Rockstar just wants us to buy gta6 twice

I remember when GTA 5 came out for ps3 near the end of its life cycle. The ps3 game, (which was fun) ended up being a glorified demo for the real deal on the ps4, which wasn’t just a remastered gta5 with better graphics, it was a new game with new features. It’s clear that the ps4 game was in progress with the ps3 game. The ps3 gta5 may have even been completed long ago, but only allowed to be released based on the schedule of the next gen game.

Seems like they are following a similar path with the gta6; likely on purpose.

Rockstar will probably release a ps6 version in 2027 or 28, which will more than likely be feature complete (as an incentive to make people guy the game again).

The result? 70% of us will probably buy the same game twice, just like I did for gta 5.

I think that’s why the game is taking so long. They are probably fairly far in supporting a transition to newer consoles already.
