GTA VI delay

First of these are not my words and got permission to post this from someone else:

If it's any use, perhaps hope and an extra reason not to worry, I've noticed that Rockstar follows certain patterns, one of which is how they position themselves regarding the delays the game has received (two publicly and apparently two more internally).

Well, if we analyze it closely, the first official delay came on May 2nd, 2025, announcing the new release date as May 26th, 2026. According to the CEO of T2 himself, the game had an internal release date of November 2025.

Six months pass, and curiously, with practically six months left until the game's release in May 2026, we receive another official delay on November 6th with a message from Rockstar, postponing the game to November 19th. Looking at these two delays, it's noticeable that in all cases, they were made at the beginning of the month that would complete the final 6 months of the game's development.

So, using this pattern, if any delay were imminent, it would have already been made at the beginning of May.

But anyway, it's difficult to predict what Rockstar does, but at least some patterns exist within the ecosystem.

The rest of the weeks schedule is clear.

The weekly RDO post is out of the way, BiliBili is updated, and this week's GTO update was covered in last week's newsletter. It isn't often they post on Wednesday so Thursday or Friday is most likely but then again nothing ever happens.

I was chatting with a Best Buy employee (not a chatbot) AND

They told me to keep an eye on the Best Buy website tomorrow regarding pre orders could we get an announcement tomorrow?

Could be nothing but who knows.

This is why the Best Buy email wasn't created before the delay.

One of the most popular theories debunking the email is that it was made after trailer 2 before the delay and was automatically set out BUT why would the sale end on a Thursday the 21st the same exact day as the take two earnings call yes, it could have been a coincidence but it just lines up too perfectly they would want to get there sales up so they can talk about it at the earnings call.

but I don't know I could just be coping or something.

Let's just go over all the evidence for pre orders/trailer 3 one more time

  • Best Buy email
  • Rockstars newswire released a week early
  • Take Twos earning call
  • Sony already marketing GTA VI
  • Best Buy hasn't denied the leak
  • Tom Henderson confirmed the email
  • DetectiveSeeds leaks (I personally don't believe him)
  • "CTA Pre Orders" in Rockstars files
  • and more

GTA VI Pre-Orders

I know we all already know this but there's A 90% CHANCE of them actually dropping next week. That 10% is just it being delayed last minute or Best Buy fucking up big.
