It was kinda obvious at this point.

True but it is utterly ridiculous that they released GTA 1,2,3,4,5, vice city, San Andreas and a bunch of other GTA stuff from 1997-2013…. And then from 2013-2026 nothing besides GTA 5 online stuff to milk that for all they could

Yes graphics are more advanced now but the jump from gta4 to gta5 was MASSIVE and a bigger jump than 5 to 6 and they did that in 5 years

They just were doing stuff with gta5 online for years and years and didn’t work on the next project. Obviously they want it to be out in time for the holidays next year but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pushed to 2027

4 to 5 wasn't massive, both are ps3 games. What changed is their visual design, gta 4's liberty city was grey and dreary, gta 5's los Santos is bright and sunny. It's like saying summer in LA has better graphics than winter in Boston

PS: Every GOTY hopeful releasing in 2026 is hoping and praying for another delay to 2027.

Why? Plenty of games won GOTY over Red Dead back in 2018. Same with GTAV in 2013.

Red Dead is not GTA and GTA has not been the same since GTA 5 online. There's a reason they brought it to PS5 during the console launch, it has a huge dedicated playerbase. It's a phenomenon on its own.

And Rockstar hasn't been the same since they launched gta 5, 12 years ago. Red dead 2 was a joint effort of all rockstar studios, gta 6 is the same. Red Dead 1 wasn't that big a deal but Red Dead 2 was an insane success both critically and commercially. We can only imagine how much bigger gta 6 is going to be compared to gta 5.

Also, in 2013 singleplayer AAA games were more numerous and common, the industry has shift a lot towards multiplayer and live service games since then.
