Microsoft and Sony are cutting Rockstar a massive deal. They will only take a very small cut from all digital sales for the game and microtransactions. This means that Rockstar stands to make billions more than GTA V just by keeping the game on console.
They do this so people buy it twice
>>738840858CoolI wasn’t going to buy this slop game anyways since it’s going to cost $100
>>738840858Console market is smaller than it was in 2009
>>738840858Preorder on the 18th btw
https://www.gta6hype.com/blog/gta6-pc-release-date/They will most likely make the announcement in February 2027 and launch it in October or November of that year.
>XboxAlright if we're not memeing, genuine 10 million sales at most>PS5Probably 30 million sales or so >PC Probably around 160 million sales missed, less people will buy when the story's been out and spoiled for over a year and a half. Online will be cancer faggotry just like 5 and any non-groid will drop that after 20 hours
>>738841224>160 millionHow many of you will be able run the game, it's optimized for my box
>>738840858>They will only take a very small cut from all digital sales for the game and microtransactions.Are they that desperate for people to buy hardware (so they can buy more software)? Is there a source for that?
>>738841171>release a downgraded GTA VI on current gen consoles>next gen comes out>release the real GTA VI with a lot of upgrades and online incentives>double moneyYou're okay with waiting 8 months, are you okay with waiting 2 years? 3 years? Microsoft and Sony are launching a war against PC by holding GTA VI hostage. If you saw the leaked figures, PC players didn't spend shit on their game. Sony just needs to lower their cut to make their platform more attractive.
>>738841282No clue, but if it can run at 24fps upscaled from 540p on a 1060 then people will buy and play it on PC, they do not care.
>>738840858Source?>I've dreamt that my unc works at amazon
but normies don't play on pc
>>738840858Wasn't going to buy it so I dont care
>>738841282i dunno, i was able to play gta 5 on my shitty toshiba laptop that was falling apart. of course in the lowest possible settings, but it was still playable.
>>738841224>160 million sales on PCBullshit it will have more pirated downloads than sales
I don't want my first experience playing GTA6 to be some 30fps sub1080p console slop. I'll wait for the PC release, just like with GTA4 and GTA5.
>>738841437Maybe from Brazil and shit but you underestimate how much of a pay piggy the average normgroid Euro/American is
>>738840858Why would Microsoft refuse to release on their biggest platform?
>>738841323People waited two years for GTAV on PC. I'm expecting it to take that long at the minimum this time too. Regardless, right now I have no interest in this game. I'm not expecting the game to be particularly good anyway.
>>738840891And everyone knows they are doing this staggered release again in hopes of selling more units, it will not work quite as well as it did in the past, but some people will still definitely double dip.They are shooting themselves in the foot by excluding 40-50% of their playerbase (Take-Two's CEO himself said that PC can represent around 40-50% of sales).Hopefully the sales figures will look poor in comparison to what they were expecting so they have to go double time on the PC release.
>>738841505it's not coming to PC
>>738840858Oh no!Anyway...
>>738841825lol, sure it isnt.
>>738840858Probably a stupid idea since PC is up to 50% of the market share and they are billions in the hole. I hope it flops lmao.
>>738840858PC poors deserve it.
lets all laugh at pc lol
>>738841872>PC 50%Lol no.
>>738842097>AIfaggots are seething about PCslol
>>738840858nah
>>738842121AIfags are PCfags tho.
>>738842154AIfags are sub-indian
>>738842097this is such an indian post
>>738842238>Muh AIAre you some seething tranny "artist"?
>>738842301>seething about artists unpromptedlol
>>738842286>YOU BLAADY BASTERD WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY PEEEEECEEEE
we go through this same song and dance with rockstar games ever since gta 3 and it always ends the same
>>738842337>Please stop noticing I'm a low caste indian
bro, you NEED to buy this single player game on release!
>>738842330>Seethes about AI unpromptedKekekek.
>>738842364And they'll buy it, what you're gonna do about it ?
>>738842368>Can't even copycat rightlol
>>738842403>you NEED to buy it bro, OTHER PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT!!!
>>738842364Some people have waited more than half their lives for this game of course they're buying it on release
>>738842359>Y-YOUUU BLAADY JEEEET NOT MY HECKIN PEEEECEEEE HOW DARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>738842453bro, other people were waiting for it! you GOTTA BUY IT!!!!
>>738841008Right...
it isbut 2030 at the earliest
>>738842461>Pajeet can't even string together sentences any more
>>738840858I'll play it when it gets rereleased on PS6 and Xbox Series XX then
>>738840858isn't it always a timed exclusive on console anyways so they can double dip on the rich cunts who can afford one for both console and pc?
pc fags lost and wont be playing GTAVI on release :skull:
>>738842338RDR 2 released 8 years ago. Rockstar is run by new executives and several of the founders quit. With the PC market growing and console sales shrinking, it would be retarded for Microsoft and Sony not to cut a larger check. We're talking BILLIONS. Once you have a PS5 in your room, you're more likely to buy other games, which is how they can slowly take back their market share. There is no better selling point than the largest game ever made being a console exclusive.
will gta 6 run on xbox series s?
>>738842597it has to, they already promised it was coming to the console
>>738842617that's fucking bullshit. Microsoft can suck dick
>>738842652seethe harder, snoy
You think they won't release it on PC when the biggest players right now are RP fags?
>>738840858They can’t possibly cut big enough deal to cover tens of millions of missing sales.Snoys are something else.
>>738842489>M-MUH JEEEEEET!!!>Pls validate my axewound
I can't imagine what it's like to want a new grand theft auto in the modern day.What do you look like? What are your dreams? Where do you come from? How do you care about this so many years later? None of the people working there back in the day are probably alive any more.Is this the same demographic as the people buying all those remakes?
>>738842703>Seething he outed himself with AI shittery>Has multiple images of trannieslol
Why would anyone with a triple-digit I. Q. care about anything to do with GTA?>200GB>$200>$200 DLC>...for a sandless sandpit with dual protagonists, minus co-opEnjoy!
>>738842597>CD Projekt Red released Cyberpunk on PS4>game is a stuttering mess>looks nothing like the trailer>frequent crashes>Sony was forced to issue full refunds to all purchases and removing the game from their store>CD Projekt Red's stock crashed>got sued for misleading investorsYou cannot release a game on a console that cannot handle it. They already promised a series s release, so they must deliver on that.
>>738840858>ppl still believe this is actually releasing this yearlmaoSpring 2027 at the earliest
>>738842832Nah it's definitely coming out this time the ESRB rated it and pre-orders are starting.
>>738842597it will at like 360pjust look at series s crimson desert gameplay for a preview of what gta 6 will look like on it
I still ain't buying a console for one fucking game.
>>738842784and yet you played rdr2 where the exact same indian studio worked on that game as well
>caring This game will be the definition of slop.
>>738842942but gta 6 is cpu intensive game there's no way the series s is enough. cutting down resolution ain't gonna help they'll have to make the worls barren
>>738841008I wouldn't even check it out for free, not worth the lengthy download and clearing out space
>>738840858thanks for beta testing
>>738843029pretty sure the series s has the same cpu as the other consoles but it's just the gpu that is shit
>>738840858that's goodit's not like shitskin pcjeets can play the game on their $150 pcs anywayalso they are all poorfag low trust piratenigs
>>738840858>implying i ever meant to buy any rock$tar of david game after gta 5
>>738843029You get what you pay for, anyone serious about playing good versions got the X.
>>738843183Yea we know you're poor.
>>738843139>most of the pc users play fivem>most of the pc users were dropped millions by hackers because of the shitty anti-cheat negating the need for shark cardsGee, it's like Rockstar fucked it up themselves and are now using their own fuck up to justify their decision not to release on PC at the same time as consoles.You are allowed to use your critical thinking skills.
>>738843250>shitskin pcjeet admits he is indeed a low trust rape rat thiefenjoy watching the gameplay on pootube and then seething about the game on /v/ while REAL gamers play on consoles
the definitive way to play gta 6 on pc will be at 4k with pathtracing turned on so I doubt any of you here even have a pc for that so maybe it is a good thing it will be delayed until at least the nvidia 60 series is out
>>738843303It's bizarre watching consolefags try to console war with pc.
>>738841224>10 million on xboxIt wouldn’t sell that many on playstation. You people really overestimate the interest in this game. The industry is dying outside of mobile games.
>>738840891Nah, they do it because PC niggers will just pirate everything anyway.
>>738843247How I wish to be 18 again...
>>738843446No, they do it because people buy it twice.
>>738843379You underestimate the interest in this game. Trailer 2 has over 250 million views on youtube there's no other games that get close to that.
>>738840858That would only guarantee that I don't buy it.
>>738841323>are you okay with waiting 2 years? 3 years? Microsoft and Sony are launching a war against PChttps://playfront.de/en/ps6-wohl-erst-2028-sony-taktiert-wegen-hardware-krise/#:~:text=Sony%20CEO%20Hiroki%20Totoki%20confirms,delay%20PlayStation%206%20until%202028.They're not going to release the PS6 and Xbox Helix until at least 2028, especially with the RAM crisis. This isn't the jump from 7th to 8th generation, and Rockstar's last title, RDR2, took a year. Nothing indicates they'll take more than a year for this, and if it takes 10 years, I'm not going to buy a console.
>>738841224>160 million salesNigga if this were really the case, Take2 would’ve told Sony and MS to fuck off. PC is still the smallest market, smaller than Xbox at its lowest lol. The recent hack confirms this.
>>738841282In the leaks showing the game's development, the GPUs used were listed as ranging from a GTX 1080, RTX 2080, and RTX 3080. Considering the specifications of the PS5 and Series S, the most likely minimum or recommended GPU would be an RTX 3060/RTX 2060/GTX 1080 and any 6-core or 8-thread CPU, something like a Ryzen 2000 series or higher. If ray tracing technology is included by default, it will probably require an RX 6000 series or RTX 2000 series or higher as a minimum.
>>738844171listed requirements gpu wise will most likely be the 3060 for minimum and 5070 for recommended, they want to pick something with a large enough user base for both
>>738843139So, the reason Rockstar abandoned RDR2, canceled Bully 2, and is becoming three times more jew than ever is that console users keep buying virtual currency like retard for a shitty online game for browns? LMAO
>>738844249A PS5, even with a lot of optimization, is essentially an RX 6600/RX 6700 with the ray tracing capabilities of an RTX 2070, or slightly less. If it's supposedly going to run at 4K (natively, clearly not), the most likely recommended card is a 3060 for native 1080p and 4K with DLSS or FSR in balanced settings.
>>738840858>buggy mess made by fat white women who don't video games Cool, nobody asked
>>738840858>Microsoft are cutting Rockstar a massive dealWhy, it's not going to sell or save the Xbox, hell the game isn't even going to sell on Xbox because those fuckers don't buy games anymore, if it's not on Gay Piss, why bother. even worse, Gay Piss declined in users and because Microsoft stopped production of Xbox Series consoles, you probably won't even be able to find a Series console by the time GTA VI releases. This only makes since for Sony because the PS5 nuked the Xbox from orbit. Of course, I can't wait for GTA VI to fail, it's failure will fix Sony up good preparing them for their AA renaissance next generation.>Microsoft>XboxSeriously OP, I don't even know why you brought them up. Microsoft needs to give up, they can't beat Nintendo, they can't beat Sony, they can't beat Valve. It's both pathetic and embarrassing that they're still even trying.
>>738844332brown indians like you have no moneythat pic is proofcontinue seething, inferior shiteating thief
>>738840858Only zoomers and casual gamers care about VI. GTA V and RDR 2 were already both mediocre games, and there's no reason to believe VI will be any different.
>>738844483It's already been proven that Xbox makes them much more money than PC and Series X especially has a high amount per user ratio >>738843139
>>738841323>>738843979Nope, this shit happened before in 2020 with constant rumors of a delay, they still released it, Sony will lower the RAM in the PS6 home console and handheld and release in 2027, Microsoft won't give a shit and release the 48GB $1500+ Helix in 2027 since it's a locked-down reference device anyways. Please, OP, shut the fuck up about Xbox, please. It's completely irrelevant. It doesn't matter what Microsoft does with Xbox, they completely fucked over their consumer base and no one is ever going to buy another Xbox. Stop it, I can believe Sony doing this because they see Nintendo and Valve as a threat, but Xbox is dead and you need to stop acting like Microsoft matters anymore you loser.
>>738840858All evil men that started the precedent of console exclusivity gating. RDR1 was the most clear cut example. There's a special place in hell for: Dan Houser, Sam Houser and Leslie Benzies. They were all rotten evil men blinded by greed when they still worked there. Sam still is accordingly a spawn of satan. There's a reservation for Take Two but that goes without saying.
>>738844662It doesn't fucking matter if the damn thing is dead, you monkey. When was the last time a GTA game released. No one buys Xbox consoles anymore, Game Pass declined in numbers, no dev wants to make games for Helix, no one wants to buy a Helix. Stop shilling Xbox. I would have more respect for you if you shilled PlayStation, Nintendo, or Steam, but shilling Xbox is just pathetic. Those faggots aren't even follow the direction next gen is headed, the bloated era of AAA games are over.
>>738843029All three consoles (PS5, Series S, and Series X) have the same CPU: a Zen 2 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads; the only difference is the clock speed, which ranges from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz.
>>738841224>Alright if we're not memeing, genuine 10 million sales at mostDoubt it'll sell that much. The retarded OP underestimates just how dead the Xbox actually is.
>>738840858lmao it will be buggy mess on console
>>738844568Sorry, I'm not a pajeet like you who thinks spending $100 every month on Shark Cash Cardis worth it.
>>738844682>Sony will lower the RAM in the PS6 home console and handheld and release in 2027Lol, They're going to sell it to you with 8GB of RAM, just like the PS4.
>>738844752>Muh AA indie games will take over the industry next gen!Yeah sure thing buddy whatever you say lmao
Slop. Not buying.
>>738844941aldo>Want more RAM on your PS4 I mean PS6? Buy this $300 expansion pack to upgrade to 16GB. If you want 32GB it costs $600.
>>738844941Nah, they need to be close enough to each other, 24GB for the home console, 16GB for the handheld, same as the Steam Deck and Steam Machine.
>>738844996That's where it's headed, shithead. AAA quality, AA budget and size. Devs next gen, are falling in line for Nintendo, Valve, and Sony and optimizing their games for lower tier hardware as they know the RAM shortage has caused people to downgrade on RAM and they want to optimize their games for that. Microsoft lost.
>>738845510Shit, I forgot the picture>>738845523LMAO In your dreams, if you want it by 2027, they'll sell it with at least 16GB for $700. If you want 32GB, they'll sell the Pro version for $1000. Sony users have shown that if they're given a piece of junk, they'll buy it.
Now i wish Jack Thompson had actually curb stomped these motherfuckers in a court room back in the day and got their games removed off the market. You can't even say that Rockstar Games were ever the good guys.
>>738845601Sony, unlike Microsoft, wants to lower the price at launch. If things get bad with RAM, they'll lower it. It's not needed. Your ass got warped by Windows when Valve already showed that Windows is a bloated piece of unoptimized shit.
>>738845689>wants to lower the price at launch.They've raised the price of the PS5 several times already.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA>Your ass got warped by Windows when Valve already showed that Windows is a bloated piece of unoptimized shit.I don't use Xbox, I use Windows and Linux (Steam OS and linux mint), so it doesn't affect me in the end because I can use full Linux.
>>738842010Why do you laugh? It makes sense, PC and mobile are currently on the rise worldwide, indeed the console market has been on a steady decline for a long time now. Why do you think Nintendo pulled out of it with the Switch and found success in the hybrid market? Why do you think Microsoft is going the pre-built PC route? Sony is the only brand that persists on the traditional console marketEven in places like Japan, who were once bulwarks of console, PC and mobile are rapidly taking over, kids there now only care about PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch
>>738845575>optimizing their games for lower tier hardware as they know the RAM shortage has caused people to downgrade on RAM and they want to optimize their games for thatNo one is going to optimize SHIT, you moron. Current gamedevs are incompetent to the Nth degree.
>>738840891Cause they will. >>738843446Lol I played the leaked version for journalists on my hacked PS3 before the plebs that bought it. For about a week we piratefags were the gods you plebs asked for revelations.
I don't understand why these games are so popular
>>738844761achshually-PS5 isn't even full Zen2, it's a cut down version specific for Sony.https://chipsandcheese.com/p/the-nerfed-fpu-in-ps5s-zen-2-cores
>>738846089PC is all over the place the people with good rigs are a small minority the rest are poorfags still playing at 1080p with low settings on their outdated shit.
>>738846279>playing at 1080p with low settings on their outdated shit.But they're still playing it and that's what matters to them, they wanna play games on a platform of freedom, where you can buy games for the best prices possible (Steam), where you can own your games (Steam and GoG), where you can mod your games however you want without people telling you what content you're allowed to have in your game, where you can play all console games (Emulation), where you can do other stuff besides gaming, none of this is possible in a walled garden consolePeople get it wrong when they think the pros of PC is better graphics, more horsepower, etc. It's not, those are for the enthusiasts, which as you said, are a minority, the big appeal of PC is actually FREEDOM.
It will flop anyway
>>738843000I pirated it; and the online component I got on sale and then uninstalled as soon as I realised how it was (somehow??) even more boring than the main game.>case that proves the point
>>738846240I never really got the appeal of playing as a criminal in a game and I'm not saying this as one of those ultra conservative christian moms "video games are teaching our children to be evil!!!" lenses.What I mean is, there's nothing you can do in this game that I really find fun to do
>>738846260>https://chipsandcheese.com/p/the-nerfed-fpu-in-ps5s-zen-2-coresThis thing still overheats, kek. Now I understand why Digital Foundry's equivalent PC for ps5 is a Ryzen 3600.
>>738846521I honestly doubt they'll have a big profit from selling physical and digital copies but over time this game will earn billions from online
>>738846521It can't, at least not that easily.But even the most established franchises can wither when in the hands of incompetent people so there's hope.>>738846580Honestly the R5 3600 is probably a lot faster. The PS5 OS reserves a full core, maybe more, the CPU doesn't boost as high, it's kneecapped by very high-latency memory etc.
>>738845927>They've raised the price of the PS5 several times already.True, but that was deep into the generation instead of being at the very start of it.>>738846150Microsoft doesn't control shit, they don't get to dictate how devs will optimize their games. If your games can only sell on three platforms, optimization is almost guaranteed.
>>738846647The PS5's CPU is laughably bad, historically consoles tend to have bad CPUs in relation to PCs, but even the PS5 is an outlier for how shit it is. The PS5 is, comparatively speaking, the console with the weakest CPU of all time in relation to available contemporary CPUs
>>738846719>True, but that was deep into the generation instead of being at the very start of it.And that's precisely why they won't lower the price any further with the PS5 Pro. The last thing they want to do is cannibalize their PS5 and PS5 Pro sales. If anything, they'll lower the price of those two consoles by $100 to see if the poor PS4 owners will finally jump ship, and the PS6 won't drop below $800 or 700$
>>738846647>Honestly the R5 3600 is probably a lot faster.lol
>>738846889What if they discontinue the PS5 Pro, when this launches? They already lowered the PS6's SSD down to 1TB over 2TB.
>>738846889Honestly, 700-800$ for a PS6 would be ok for me considering it will be cheaper than the much weaker steam machine
>>738840891Yep and it's working. I will boughter twice.
>>738847073They're going to be around the same price, Steam Machine currently if you try to put a PC around the same power together rangers from $600-$700. They'll be around the same price or the PS6 will cost slightly more.
>>738846240Normegroids the world over dont have the sentience or self awareness enough to question and ponder why modernity is completely domesticating, soul crushing, nothing about society is right, you live for nothing, and are in a stasis point in human history where nothing really happens at all, you cant do anything real without severe ramifications of the most centralised state in all human existence monitoring if you scanned a QR code at a public toilet to take a shit, and show your vaxpass papers in a forced pacification civilisationSo normegroids insert themselves into criminal roles, cowboys, vikings, anything to make themselves feel real in their carefully curated fever dream in front of screens
>>738847073The Steam Machine is a different niche, aiming to be an intermediary between console and PC without the limitations of being a DRM machine, having repeated remakes, and requiring a paid online service. The additional cost of PC hardware is always due to the savings on services that consoles have to pay for, which Sony recoups.
>>738846794No that would be the previous generation. Even Bulldozer which cocked at over 4GHz was shit compared to Sandy/Ivy Bridge and they somehow went with the even slower laptop cores.When I fist saw the leaks for the Xbone listing 8 cores 1.6 Ghz AMD APU I thought it was a joke/fake>>738846956Yeah so the 3600 is significantly faster.It gets even worse when you remember that the PS5 OS locks a full core.
>>738847525The PS5s weak ass ryzen 7 3700-equivalent is even more shit compared to the powerhouses we have today tho, it lacks the 3d v-cache that's basically mandatory for any cpu that wants to be half-decent nowadays. The 9800x3d wipes the floor with it so hard it's not even funny
>>738842784>almost 30% of gta6 is made in indiaIf you ask online, they're mostly doing asset creation, "support" and "technical assistance" but that's a serious number to ponder.
>>738847871>ryzen 7 3700-equivalent lol no, it's nowhere near that, see my screenshot. When running Linux with the exploit, Geekbench has access to all 8 cores and the CPU can boost to 3.8 GHz iirc, when running as a Playstation 5 it has one less core and only boosts to 3.5GHz.Truly grim when you consider Geekbench isn't even that heavily impacted by memory latency as actual games.
>>738848070which makes it even worse for the PS5, grim
>>738848183It could be worse, like a lot worse, an older dual core beating your 8-core worse.
>>738843139>number of pc gamers in india: nearly 600 million>number of playstation 5s sold in india: about 300koh no no no no, pcjeet saars, massive izzat loss!
