Grand Theft Auto 5′s Release “Date” Leaked by Amazon

Sufyan at vGSaints writes:

Yep, Grand Theft Auto 5′s release date has been leaked by Amazon. It had to happen, and now was the time. Amazon UK recently updated the release “date” on the console version of the game. It’s not the exact date, but here: it’s this year.

Apparently the game is due for release this December. I'm doubting they accidentally put it up, so it’s possible that RockStar Games will be giving more information about the anticipated title.

In case Amazon removes the date, here’s a screenshot.

It's either oct/nov or spring 2013. My opinion.

brodychet4780d ago

Early 2013. That's what it'll be.

redDevil874780d ago

Bioshock Infinite has been delayed till February, so i don't think it may be early 2013.

redDevil874780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

Ohhhhh DP

*That's what she said*

JhawkFootball064780d ago

I doubt Rockstar has been telling retailers a release date without publicly announcing it. There's just no point.

gatormatt804780d ago

This is just a placeholder. Move on guys nothing to see here, just another site looking for hits.

archemides5184780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

this is a placeholder, but some retailers DO actually get told release dates before they're publicly announced (especially amazon), and even before the get "early announcement for retailers" memos, for lots of different types of items. and sometime through leaks or glitches, the dates do get out. but this is not one of those cases.

PinkPartyPony4780d ago

Too soon.

Mid-Late 2013, Early 2014.

morganfell4780d ago

Games listed for December are released the following year. It's called a placeholder date.

This no name website vgsaints just insulted 2K and Rockstar. They apparently feel those two entities are stupid enough to release a major game in December.

Has anyone ever wondered why December isn't filled with major game debuts? Because December is past the prime cash retail month and too many people (enough to affect sales) will have already committed funds.

There are deluded people that will say that even if GTA V released in December it would still sell millions. Thanks for being shortsighted. It would sell but not close to what it would pull in on a better situated date.

i believe its coming out in 2012 because they delayed bioshock. Look i was the biggest believer that GTA 5 was in april-may 2013 but now i believe we will see it in 2012

FIZZYVIMTO4780d ago

Don't most big stores put up a placeholder date just to gain interest and pre orders

Valenka4780d ago

Game stores always put up placeholder dates. This is no exception.

josh143994780d ago

This means nothing. I used to work at blockbuster uk and they used to have placeholder dates. It could be released then but don't get you hopes up.

YodaCracker4780d ago

I'd love to believe it, but big titles almost never seem to release in December. They usually release in November to take advantage of the Black Friday shopping season.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese28d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde27d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast27d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake27d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow127d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown35d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8535d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown35d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8534d ago (Edited 34d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole34d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name35d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast34d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj34d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos47d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto47d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba48d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz47d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u46d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
