من منظور الأعمال، من المنطقي استراتيجيًا أن تسعى روكستار وتاكي-تو لزيادة الأرباح من خلال إطلاق جراند ثيفت أوتو 6 عبر جيلين من الأجهزة في وقت قصير متتالي، تمامًا كما فعلوا مع GTA V. تم إطلاق هذا العنوان على PlayStation 3 في سبتمبر 2013، أي قبل بضعة أشهر فقط من ظهور PS4، ووصل إلى الجهاز الجديد بعد عام في نوفمبر 2014. وبما أن هناك شراكة وثيقة بين سوني وروكستار في هذه الجيل، فمن المرجح أن يكون المطورون قد حصلوا بالفعل على نماذج أولية لـ PlayStation 6.
مع النظر في الأنماط التاريخية، فإن أجيال PlayStation تلتزم دائمًا بدورة تتراوح بين 6 إلى 7 سنوات: PS1 (1994)، PS2 (2000)، PS3 (2006)، PS4 (2013)، وPS5 (2020). بناءً على ذلك، من المرجح أن يصل PS6 حوالي الخريف عام 2027. لاستنساخ استراتيجية الإطلاق المزدوج، قد يشهد GTA VI تأخيرًا آخر - ربما في منتصف أو نهاية عام 2027 - مما يسمح له بالإطلاق على PS5 ثم بعد فترة قصيرة على PS6، مستغلًا مبيعات كلا المنصتين. بينما أتمنى أن لا تتحقق هذه التنبؤ، إلا أن الحافز المالي غير قابل للإلغاء.
RemindMe! One Year “GTA6 bet”
I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Given our luck, AI annihilation will probably happen before GTA 6 releases.
I suspect this will be the last major release for this console generation, though another delay wouldn’t surprise me.
They can certainly afford another delay, much to the dismay of fans. It’s the most anticipated game ever.
It all makes sense now. I like Rockstar for their high-quality games, but they seem greedy, and their treatment of employees is a shame. The PS5 generation has been disappointing, and I wish we had more games. However, Sony is already working on the PS6 and planning with Rockstar for GTA6, just as they did with the PS3 and PS4.
I can’t get excited about a game from a union-busting publisher. It might sound strange, but part of me almost hopes the employees are found guilty if evidence emerges, so I could play Rockstar games without guilt. Until there’s evidence either way, I have to side with the workers. As a union worker myself, not a CEO, that’s where my loyalty lies.
You’re right about this generation. The PS5 is a fantastic console in terms of specs and features, and it’s apparently great for developers to work with, but the games themselves have been lackluster. I don’t think we’ve seen any defining titles that fully utilize its power yet. The first game to really push it will probably be GTA 6.
Hopefully GTA will push the limits.
This generation seems obsessed with unnecessary remasters like Days Gone. The original game was already perfect and didn’t need a remaster.
Half of the PS5 games are remasters or remakes of PS4 or even PS3 titles. The other half are native PS5 games, but they’re sequels to IPs that began on PS4 and feel like they could have been PS4 games. For example, Ghost of Yotei is visually impressive, but it seems like a PS4 game with sharper graphics and faster frame rates.
The game will likely be released for PS5 in 2026, followed by PS6 in 2027, and finally on PC in 2028. This staggered release strategy maximizes revenue from each platform.
I hope this is the final delay.
I feel the same way, but I’m not too bothered by the delay because I have a huge backlog of games I still want to play.
I’m in the same situation. I’m currently replaying Platinum Ragnarok.
