We are very excited to let you know now that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

Thank you,
Sam Houser

    I won’t be happy unless this game can simulate the universe, solve cold fusion, and resurrect my hamster. Anything less isn’t worth £60.

    I have very little hype for new rockstar games considering I know right now it’s not going to have story dlc and it’s going to be simply a vessel to get people into the online mode to spend buckets of cash on cards.

      GTA IV had the radio crackle right before receiving a phone call just like how GSM radio interference worked at the time.

      GTA V had in the middle of a restricted part of the map a drain overflow which has runoff to a floor light that was shorting out as a result.

      Rockstar’s commitment to detail in their open worlds is unlike anything else, and they can never release any DLC again or support a title after launch at all and turn it into a vessel for funneling to their online money maker all day long and I’ll still eagerly await whatever morsels of that single player vessel I can get my hands on.

        Yeah, they want to funnel you to multiplayer…but I’m not gonna sit here and pretend the funnel itself isn’t great. People were saying all this about RDR2 and while I think it lacked in certain design choices, it was not lacking in content and attention to detail.

          My biggest gripe with their greedy desires to push everyone into online was the death of the director mode.

          I really, really wanted director mode for RDR2. And I’m going to really want it for GTA 6.

          And I’m sure I’m not getting it for either as it directly competes with online.

      My thoughts exactly. However, it excites me that Rockstar still managed to make RDR2, and it was a masterpiece. Even so, I never played “Online” MP mode, nor have I ever played GTA’s, and I hope they noticed, lol.

        Yeah. RDR2 is absolutely a masterpiece. It’s why I’ll still consider buying Rockstar games, but not on launch. They don’t get day one buys from me :D

      GTA games are expensive to make. All that multiplayer bullshit subsidies the single player campaign. I was pretty satisfied with GTA 5 and GTA 4 and didn’t touch the multiplayer. is it a big deal if they continue that pattern?

        All that multiplayer bullshit subsidies the single player campaign.

        ??? What? How?

        The game isn’t free – singleplayer or multiplayer(well it was free on Epic Games Store for that one week, but that was years into the game’s release).

        It earned $800 million on release day and $1 billion in 3 days. I don’t think a lot of people would have bought Shark cards at that time.

        Then there’s all the sales after the first 3 days, the release on PS4/Xbox One/PC, and then the re-release on PS5/Xbox Series.

        This article claims they made ~$8 billion in revenue from GTA V as of Q1 FY23. I know games are expensive to make, but surely they don’t cost billions – to a point where their singleplayer campaign needs to be “subsidized”?

          That said, it cost 300 million to makes and 5 years to develop. Getting a return in the billions after 10 years is expected, otherwise they might as well save all that time and energy, and massive financial risk, and just buy conservative ETFs with that 300 million and sit at the beach.

        It is the single most profitable piece of media ever produced.

        GTA V was supposed to have DLC and it was cancelled in favour of online. So those who don’t play online lost out whereas they traditionally wouldn’t have.

        V was great and worth the spend but it’s 10 years later and we have a tweet for a sequel. So it’s justified to be disappointed in what we have been presented with and not be as excited.

        I’m also afraid they’ll take it a bit to keep the younger crowds parents at bay.

    we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.

    I bet this is a massive troll and they’ll release a trailer for a GTA IV remaster.

    Now we’re pre-hyping the hype trailers

    I swear this game is going to flop because of the massive expectations people are going to have. I may be wrong and also never got the appeal of those games, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

      The massive hype and popularity means everyone and their mother will buy it day 1 even if it ends up being trash. They don’t need to keep you happy, just to buy the game

        I hate that you’re right. Because that’s what gaming is boiled down to today. How to maximize day 1 profit, no need for down the line customer enjoyment

          I wouldn’t be so sad about it. That’s just what happens with AAA games. I cite Cyberpunk (which honestly great in CDPR for how much post-launch work they’ve put in, but we gotta admit it was launched when it was as a means to pull in profit fast), every modern Fifa or CoD or Madden. Diablo 4 has been the king of this crime.

          On the other hand you have amazing games being pushed out by indie devs, or smaller franchises within those big publishers. Hell, doesn’t even need to be either of those, Nintendo still puts out mega-hyped high quality games like Super Mario Wonder or BoTW/TotK.

          BG3 probably game of the decade btw.

    Is that a press release for a trailer? Are you going to release a trailer for the trailer next? Just fucking tell us the release date and shut up until then. It’s not like you need to introduce the GTA brand to anyone.

    I hope this is one of those times were the company making the the game knows just how intensely popular their game is and don’t advertise and hype it for 2 years prior to release. It’d be nice if they just launched their trailer, then have the game come out a month later.

      There’s no way they’re launching this game in January. Start telling yourself now that it’s not coming out until fall 2025, that way anything sooner seems like a bonus.

          Yeah, it would be nice, I feel like games shouldn’t be announced any more than 6 months from release, and preferably less, but this is the world we live in.

    Can they please make the online mode better. Spawn in get blown up, spawn in get shot, spawning get run over, it’s boring.

      Hopefully they just make GTA Online it’s own separate standalone game so then maybe they’ll actually add content for a single player game after release for the first time in nearly 20 years and not just keep shitting out new microtransactions.

        Hyper capitalization has ruined AAA games. Besides, what’s the point in entertainment when you know the climate apocalypse is happening all around us?
