GTA 6 LIVE: Official release date update will be revealed imminently

GTA 6 PS Store page changed - again

The PS Store page for GTA 6 has been reverted back to how it was before it included details of the GTA+ membership.

The page was updated a couple of days or so ago which prompted speculation there could be an update on GTA 6 or that preorders may soon start.

However it has now been reverted to how it was before that change.

Full story: GTA 6 studio offices hit with protests after more than 30 employees fired

Protests have been taking place outside of Take-Two Interactive's London offices after more than 30 employees were sacked at Rockstar Games, the developers of the Grand Theft Auto series. Take-Two is the parent company of Rockstar.

IWGB (The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain) trade union accused Rockstar of "union busting", claiming staff members were dismissed over "trade union activity" - but Rockstar said those staff were dismissed due to "gross misconduct".

A Rockstar spokesperson told Bloomberg: "Last week, we took action against a small number of individuals who were found to be distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies.

"This was in no way related to people's right to join a union or engage in union activities."

But IWGB has been "fighting back" against Rockstar and held a protest outside Take-Two's London offices on Thursday (6 November), adamant the dismissals have been "unlawful and retaliatory".

GTA Online and GTA+ announcements have some huge updates

In updates for GTA Online and GTA+, Rockstar Games' premium subscription service, some key details have been noticed on social media.

The first is that it appears the big December update for GTA Online will start on 9 December as GTA+ benefits have been updated with the current round "available through 8 December".

It's expected this will be the Mansions update and this was teased in a Rockstar Newswire post about the latest GTA Online update where an image was shared of a Prix Luxury Real Estate sign saying 'coming soon' with Los Santos in the background.

Accompanying it is the caption: "Get ready to move up in the world. Starting next week, make sure to get in on the ground floor of a new extravagant era in Los Santos luxury real estate. Raf will be in touch..."

The second is GTA Online on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S has been added to the library of games available through the GTA+ subscription service - but players will still need the relevant online membership as well, such as PS Plus or Game Pass, to play.

ICYMI: Official release date update guaranteed imminently

Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two is hosting an earnings call tomorrow (Thursday, 6 November) and that means there will be an update on GTA 6.

Every quarter, Take-Two hosts an earnings call to give shareholders and stakeholders an update on the performance of the company to drive interest and investment and the next one is scheduled for tomorrow at 9.30pm GMT / 4.30pm ET / 1.30pm PT.

Usually, announcements are made by Rockstar ahead of such earnings calls if anything has changed - for example, the studio announced the GTA 6 delay and shared trailer 2 and new screenshots before a scheduled earnings call in May earlier this year.

So news could be shared before then.

If not, since GTA 6 trailer 1 released in December 2023, there has been at the very least a mention in every call about the release date of the most anticipated game of all time.

So either way, there will be news about GTA 6, even if it's just the release date currently remains on track around six months ahead of its release.

As always, indy100 will be covering all things GTA 6 live and the earnings call itself, so stay tuned for all the very latest as it happens.

Viral GTA Online mod reaction

Blurbs' brilliant GTA Online mod has been going down very well in the Gaming Subreddit.

On a post, Jaiden051 said: "You need to stop this before you become too powerful."

AgitatedFly1182 said: "This has to be a random event in GTA 6."

Arbegia said: "Now I genuinely want a serious version of this mod where whenever you're busted, you are properly taken to court instead of a game over, with prosecution / fines and all. That would be so cool."

kelariy said: "If I ever get taken to court, there better be a shark in the jury. How else could it be a true jury of my peers?"

A_Tree_branch said: "Excellent use of free will."

Brilliant GTA Online mod goes viral

We had to share this - Blurbs, an ex-software engineer turned creator who regularly streams content of and makes mods for Rockstar games, has brilliantly "modded insurance fraud into GTA 5".

Whenever Blurbs is in a car and a pedestrian collides with his vehicle, with pedestrians going out of their way to dive in front of him, the game cuts to a trial where the paperwork and trial itself are entirely scripted by his Twitch Chat.

And the results are hilariously chaotic.

Ridiculous incident report questions include "s**g marry avoid Trevor Philips, Arthur Morgan and Lester" and "weight divided by seven rounded to the nearest 10th".

The pedestrians state the effect the collision has had on them in a courtroom with a judge giving their thoughts on the case, alongside a jury who brilliantly comment.

There's even a shark as a jury member later on in the video. It's simply brilliant.

'Rockstar could be preparing new GTA+ tier'

There are claims online that Rockstar Games "could be preparing to release a new GTA+ tier". GTA+ is Rockstar's premium subscription service.

As summarised by @videotechuk_ on X / Twitter: "Some sudden activity happened on Monday on Steam's backend with a whole new Steam package on GTA+ main changelog.

"Details are little right now but if I had to guess it could be for ROME (the new FiveM rival) with additional benefits."

FiveM is the biggest GTA RP (role-playing) server and Project ROME is rumoured to be Rockstar's own modding service for GTA 6 but this is currently unconfirmed.

Red Dead Online update

Away from Grand Theft Auto for a moment, Rockstar Games has shared the monthly update for Red Dead Online.

An update from Rockstar said: "November brings an increasing chill and the bounty of Thanksgiving to the frontier. Prepare for the holiday feast by hunting for turkeys and other wildlife, making plenty selling Perfect Carcasses, completing Trader Sales and more in Red Dead Online.

"In the spirit of Thanksgiving generosity, all Saloons are offering free food, drink and provisions from 25 November through 1 December. Persistent Posse Setup Fees are also waived, so rustle up some friendly faces and mosey up to the bar."

Renowned GTA and Rockstar Games dataminer Tez2 claims fans should not worry about delays and hinted that previews could actually be on the way soon.

On a GTA Forums post, Tez2 said: "Instead of worrying about delays, some of you better start translating once the French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese etc previews drop."

The game's release date remains scheduled for 26 May 2026 at the time of writing.

Lester actor 'confirms' how long Rockstar has been working on GTA 6

Jay Klaitz, who plays Lester in GTA 5 and GTA Online, has seemingly confirmed how long Rockstar Games has been working on GTA 6.

Speaking to The Escapist, when asked if GTA 6 deserves to be the first $100 game, he said: "Yeah dude. I mean, GTA 5 was so heavy on the mocap. I assume that GTA 6 will be the same way and these games take so long to make.

"Years and years and years. It's not like they've just been hanging out, chilling and then just started doing the work last year.

"They finished GTA 5 and then started on GTA 6 more or less immediately thereafter."

Dan Houser thinks GTA 6 launch will be even bigger than GTA 5

Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser said he thinks GTA 6 will have a much bigger launch than GTA 5, which is currently the game with the highest grossing launch ever, generating $800m in its first 24 hours and more than $1billion in its first three days.

Speaking with Lex Fridman, when asked if GTA 6 will have a bigger launch, Houser said: "I assume it will because it's so anticipated and anticipation is the best driver of early sales as we saw with GTA 4 compared to Red Dead Redemption 1.

"So I assume it will sell really well. That was never my definition of success but you certainly wanted to make money."

When asked why there's so much anticipation around Grand Theft Auto titles, Houser added: "Because they don't come out that regularly and I think [when Houser was at Rockstar] we did a really good job of innovating within what the IP was."
