GTA 6 LIVE: Next official announcement date revealed

Strip club screenshot reveals insane level of detail

An insane level of detail has been spotted in one of the screenshots of one of Vice City's strip clubs.

Pistoluislero posted a zoomed in image of one of the poles having "smudges and fingerprints" on it, saying: "It's wild how much detail Rockstar puts into their games. They don't just focus on the big things, even something like a stripper pole has smudges and fingerprints on it. That level of realism shows how far ahead they are compared to everyone else. I'm so ready."

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

BubbleDupple said: "I keep saying I'm going to wait for the PC release. That's going to be a battle..."

bigsugeinthelolo said: "GTA 5 Enhanced gonna look like GTA 3 when this comes out."

Icy-Exchange-5901 said: "No way this game is getting above 30fps."

ICYMI: Next official announcement date revealed

Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two has revealed the latest date the next official announcement on GTA 6 will be made - and it's less than a month away.

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.

The next one is scheduled for Thursday 6 November at 9.30pm GMT / 4.30pm ET / 1.30pm PT.

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.

As November will mark six months until the current GTA 6 release date of 26 May 2026, there is speculation swirling online Rockstar could be gearing up to make announcements about the game around the end of October or start of November - whether that's a new trailer, pre-order information or another delay.

GTA Online update

Rockstar Games has shared an update about GTA Online.

Posts on social media said: "The newest twist on GTA Online's classic Slasher mode is aboard the pitch-dark Ramius submarine.

"Navigate multiple decks, survive combat at close quarters, and evade a watery grave. Get 2x GTA$ and RP as part of the Featured Series from October 16-22.

"Win 1 Adversary Mode to complete the Weekly Challenge and get GTA$200k along with the Brown Vintage Werewolf Mask.

"If you've completed the past three weeks' challenges, you'll also earn the Vinewood Undead Collection rewards. Plus 2x GTA$ and RP in Acid Lab Sell Missions this week."

Reaction to Saints Row creator saying GTA 6 'deserves' to cost $100

Redditors have been reacting to comments made by Chris Stockman, the design director for the first Saints Row game, saying GTA 6 "deserves" to cost $100.

Speaking with eSports Insider, he did also say " I think GTA is the only one that can get away with it" and "it would be a disaster if everyone tried to match them".

But his comment about GTA 6 potentially costing that much specifically has done the rounds on social media and gamers have been reacting to it in the GTA 6 Subreddit.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 posted: " I wouldn't have minded paying $100 for RDR2 since I've spent thousands of hours in it. But let's be honest 90 per cent of AAA games today are garbage and don't even deserve $30, let alone $100."

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

AgitatedFly1182 said: "Yes that's obviously what's happening, that's why The Outer Worlds 2 originally announced a launch price of 80 USD right after Mario Kart World's price was revealed before being shouted back down to 70."

Lane8323 said: "If they do it once it opens the floodgates."

bxgtvn said: "Yes but imo, $100 for ANY game is outrageous."

Dund3rGuy said: "I hope it comes out and its like 60 dollars so then nobody will buy the 100 dollar bad games."

Saints Row creator says GTA 6 'deserves' to cost $100

Chris Stockman, the design director for the first Saints Row game, has said GTA 6 "deserves" to cost $100 in an interview with eSports Insider.

"I think that there’ll be a tremendous amount of backlash if everyone switched to $100," he said.

"Not all games are created equal. I think GTA is the only one that can get away with it and I hope they do. I really hope it's $100. I think it deserves to be $100.

"The scope and magnitude of this production deserves that price tag but not everything is treated equally. It would be a disaster if everyone tried to match them."

Another Red Dead Online update

Rockstar Games has shared another update for Red Dead Online.

A social media post said: "Experience two new Spoils of War Halloween variations in Red Dead Online - The Fort and Blackwater (All Hallows Edition).

"Get 2x RDO$ and XP on these locations in the Featured Series through 20 October."

Cheeky GTA 6 nod in new GTA Online trailer?

There's a new GTA Online trailer that seems to have a cheeky nod to GTA 6 that has been doing the rounds on social media.

Rockstar Games shared a new one-minute trailer for GTA Online but the video is currently Unlisted on YouTube.

At the very start of it, a voiceover says: "I'm afraid our time isn't up yet."

Is that a cheeky nod to GTA 6? It certainly feels like it and seems to be something Rockstar Games would do...

Huge gameplay feature 'revealed'

More about how the weapon wheel could work in GTA 6 has been 'revealed' by renowned dataminer Tez2.

On GTA Forums, responding to a comment, Tez2 said: "I believe last year they [Rockstar] experimented with smaller wheels, or sub-wheels, within the big weapon wheel.

"But this may have since been scrapped, or updated to a different style."

This has not been confirmed by Rockstar.

Rockstar Games tribute to D'Angelo

A social media post from Rockstar said: "Rest In Peace D'Angelo, a true titan of soul.

"We are eternally grateful for his track 'Unshaken' which will forever be an enduring part of the legacy of Red Dead Redemption 2."

Single-player v multiplayer debate

A thread in the GTA 6 Subreddit has gone viral with Redditors debating about the expected different modes.

Sharp_Elderberry_704 reposted a X / Twitter post from @GTA_Unlimited that said: "'In GTA 6, I'd prefer a longer single-player story mode over the best online experience.' Agree or disagree?"

And the comments have been flooded.

OkYogurtcloset8120 said: "Online has years to evolve. The story is 100 per cent what matters more at launch."

Asalth said: "If it's the same as GTA Online currently is I won't even touch 6's online I really just have no fun with it. I'll end up playing the story multiple times."

NoBullet said: "I'd prefer a lot of free roam things to do so I don't go online."

Downtown_Ideal_791 said: "Definitely story mode is a must."

AdaptedInflitrator said: "1000 per cent agree. Come on now. No one watched the trailers and thought of Online first. Both trailers were all story mode."
