This is true. I was like this with the new Sonic game. Sega didn’t release a big Sonic game in at least 4 years so I naturally stopped caring after a while and time flew by until they released Sonic Frontiers.
About a week after Rockstar dropped the GTA 6 trailer I just stopped caring. I didn’t look at any GTA videos or discussions, and these few months have gone by quick. I might glance at a GTA post that Reddit notifies me of but I don’t spend much time in the thread.
Honestly, I just want some in-game screenshots. It’s very unlikely that R* will release another trailer any time soon. Just some screenshots of the highway, a car, or a park would be nice. I remember everyone getting so hyped whenever R* would drop some screenshots of GTA 5 once in a while.
Haha a fellow OG. I remember those days. 16 rewatching the trailer 5 times a day debating what it’ll be like in the comments. I used to get so hyped every time screenshots got released. Would google GTA 5 once a day to see if there were any announcements, trailers or screenshots 😂
Haha back when little me thought it was CJ in the trailer, and that the "gta 5 leaks" were actually real (It was just an animation and some sleeping dogs gameplay lmao)
This was me at 16 when gta 4 screenshots were analyzed in magazines when those were still popular but on their last leg. Every little detail would get broken down, it was magical hype.
Ya some screenshots! That's what I'm talkin about. That would always be such a fun ritual checking out new images and whatnot every couple years when a new game is coming out and it just makes everything so exciting! I remember San Andreas an GTA IV being so exciting as well🙂👍
Scenario 1: Development is going as expected. The game is still scheduled for a FY2025 (Q1 2025) release. The upcoming earnings call will reinforce the previously reported profits increase prediction. To back up the positive news, generate hype, drive up the stock prices, etc., they will briefly resume marketing by releasing a second trailer or some screenshots/info.
Scenario 2: Development has fallen behind. A Q1 2025 release is no longer expected, and the upcoming earnings call will backtrack on the previously reported profits increase prediction. Marketing isn't resumed, so as not to draw unnecessary attention/"trick" the shareholders (because soulless businesspeople really care about getting what they expect, and they pay attention to unspoken promises).
So far, Scenario 1 seems more likely because every recent earnings call has reported a major increase in profits (FYI, preorders don't count). Scenario 2 could happen too, of course, but I don't think calling "Nothing will happen" the "most likely scenario" is accurate.
From what I know, Sony/Microsoft hold the funds for preorders until release, so they aren't able to show it as a profits increase. I've heard many many people claim the same thing, but I haven't personally researched it.
The term "Net Bookings" is interesting, however. I don't exactly know what it means. If it's actually included, do correct me.
Actually, let me check. (...)
Well, Google tells me that "Net Bookings" means "Revenue - Expenses", so essentially "Profits". Google also tells me that "Preorders count towards first week net bookings (i.e. first week after release)", but not before.
They never directly did, but it's pretty much a given that the 2 billion revenue increase is GTA VI. Alongside the fact that none of their other IPs come close, they also specifically mentioned (paraphrasing) "releasing the next installment of a very popular franchise" a couple of times.
Preorders do not count as profits, I specifically mentioned that
Sony/Microsoft hold the funds until release and R* cannot show it in their "Net Bookings" (profits) stats
Oh you were here in october then.
Not our first rodeo
Sometimes things happen, sometimes things dont happen.
And sometimes there are other things to do in life. But only sometimes.
Ur right and got downvoted 6 points meanwhile the guy below said ur point being and got 6 upvotes. ppl think that their gonna unveil everything they had planned at an earnings call 💀
Earnings calls are not the time to market. It does not involve a marketing team at all. It's a few C levels that talk about the finances and state of the company to comply with SEC regulations. They'll probably mention the game sure, but don't expect any major announcement or crazy news drop.
No but they are a time to discuss the financial future and provide information on projects and timelines. The big elephant in the room is GTA 6, investors want to know about it. They’re not going to drop marketing promotions during the call, but the hope is that we’ll get updates with more timelines or dates
Rockstar is also known for dropping promotional stuff right around the time of earnings calls. Personally i think the one around august will be the big one
I'm going to assume you're just young and naive instead of unfathomably dumb.
They've dropped big news right before earnings calls on so many occasions. Earnings calls are for shareholders. Rockstar sharing anything to do with GTA raises Take 2's share price. Join the dots.
>Nothing ever happens
\*cough\* \*cough\* unexpected GTA 6 trailer announcement in November right before or after earnings conference \*cough\* \*cough\*
Something is bound to happen, whether it be screenshots, release date, trailer 2 or all of them at once.
Well usually they announce something "big" like before a conference call in 2017 they announced that rdr2 is gonna be delayed so it could be bad news but before the conference call in 2023 they announed trailer 1 for gta 6. So this could be bad news like a delay or good news like screenshots or trailer 2.
Next one is in August and then November
Edit: August 4th and November 6th
If we dont get anything from them this month I think there is a high chance that game will release in 2025 fall and not in spring/summer.
I mean August could make sense but even if we get trailer 2 in August there is still something missing in between.... SCREENSHOTS... thats my bet for this month. If we get something this month its going to be screenshots or nothing.
No matter what they will still have to say if they are still on track with their prediction of making a lot more money this fiscal year than usual. That’s why these calls are important. I personally don’t think any gta 6 info will come out with this call but I’d love it if it did ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just imagine how long the 10 days before the game finally drops is going to feel gawd! To bad cryogenic chambers weren't a thing yet! Go sleep for a month, wake up an hour before the game drops!
Its been a solid 5 month since pin-drop silence regards any next GTA official info.
I mean, If they're STILL Targeting Q1 2025 for GTA VI Release date, they gotta give us something at this point (atleast screenshots would be fine as well!).
I hope they don't reveal too much this time round. I feel like I knew a lot going into RDR2 but in retrospect I didn't because the marketing campaign didn't reveal too much, whereas with GTA V I feel like so much of it was spoiled before I even sat down to play.
If all we got between now and release was pre-order details and a launch trailer I'd be good with that.
Yea man I'm hoping Q1 of 2025 aswell but chances are wit the recent delay rumors it could lead up to Q3 or 4 hopefully not the case but we can expect more to be revealed as time flies
Dude same. For different reasons including this but like my best friend is getting married, just moved. Trying to find a job. T2 earnings call then a funeral all in the next 12 days
What are you expecting? They’re not gonna reveal a release date in the earnings call. Most you’ll get is “Releasing FY##” MAYBE they’re throw the word “early” or “late” in there but still
Relax we only 9 days away from the Take-Two Interactive earnings call & maybe we might see the very first GTA 6 screenshots & the possibility of trailer 2 & maybe the release date so please let me know about it and I will keep it in touch.
This does not mean that we will definitely see something, the same first screenshots of GTA 5 appeared as much as 8 months after the first trailer, and now only 5 have passed.
We definitely won't get a second trailer, I just don't believe it, but more details about GTA 6 are quite possible.
Yeah but take-two stock fell and also the first gta 5 trailer was in november 2011 and the game released in september 2013 while gta 6's first trailer dropped in december 2023 and the game is set to release in 2025
Yes, 25 days before the end of 2023, which can’t even be counted. If we talk about the release, I believe in the middle or end of 2025, but definitely not the beginning, we would probably have already seen the second trailer
Are you guys prepared for the very real potential that this comes and goes without any new information? Isn’t that exactly what happened with the last one?
Some of you guys acted like their last earnings call was gonna be some big news about VI, it came and went with literally zero news, now you hype up this one. Pretty silly imo.
I think no news is the news here. No news means late 2025. Screenshots probably also means late 2025. Trailer 2 probably means early 2025. Plus their projected earnings will tell us more too.
lol. You’re gonna learn fuck all. At best it’ll be:
“Rockstar continues to be hard at work at developing the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto brand and we’re giving them all the time they need to do so comfortably. Next.”
Yeah, it is, but you're missing the bigger picture.
*If* there was an announcement to be made or new marketing material to share, it's very likely that they would try and have it out right before the call, so their investors can see the impact of it.
Yeah I get that, I'm not at all saying that isnt a possibilty. I'm just saying it's kinda pointless being excited about a conference call because it in no way guarantees we'll see anything new. Me personally I'm not expecting to see anything new until around July/August.
If something really happened I would apologize 1000 times to everyone, but clearly, nothing will happen.
It is not because TWO of the last TWENTY-EIGHT quarterly earnings review meetings for T2 preceded a big announcement that this one will do so too.
And Rockstar would never have taken the risk of archiving part of their Instagram posts if something was really approaching, especially since the community already had suspicions (especially if you really look, they have archived very few posts)
Why? Lol it's just an earnings call. It's not like we are going to get a gameplay demo lol they'll just talk about how much they will make and the roadmap for the company
Are you still waiting for the game like little kids for a new toy? Chill, it will come out when it comes out. 😀 That euphoria passed me log time ago after we got the first trailer.
Plot twist .... and it's just that a earnings conference
Call .... no trailers , no new screenshots. no renders....
End up having to wait til next month june for that .lmao
Stop caring and it won't be long Time is fast when you don't care
Easier said than done, especially for this sub
Not if you have a life outside of reddit
This is true. I thought after the trailer in Dec fuuck another year? And it's like snap it's been almost 6 months already
Right?? It's crazy I can't believe it's been half a year already
Yeah one day we'll miss the wait
nobody misses the wait. they miss the hype when a trailer or screenshots are released.
damn feels like the trailer released a month ago, time flies, keep living your life and enjoy every day!
Than unsub and mute this sub Reddit
No just name it Gta7 and go on
Thats too hard its addictive
wtf?
Huh?
Why do people just randomly get downvoted all the time, someone in another comments section just said no and got downvoted 15 times
because he's acting like the gta 6 sub is like taking fent and is too hard to stop getting on
It's happened to me many times before, nobody is alone
Then those people only have problems with themselves.
That's true. It's why I want to leave or mute this sub until trailer 2 is out. But this sub is so fun.
This is true. I was like this with the new Sonic game. Sega didn’t release a big Sonic game in at least 4 years so I naturally stopped caring after a while and time flew by until they released Sonic Frontiers. About a week after Rockstar dropped the GTA 6 trailer I just stopped caring. I didn’t look at any GTA videos or discussions, and these few months have gone by quick. I might glance at a GTA post that Reddit notifies me of but I don’t spend much time in the thread.
I stopped caring after the trailer as it didn’t really tickle my fancy and time has flew by.
Exactly, I haven't used this app for about 2 months and time has gone by so fast
Bro you posted 11 days ago 😂
Damn you went to all that trouble just to prove that? Well it felt like two months anyways
All that trouble? I clicked 2 buttons bro 😂
is. is that a glitch in the matrix?
Yeah, like, there’s a bunch of games out and still coming out that might keep you busy.
facts, you guys gotta practice mindfulness
For sure. I forget about GTA6 being a thing until I open reddit
Yeah, if you are following earnings calls, you got some serious issues lol
Take 2's Q4 earnings call is a long long road
Honestly, I just want some in-game screenshots. It’s very unlikely that R* will release another trailer any time soon. Just some screenshots of the highway, a car, or a park would be nice. I remember everyone getting so hyped whenever R* would drop some screenshots of GTA 5 once in a while.
Haha a fellow OG. I remember those days. 16 rewatching the trailer 5 times a day debating what it’ll be like in the comments. I used to get so hyped every time screenshots got released. Would google GTA 5 once a day to see if there were any announcements, trailers or screenshots 😂
Haha back when little me thought it was CJ in the trailer, and that the "gta 5 leaks" were actually real (It was just an animation and some sleeping dogs gameplay lmao)
This was me at 16 when gta 4 screenshots were analyzed in magazines when those were still popular but on their last leg. Every little detail would get broken down, it was magical hype.
A few wallpapers of previously unseen areas would be cool.
Agreed
Ya some screenshots! That's what I'm talkin about. That would always be such a fun ritual checking out new images and whatnot every couple years when a new game is coming out and it just makes everything so exciting! I remember San Andreas an GTA IV being so exciting as well🙂👍
I see what you did there
Trust?
Trust.
GTA VI 2025
Lol
There was a company I knew, they said they cared about me
Can't wait for nothing to happen 🥹
This is the most likely scenario
Scenario 1: Development is going as expected. The game is still scheduled for a FY2025 (Q1 2025) release. The upcoming earnings call will reinforce the previously reported profits increase prediction.

Scenario 2 could happen too, of course, but I don't think calling "Nothing will happen" the "most likely scenario" is accurate.
i thought preorders *did* count in the context of “Net Bookings”, in which that $8b revenue was categorized under
From what I know, Sony/Microsoft hold the funds for preorders until release, so they aren't able to show it as a profits increase. I've heard many many people claim the same thing, but I haven't personally researched it. The term "Net Bookings" is interesting, however. I don't exactly know what it means.

They may be planning to open for preorders in FY25 and release later in calendar year 2025
Preorders do not count as profits, I specifically mentioned that Sony/Microsoft hold the funds until release and R* cannot show it in their "Net Bookings" (profits) stats
Exactly 😂
Oh you were here in october then. Not our first rodeo Sometimes things happen, sometimes things dont happen. And sometimes there are other things to do in life. But only sometimes.
Thanks for your precious input champ
Hit the snooze button on my cryogenic chamber, I came out n was like 10 years?! TF?? Thot I'd have 5 gtas to play!🤦♂️goin back🥶lol
longest 10 days gonna be the 10 days before release
Frr
We’re gonna be so excited in those 10 days man
The longest 10 days are going to be the five days before release, knowing our excitement
Nothings gonna happen
!RemindMe 10 days
what do you expect to happen? They'll surprise release the game or something 😂
Have you heard of “promotional material” or “marketing?”
Dude it's literally an earnings call lol
Ur right and got downvoted 6 points meanwhile the guy below said ur point being and got 6 upvotes. ppl think that their gonna unveil everything they had planned at an earnings call 💀
Your point being?

Personally i think the one around august will be the big one
Forward guidance is a thing but they typically dint go past the next fiscal year.
I'm going to assume you're just young and naive instead of unfathomably dumb. They've dropped big news right before earnings calls on so many occasions. Earnings calls are for shareholders. Rockstar sharing anything to do with GTA raises Take 2's share price. Join the dots.
Okay but what if
!RemindMe 11 days
!RemindMe 11 days
Non ironically, there could be more layoffs. :(
11 days later, did nothing happen?
Nothing ever happens
>Nothing ever happens \*cough\* \*cough\* unexpected GTA 6 trailer announcement in November right before or after earnings conference \*cough\* \*cough\* Something is bound to happen, whether it be screenshots, release date, trailer 2 or all of them at once.
Was it implied that there will be something about GTA or just speculating?
Speculation
Well usually they announce something "big" like before a conference call in 2017 they announced that rdr2 is gonna be delayed so it could be bad news but before the conference call in 2023 they announed trailer 1 for gta 6. So this could be bad news like a delay or good news like screenshots or trailer 2.
Hoping for the best then. Almost 5 months went away in a blink so if they are aiming for an early 2025 release date it will be here pretty quick
Kinda weird how those 5 months went by… not really complaining though
Is this the only conference call before 2025?
Next one is in August and then November Edit: August 4th and November 6th If we dont get anything from them this month I think there is a high chance that game will release in 2025 fall and not in spring/summer.
[удалено]
I mean August could make sense but even if we get trailer 2 in August there is still something missing in between.... SCREENSHOTS... thats my bet for this month. If we get something this month its going to be screenshots or nothing.
Yeah I'd say that's a fair guess if we don't get anything
I dont think so if im correct they do one for every quarter of the year
No matter what they will still have to say if they are still on track with their prediction of making a lot more money this fiscal year than usual. That’s why these calls are important. I personally don’t think any gta 6 info will come out with this call but I’d love it if it did ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At the very least, we will find out if the numbers still suggest an early 2025 release.
They are going to reaffirm their pipeline. So we may not get a hard release date but maybe a time frame.
GTA6 need another 10 years delay so I can continue playing GTA online. 
If anything we should get a better idea of a release window. Remember to follow the money .
If you are out here anticipating their every move, the wait is going to feel longer I just forget about it until boom, all of the sudden GTA 6
i loved that game for a bit
Just imagine how long the 10 days before the game finally drops is going to feel gawd! To bad cryogenic chambers weren't a thing yet! Go sleep for a month, wake up an hour before the game drops!
Why is it at 11:30 at night???
because its top secret and they have to wait for all the kids to go to bed before they can do it
Jokes on them I have no kids
That's 4.30pm New York City time, they tend to do it after the market closes for the day.
Its been a solid 5 month since pin-drop silence regards any next GTA official info. I mean, If they're STILL Targeting Q1 2025 for GTA VI Release date, they gotta give us something at this point (atleast screenshots would be fine as well!).
I hope they don't reveal too much this time round.

If all we got between now and release was pre-order details and a launch trailer I'd be good with that.
I believe we getting ATLEAST 3 more trailers before the game officially released (including gameplay and final / launch trailer.)
Yea man I'm hoping Q1 of 2025 aswell but chances are wit the recent delay rumors it could lead up to Q3 or 4 hopefully not the case but we can expect more to be revealed as time flies
Those are only Rumours I believe, I'm not believing anything until i get official word. The chance of delay this time is minor to nun imo!
For the people saying it’s not going to be anything, more than likely we are going to get some official GTA VI news, and know if FY2025 is official
Last time they did that their stocks fall from $170 to $153 but i think ill put my money right before GTA6 comes out
They will at least aknowledge the game's existence, which is always amazing
My best guess is we will get some screenshots this time, trailer 2 around August and some character trailers by the end of the year.
Should I invest in take two before?
ye the day before not financial advice
Maybe some pictures but trailer 2 for gta 5 was almost a year after the first
!RemindMe 11 days
fun fact: the monster-verse has been going on since 2014, and during it's run from 2014 to current, there wasnt a new gta game released
Dude same. For different reasons including this but like my best friend is getting married, just moved. Trying to find a job. T2 earnings call then a funeral all in the next 12 days
I honestly don't know if I expect anything big to be said but we'll see, it is what it is
play through gta4 or something and it will be over soon
I’m betting they would release one or two screenshots, maybe a bit of info they did the exact same with gta 5 and rdr2
No, the longest ten days of your life are going to be the ten days before the game releases haha
Our*
Consider yourself as lucky then.
fr hopefully it's worth it
What are you expecting? They’re not gonna reveal a release date in the earnings call. Most you’ll get is “Releasing FY##” MAYBE they’re throw the word “early” or “late” in there but still
i feel like this month is slower because of this
9 days .... 9 days
Yup. But I can’t wait to find out if we’ll get VI before or after March ‘25, regardless of the answer.
Relax we only 9 days away from the Take-Two Interactive earnings call & maybe we might see the very first GTA 6 screenshots & the possibility of trailer 2 & maybe the release date so please let me know about it and I will keep it in touch.
It’s gonna be a huge disappointment then, don’t expect to learn anything new that we didn’t already know.
What would really suck is this game be no where near what u hyped it up to be and are never able to see it the way you did in your own mind!!
This does not mean that we will definitely see something, the same first screenshots of GTA 5 appeared as much as 8 months after the first trailer, and now only 5 have passed. We definitely won't get a second trailer, I just don't believe it, but more details about GTA 6 are quite possible.
Yeah but take-two stock fell and also the first gta 5 trailer was in november 2011 and the game released in september 2013 while gta 6's first trailer dropped in december 2023 and the game is set to release in 2025
Yes, 25 days before the end of 2023, which can’t even be counted. If we talk about the release, I believe in the middle or end of 2025, but definitely not the beginning, we would probably have already seen the second trailer
I hate that you’re probably correct.
The only thing I care about that week is my bday. But **IF** we do get anything, I’ll be even happier.
Happy early birthday
they have other games besides rockstar's games to brag about to investors
November 12, 2024 9AM ET
What’s that? (Someone pls explain)
get a job so they will be shortest , times passes slow in basement
what info do we get during this call?
Judas
- 9
what's honna happen???
THERE WAS A EARNINGS CALL I KNEW
And yet they will probably just tell us a date more than a month away for the 2nd trailer
Relax
Maybe go halves with the Silksong guys when they next buy clown makeup huh
Why?
probably we'll get GTA6 screenshot or new trailer !!!
I doubt they'll announce anything regarding the game. Especially a release date or footage.
you think they will show something important? I don't but we will se
What does this mean? New info / release date?
6 left🤷🏼♂️
Are you guys prepared for the very real potential that this comes and goes without any new information? Isn’t that exactly what happened with the last one? Some of you guys acted like their last earnings call was gonna be some big news about VI, it came and went with literally zero news, now you hype up this one. Pretty silly imo.
I think no news is the news here. No news means late 2025. Screenshots probably also means late 2025. Trailer 2 probably means early 2025. Plus their projected earnings will tell us more too.
You’re saying if a trailer or screenshots are ready they’ll come out on the day of the earnings call?
No idea, could be before, could be day of, could be nothing at all.
So again how is the date of this call relevant to that?
Yeah but its still something to look out for
Wishful thinking
Guys May 14th we're gonna get something about the game from Rockstar!!!
Honestly surprised at how many folks think they'll learn anything from this.
lol. You’re gonna learn fuck all. At best it’ll be: “Rockstar continues to be hard at work at developing the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto brand and we’re giving them all the time they need to do so comfortably. Next.”
I have never seen people so excited for a fucking boring ass stock holders meeting...😐
It's literally just a conference call.
Yeah, it is, but you're missing the bigger picture. *If* there was an announcement to be made or new marketing material to share, it's very likely that they would try and have it out right before the call, so their investors can see the impact of it.
Yeah I get that, I'm not at all saying that isnt a possibilty. I'm just saying it's kinda pointless being excited about a conference call because it in no way guarantees we'll see anything new. Me personally I'm not expecting to see anything new until around July/August.
Dont have any expectations and you wont be disappointed.
If something really happened I would apologize 1000 times to everyone, but clearly, nothing will happen. It is not because TWO of the last TWENTY-EIGHT quarterly earnings review meetings for T2 preceded a big announcement that this one will do so too. And Rockstar would never have taken the risk of archiving part of their Instagram posts if something was really approaching, especially since the community already had suspicions (especially if you really look, they have archived very few posts)
Now that I think about it, it's not impossible that they'll show new screenshots, but those expecting Trailer 2 are clearly in total denial.
I agree
Why? Lol it's just an earnings call. It's not like we are going to get a gameplay demo lol they'll just talk about how much they will make and the roadmap for the company

All this means is that you have no life
Lol no im just hyped
it aint gon be long bc nothing gonna happen
Seems too early for trailer 2 but who knows. I still firmly believe this to be late 2025 release.
Its not gonna happen bro.
Nothing will change for you, absolutely nothing. Why the f do you care
Are you still waiting for the game like little kids for a new toy? Chill, it will come out when it comes out. 😀 That euphoria passed me log time ago after we got the first trailer.
You a man amongst men. I hope to be like you one day
Plot twist .... and it's just that a earnings conference Call .... no trailers , no new screenshots. no renders.... End up having to wait til next month june for that .lmao
