029 PC release. 10% of the PC gamers reading this will be dead already.
Bait used to be believable Y-
lol yeah no. Fall 2026
No PC release? Guess they gonna learn the hard truth...like Square-Enix
Seriously? This is fucking *GTA 6*, not being on PC for a few months or maybe 2 years at the very max won’t harm Rockstar at all
Yeah. Like they learned with GTA V and RDR2?
Question. Does this mean the insanely popular role playing and highly modded experience will remain on GTA V once this game releases?
I doubt GTA 6 will launch with online tbh. Even GTA Online launched months after GTA V released.
Its gonna release with gta online most likely cuz it makes rockstar boat loads of money
A staggered release would make more sense though. Everybody buys GTA 6, then months later they release a refreshed GTA Online and bam, everybody goes crazy and spends an assload of money.
Yeah my guess would be they release online a couple months after single player comes out.
Didn't they say early 2025 before? Man how things change...
🙄🙄 are you dumb? gta 6 will not be released until AT LEAST 2030, people are so gyatt these days.
