The GTA 6 trailer date announcement has sent shockwaves across the industry, even making other companies follow its format.
TNS: With the Nintendo Switch 2 bringing new games that cost $80 bucks, what's stopping Rockstar from giving GTA 6 a price tag of $100 or more?
Hopefully everyone will hate Nintendo with passion like they did Sony if this happens. $90 physical games here Nintendo comes!
But honestly, I applaud their balls going for that $450 pricetag with a 1080p lcd screen and a mere 256GB storage. Additional SD card is definitely needed and they're expensive and their games are expensives despite the 3rd party games being the worst version of the bunch.
Good luck, I guess.
I feel like people aren't talking enough about the storage situation. It kind of has been overshadowed by the prices.
The price should make the matter worse if you consider the storage. And the mere 12GB of RAM, most probably only like 10GB usable due to the OS needing some reserves but that's being generous. Considering the "new" online features, I doubt 2GB of RAM is enough for the OS. With under 10GB RAM, you can just forget 4K even if the system supports 4K output. I think even 1440p will be reached only with DLSS. RT? Yeah maybe at 900p
Steam Deck is $400 for a dramatically lower quality display - 800p 60hz non-HDR - and a lower capacity battery.
It has the superb ecosystem, but no baseline for performance and "Verified" lately tends to mean titles that just barely run on the thing.
I was so disappointed by my steam deck's display, IPS glow and everything, only for them to bring out the OLED a year or so later. So like with pro model consoles, I now know to wait for the OLED models for handhelds.
Would be crucified for sating this but OLED is not the be all and end all for a good display and experience. Yeah, the Deck LCD is kinda bad, but I am still genuinely impressed by the display of the PS Portal which is also LCD. Reports are saying that the Switch 2 display is equally good too.
but to be very fair
people already said that they dont care about the price of gta6. so this will give rockstar even more push to do it
Yeah but probably it will be worth it. If ubisoft or EA price their yearly crap games 100$ I wouldn‘t even consider buying them for a second.
R* doesn‘t need an excuse. Their games use to set the bar so high that no one even comes close for years and years. No company has come close to RDR2 when it comes to open worlds and the same will happen with GTA6.
I have no problem with companies wanting to charge 100$ for their games. I would just never buy them. 🙅
The marketing window for Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games' open world action game, GTA VI, is relatively close to its release.
Until Rockstar outright say it's not happening then it's happening.
They dropped the trailer and got 200 million views in a few days they could shadow drop the game and it would outsell everything that has ever existed movies and games
Agreed, but with each day that passes and we hear nothing the more obvious it becomes that Rockstar themselves aren’t sure it’ll be ready.
So April will actually be the month when it all starts. So they have changed the hype windue a little with shorter time between marketing and release. I like that
Yeah yeah. Downvote me all you like. Y’all gonna see soon when we get that official delay. We ain’t even got trailer 2 yet. You guys are delusional
I think you’re right, maybe an Ass Creed Shadows situation where they launch a few months later than expected to polish up.
I’ve been checking gaming news lately with more excitement knowing the second trailer or release day is going to be announced and it’s crickets.
The silence is deafening at this point and it does seem more likely it’ll slip to first quarter of ‘26
"Marketing window"
Rockstar just needs to drop the release date and the entire gaming world stops.
According to Rockstar that window is whenever they damn well please
They gave a singular sentence saying we can't wait to show what we have been up to last December and the world lost it's mind the trailer would go on to hit 250 million views on Rockstars channel not including the many more ign or other outlets got making the trailer one of the most watched videos within 24 hours
I'm not convinced by this statement given the initial trailer dropped in December 2023.
Rockstar Games is reportedly looking to incorporate user-generated content similar to Roblox and Fortnite for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The developer has apparently already met with a number of major Roblox and Fortnite creatures about the possibility of building custom experiences in GTA VI, with Rockstar reportedly planning to allow the game’s environment and assets to be modified by creators to implement their own IP into the sandbox.
"And The GTA 6 Leak Becomes Most-Liked Gaming Social Post Of All Time"
Oh man… I’m absolutely jazzed for this
Xbox tax. It obviously is Starfield that holds that honor and GTA6 only got close because of Game Pass rumors.
Unsurprisingly Rockstar has a history of doing this gta iv's reveal trailer was so popular it broke the internet or pretty much every single gaming related site out there I remember I couldn't see it until the next day and that after spending hours trying (if you're old like me you'd remember this was in the pre YouTube era)

Thankfully we live in the modern era where YouTube is fault tolerance tested and meant to handle the tsunami that will be everyone and jack Thompson checking out Rockstar's latest offering
Do you guys think this will be the first GTA to feature dynamic weather? Like tropical storms and such.
