GTA 6 LIVE: Release date plan completely splits fans

GTA 6 release date plan completely splits fans

Rockstar Games’ release date plan for GTA 6 is splitting speculative opinion on social media.

In the GTA 6 Subreddit, Redditor Great-Juice-9894 reposted a Tweet from @GTA_Unlimited which asked: “What would you choose? GTA 6 at 30fps (frames per second) [or] GTA 6 delayed six months for 60fps?”

And fans are divided in their takes in the comments.

Real_human27 said: “Release today 15fps.”

Hyper669 said: “The PS3 was f****** fighting for its life to run GTA 5 at 30fps.”

Lukas123291 said: “Release at 30fps with no delay, then in six months drop an update with 60fps. But still, 60fps is 99 per cent not happening.”

zombieda said: “12 months, 120fps.”

GGG100 said: “30fps just means that they’re pushing the game on current-gen consoles as hard as they can. We couldn’t have gotten a game like RDR2 on the PS4 if they made concessions to run it at 60fps.”

To be clear, it’s not currently known what fps GTA 6 will run up to at launch and this is all speculation and debate.

GTA Online update

Rockstar Games has shared an update for GTA Online.

A social media post said: “This week in GTA Online, offload GTA$500k of Special Cargo to complete the Weekly Challenge and get a GTA$500k bonus plus the Rockstar Razor Aged T-Shirt.

“Plus bonuses on Treasure Chests and Hidden Caches, 2x GTA$ and RP on Overtime Rumble and more.”

Speculated driving missions

Using the speculated GTA 6 in-game map that’s been put together by the Mapping Project, one Redditor thinks gamers could be in for a mission with a heck of a long drive.

Choice_Professor1003 posted an image of the speculated map with a route drawn from the very top of the map, through Leonida and into the Gator Keys with the caption: “Already feeling the pain 😭”

The Redditor added: “Watch them put limited time on them missions as well. It’s gon be annoying asf doing these with limited time lmao.”

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

Y_A_D_Pain said: “I can’t wait for that one guy to drop a vid on the most boring places in GTA 6 idk why it’s so nice to just chill.”

fatcat051205 said: “Wouldn’t be surprised to be honest…”

GGReactor said: “You can tell this is fake because the path is too efficient.”

Aggravating_Sea_8081 said: “Pain??? Bro driving is the whole fun in GTA, can’t wait to finish story and later cruise the freeways in different cars. And even limited time missions will be fun.”

vuralkurtt said: “To be fair, it wouldn’t be a GTA where you have a mission that makes you travel through the whole map while showing you different interesting spots. It’s a tradition at this point.”

‘Possible detail’

A Redditor has spotted what they claim is a “possible detail that I haven’t seen talked about enough”.

In the GTA 6 Subreddit, Redditor Ok_Understanding7048 said: “Ever since trailer 2 I’ve been very interested in this clip from the trailer where Jason is just cruising in traffic. He’s matching the speed of NPCs and staying in the lane.

“I’m wondering if and hoping that it’s possible to match traffic speed the way you match the speed on your horse in RDR2. I would really love that for listening to talk radio or just overall immersion into the world.”

And others have been commenting with their takes.

NotA-Spy said: “This is interesting but I have a feeling it’s just staged for the trailer.”

lightjunior said: “I hope cinematic mode exists like it did in RDR2 where your horse would follow the way point automatically. So your character would drive to the waypoint automatically while following road rules. It’d be like how taxis work in GTA 5.”

Maciejk8 said: “Really hope the speed feels good on the highway. Disliked the feeling in GTA 5. The rubberbanding and traffic. Never gave you a sense of speed.”

Forme_Buffalo_6478 said: “I remember in San Andreas on the PS2, you could press the controller button gently so you could cruise with the vehicle. Isn’t a new feature.”

Chev–Chelios said: “Adaptive cruise control confirmed.”

GTA 6 gameplay speculation completely divides fans on social media

Speculation about what to expect from GTA 6‘s gameplay is completely dividing fans on social media.

In the GTA 6 Subreddit, Redditor Karmacop5908 reposted a Tweet from @WaterMuseum_ that said: “I worry that GTA 6 will graphically / technically look 20 years ahead of everything else but still just play like a GTA 5.3.”

Karmacop5908 added “my thoughts exactly” and others have been commenting with their takes.

JCDisciple777 said: “Did you like how RDR2 played? If so, you’ll probably really enjoy GTA 6. If not, well… I’m talking about how it feels for movement and parts of gameplay. Yes, the gameplay loop will be different. But the feeling of moving the characters, certain core mechanics such as greet / antagonize (already confirmed to be present in some form) and things like that will certainly be similar.”

No-Arm-4522 said: “They already were ahead in graphics with RDR2 back in 2018. People actually think all this time was spent on just graphics? It was likely mostly on AI, the activities you can do in the game, complex gameplay systems and the huge map. It looks like you are complaining that at the end of the day, the game you will play will be GTA. What kinda gameplay did you expect? If you didn’t like GTA 5 you wont like this game.”

playerlsaysr69 said: “GTA 5 wasn’t a bad game but it felt very featureless. No fast food, no buyable properties, only one CLUB etc.”

DetColePhelps11k said: “GTA 5 in single player felt a mile wide and an inch deep. Really beautiful and distinct districts and areas but little to explore and very little to do after the campaign was over. Plus a ton of dead mountain space that only existed to segment the map and increase the sense of scale for players. I hope GTA 6 plays more like RDR2 with more in-depth features and more things to visit.”

GhandisFlipFlop said: “There is no reason to think this, even going by the trailers…”

400 days since last GTA 6 content drop

Where has that gone… It’s been 400 days since Rockstar Games’ last GTA 6 content drop.

Rockstar shared a new trailer, screenshots, artwork and a revamped website on 6 May 2025 which was 400 days ago. But that’s been it – apart from the game being delayed again.

This was posted in the GTA 6 Subreddit by Redditor Great-Juice-9894 and others have been commenting with their thoughts.

Noah-x3 said: “If this was any other dev we’d assume the game had been cancelled.”

Giannisisnumber1 said: “They’re going for 500.”

SalimHakeem said: “Just wait trailer 3 will drop and they’ll overload us with info.”

SparkyGazelle said: “160 DAYS TO GO BOYS.”

JFrost47 said: “I’m sorry, FOUR HUNDRED DAYS without nothing. Jesus Christ 😢🤢”

GTA 6 online mode splits opinion on social media

Speculation about what could be included in GTA 6‘s expected online mode is splitting opinion on social media.

GTA Online launched a couple of weeks after GTA 5 and has gone on to be a resounding success for Rockstar Games. It’s expected GTA 6 will have its own online mode.

But what this could look like has split fans in the GTA 6 Subreddit.

Redditor Sharp_Elderberry_704 reposted a X / Twitter post from content creator Yangy that said: “My biggest fear is honestly that for the new version of GTA Online – instead of an open world crime sandbox with various criminal activities, stories, and jobs – Rockstar tries to chase the Fortnite / Roblox / FiveM bag by making it a litany of user-generated servers and content focused on mini games or RP or whatever. I don’t want another Roblox slopfest, I want GTA with friends.”

And others have been commenting with their takes.

TyLion8 said: “GTA Online needs a revamp…”

turtles1236 said: “With how much they make from GTA Online do you really think they’re gonna change what makes them rich?”

MadHanini said: “My fear is GTA Online too but again on Rockstar only focusing on this and with those shark cards. It’s so sad that we’ll probably won’t have another GTA build from 0, I totally believe Rockstar’s goal is to make like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, only updating forever.”

MuddySasquatch said: “Tie the world together in a cohesive way with RP and let moments happen naturally, that would pull me in far more than what they’ve been doing with GTA Online.”

Oceanz08 said: “So basically he’s like ‘I want GTA Online to be the exact way it was in GTA 5‘. This is why it’s good to not listen to random people on Twitter.”

GTA 6 online mode details have not yet been officially confirmed.
