So the closest thing we’ll get to GTA 6 Release Date decided to ignore Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive, release the game anyway, and put out a new trailer.
I’m talking about GTA Vice City, the next-gen edition. It’s essentially Vice City, but using Grand Theft Auto 4’s engine. So it’s the most modern version of the game that we can play until Grand Theft Auto 6 gets here. And many fans were excited about it, with really the exception of Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive.

And it was set to come out over the weekend on January 25th, and a lot of people thought, is it still going to come out? How are they going to put this out? Take-Two Interactive is going to be all over it. Well, they did end up putting it out. They released the entire game, and they put out a brand new trailer too, explaining the situation.
Nevertheless, we’re sharing the result of almost two years of hard work. Thank you for your intention, and enjoy watching. And so they put out a new trailer, essentially saying that it was available right now. I’m not going to show the trailer, just in case Take-Two Interactive is going psycho, and decides they want to remove it everywhere. But if you guys are interested in playing this for yourself, I will leave a link in the description.
I don’t know how long it’s going to be available, but it’s kind of the closest thing we’re going to get to Grand Theft Auto 6. Because it’s, again, a Vice City remake, but in GTA 4’s engine. So, you know, the closer we get to the modern games, the more it’ll be like a modern game. Getting to experience Vice City with a more upgraded engine.
Now, what’s interesting about this entire thing is, that you had some fans that were split. Or at least understanding why Rockstar did something like this. And I think the best explanation comes from former Rockstar Games developer, Obi Vermage.
We’ve talked about some of the statements he’s made online in the past. He likes to talk sort of behind the scenes about Rockstar, which is super cool. But regarding this, he said, The Vice City Next-Gen Edition mod for GTA 4 directly competes with the Definitive Edition.
GTA 4 and GTA 5

The Liberty City Preservation Project GTA 4 and GTA 5’s engine would interfere with a possible GTA 4 remaster. No idea what they’re working on. I think they should do that. There’s no point in getting angry about it. This is what companies are supposed to do. The best we can hope for is that they allow mods that don’t interfere with their business. Such as DCA 3, GTA 3 for Dreamcast.
As far as I know, they have recently been decent about letting these projects continue. And I agree with what he’s saying there. It’s just unfortunate that the guys that go on to create these mods and these projects spend tens if not hundreds if not thousands of hours working on this just to be removed with almost little to no communication. As far as what we know. Because let’s say you were just excited about this.
What are you supposed to say? And I understand it’s not Take-Two Interactive’s responsibility to explain everything they do and everything they’re within their rights to do. But at the same, it’s just kind of frustrating all the way around. So this is the closest thing we have right now to Grand Theft Auto 6.
They put out a new trailer. Their old channel got deleted. It’s been a crazy saga. Let’s just say that. However, regarding Take-Two Interactive, there is some serious hype surrounding them right now. This is an article that was published just a few hours ago on CNBC.com. Take-Two Interactive gets an upgrade from UBS as Grand Theft Auto 6 hype builds.
Again, that was on CBS. On Marketbeat.com, Take-Two Interactive Software, NASDAQ, TTW0, raised to buy at USB Group. And on Investing.com, USB lifts the rating on Take-Two to buy on Grand Theft Auto 6.
Essentially, this firm, USB, has upgraded Take-Two Interactive to buy from neutral, raising its target price to $230 from $175, driven by optimism in the demand for Grand Theft Auto 6. This is interesting timing because we know in just about a week or so, Take-Two Interactive is set to have their earnings call to report their quarterly results.

We also know that it’s around this time that Rockstar Games typically makes announcements on when the release date of their titles is set to come out. So you can see what’s going on here. All this seems to be coming to a head where we’re getting this upgrade from this big firm saying, hey, Take-Two Interactive, you might want to buy their stock right now.
We know that we’re just days away from their earnings call, and days away when Rockstar typically makes big-time announcements like they did in the past for Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, GTA 4, etc.
So long story short, if history repeats itself here, we could be looking in the next couple of days of finally Rockstar breaking their silence on Grand Theft Auto 6. You just hope that them breaking their silence brings good news, and that it’s not news of some sort of a delay.
At a minimum, if there is some sort of delay, give us something else to go along with it. New information about the game, screenshots, another trailer perhaps, etc. Whatever the case might be, don’t just say the game’s delayed, and then go another couple of months of silence.
We don’t want that at all. Again, hopefully, we hear from Rockstar Games soon. And again, all this is rather convenient, as again, Rockstar Games is doing something that I think is directly related to this earnings call, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to let you guys know as well.

Rockstar Games has a huge sale on Steam right now. That’s the last thing they’ve talked about on their social media platforms and their newswire. You can get 80% off of select Rockstar Games PC titles, and wouldn’t you know, it ends on February 6th, the exact date that Take-Two Interactive is set to have their earnings call.
So literally, almost every single Rockstar title is on sale in some way, shape, or form. Grand Theft Autos, Red Dead Redemptions, and some huge sales are going on there. In fact, because of this sale, Red Dead Redemption 2 hit the most amount of people that it’s ever had on the game, which is crazy.
So at the time of me making this video, Red Dead Redemption 2 sits at nearly 87,000 people playing right now just on PC, topping its previous record of nearly 78,000 in November 2023. So that is just wild to think about. The Rockstar Games is setting new records, even with just the tiniest little things they’re doing, like a PC sale, for example.
But again, the timing of that is very interesting. How it ends on the exact day that Take-Two Interactive is set to have their earnings call. So is something going on here? Rockstar, again, has been quiet over the last couple of weeks and months. When it comes to Grand Theft Auto 6, we haven’t heard from them in over 400 days.

What do you think is going to happen over the next couple of days? Will we hear from Rockstar on Grand Theft Auto 6? Will we get nothing and have to wait for Take-Two’s earnings call? Let me know what you think in those comments down below.
