Grand Theft Auto Series Discussion

It's still cheaper than a Steam Machine!

I will have to decide what to do.  I have a PS4.  I wanted to play it on PC, but if I wait over a year for it to come out on PC, I will be spoiled on the story surely. I have played them all as they came out and I don't want to miss out on that. I just don't want to spend $700 for a new console for ONE GAME.

It is the dilemma most people are in. I'm not buying a console. I will play it on PC. I guess I have to wait.

PS5 prices recently went up by $100-150 bucks too.  Same with other consoles.

But I think a PS5 is the route to go.  No need to the PS5 Pro.

[RainySunshine]

PS5 seems like a good bet.  The GTA trailers were all taken from a normal PS5, not a PS5 Pro.

GTA VI is for sale now! I see no physical copies which is unfortunate.  I also don't see physical cool things we can get.
Base price is a very fair and lower than expected $79 USD.

How much Blu-Ray’s are needed to contain so big game?
As I heard, its size exceeds 100 GB.

[Anyponedrawn]

There is no Collectors Edition with cool physical things to get. I am sad to hear about that.

[MasterXtreme]

^ Essentially, yes.

If you want to play around and see what the GTA VI mapping team has done so far, check out their website. It's pretty great.

^ That website rocks. While they've done a ton of work, there really isn't as much done as I had hoped.  I am sure they think the same. Vice City itself is well mapped, but a lot of that is speculative if you look at the key.

How are we still finding NEW things for Grand Theft Auto IV! Insane!

[Spiffmin]

Wow, that's wild!

[Anyponedrawn]

Lol!

Experts agree: GTA 6 will cause a workplace phenomenon in the U.S. on November 19, and some companies are already taking action

Grand Theft Auto VI will cause a major work stoppage at companies on November 19: some companies are already warning that they will not be open that day.

Rarely has a video game generated anticipation comparable to that of Grand Theft Auto VI. Both analysts and economic experts have been hailing it for months as the entertainment industry’s biggest release of 2026, with an impact that will extend far beyond the world of video games. In fact, some U.S. companies have already begun preparing for its release date, November 19, announcing several months in advance that they will be closed that day due to the expected high number of employee absences.
The GTA 6 phenomenon is already affecting several U.S. companies: some will close on November 19

More than ten years after the original release of Grand Theft Auto V (2013), its sequel, Grand Theft Auto VI, has established itself as one of the most anticipated titles of all time. Anticipation surrounding Rockstar Games’ new, monumental project has continued to grow for years, fueled in large part by its lengthy development period and successive release delays, to the point where its launch on November 19 has become one of the most significant events in the video game industry—not just for 2026, but for the entire decade.

One example of this involves Burger Motorsports, company specializing in car tuning and parts, which has announced a temporary hiatus from all its activities to coincide with the game’s launch. In a statement sent to employees and customers, the company explains that several employees have already indicated that on that day they will be “unavailable, unreachable, and/or in Vice City”—a reference to the fictional city based on Miami where GTA 6 is set—and will therefore resume their work once they have “completed theur initial exploration, finished at least one mission and returned to reality.”

Although the ad clearly has a humorous tone, it’s a very telling example of just how much the launch of GTA 6 extends beyond the realm of video games. In recent months, numerous analysts have warned that Rockstar’s title will shape the planning of much of the industry, with publishers delaying or moving up their releases to avoid competing with it. And the case of Burger Motorports shows that this influence is also beginning to be felt outside the video game industry.
