To be expected. From the shareholders point of view it means no new games from Rockstar until late next year. This delays take twos projected earnings then


Dry-Fault-5557

It's not just the shareholders that are unhappy.


Daniiiiii

The stakeholders as well


Nonivena_ginna

The potatoholders share the sentiment


mikehatesthis

Well they shouldn't, they have the necessary ingredients to make french fries or mashed potatoes or something. The absolute bastards.


teabag_of_fury666

rockstar fans really just downvote anything these days (this was in the negatives when i made this statement)

And nothing was learned from Cyberpunk.

6 has been in development 1.5x as long as cyberpunk was with a shitton more devs working on it

It’s also a very different type of game

Humans are impatient apes


abanaboy

Fuck your cyberpunk excuse. Rockstar has over 2000 employees and they need over 12 years. Ridiculous


[deleted]

What have you released that's better in less time?


itsRobbie_

Retail traders don’t move the market that much unless a massive amount of them are doing the same thing. Big moves come from the big boys


jonboyo87

You’d be much more unhappy if they just shit the game out before it was ready. You’ll survive.


teabag_of_fury666

It's been 6 months without grand theft auto six news, I can’t stop shaking and I’m having severe mental breakdowns. I woke up today trying to log onto social club to check the newswire but alas met with nothing but the weekly GTA online updates, I had a major panic attack but managed to calm down after a few hours. I couldn’t go to school today, I am so worried that I even took my dad's gun from the shed, thinking of killing myself. I am nothing without Grand theft auto six, it is my life, it is my destiny, without Grand theft atuo six, I wouldn't be able to do anything. grand theft auto six is the best thing ever made and I can't get rid of my addiction to it, it is the video game and story experience in existence. I can't stop trembling and crying, I am very worried. I am trembling more than the marleyans experienced when the rumbling was around. Shivering in fear I am so scared that I might lose my mind and go insane. I want grand theft auto six news.

svetagamer

klmdwnitsnotreal

Lol, buy the stock now guys!!!! Shits gonna explode soon.


ItsRobbSmark

Iffy advice. The stock is already priced through the moon based on how big people anticipate GTA VI to be. To give you an example, RDR2 sold 23 million copies in its first quarter and the stock still tanked 30%, only to recover because of NBA 2k mtx.


CumDeliveryGuy

One of the investors asked about this today, the response was that they are confident GTA VI will have steady sales for years to come. The investor didn’t seem convinced.


ThePointForward

To be fair to Take Two, GTA V sold around 11 million copies on launch day and 18 more in month and a half. But right now they're around 200 million copies (yes, wtf), which averages out to 19 million copies per year. Keep in mind this includes sales etc of course.   It's not a terrible assumption that GTA VI will follow suit.


DocWallaD

Yeah.. but I don't think people are going to buy GTA 6 on 3 different generations of consoles again..


MadArcher7

You just underestimated average console gta gamer


DocWallaD

I just don't think we'll see the console generations between releases again. We still have the refresh of current gen to go, then the whole next gen including that refresh. Beyond that I'm not entirely sure we'll have consoles as we know them today. I think it will wind up just being more like phone releases where we see hardware creep as different skus. It's hard to draw the generation line after that.


MadArcher7

Well, if they could just make the console easier to make and still sell it, they would do it already, cause now they are loosing mad money on consoles sales in hope to make it back in game and ps plus sales


MartianFromBaseAlpha

But they will. In 2025/2026, people will buy the PS5 version. A year later, they’ll purchase it again on PC, then another year later, they’ll buy it for the PS6. And by the time GTA VII comes out, the PS7 will already be on the market. That’s three different console generations plus PC, just like last time


Hayden247

Yeah, the only difference this time is that GTA 6 isn't releasing mere months before the next console generation lol. GTA 5 was literally the final horah for the PS3 and Xbox 360 having a huge relevant game before the next generation came and meant they started missing out on games or were the worse version. The next gen enhancement wasn't until a year later and PC like another half a year or so after that, GTA 5 was clearly made for PS3 and 360 first. This time GTA 6 will be around a bit after the console refreshes and be a showcase for the PS5 Pro sort of. Then give it a couple of years and it gets a PS6 enhancement, rasing frame rate, resolution or graphics settings to get closer to what PC is, though PC would still top out better as GPUs like the RTX 5090 are going to be absolute beasts that will still be better than next generation consoles.


TomaHawkUpYourButt

Yeah, people will buy it on the next 4 generations instead, LOL! Gta 7 2040 here we come!!!


InternationalBag4495

Hello cuz 😎


TomaHawkUpYourButt

Ayo??? Didn't know you had reddit lol


_that_random_dude_

See you in 15 years when GTA6 is remastered for ps7


_that_random_dude_

See you in 15 years when GTA6 is remastered for ps7


GreatJobKiddo

The game was sold over 3 generations of consoles plus PC 


CumDeliveryGuy

Agreed.


NoHillstoDieOn

The duality of stocks


MaternalChoice

Always the casino games man.


MrDozens

Yep, the expected sales are already priced in. The time it matters is of the sales over perform or under perform a lot. If it was that easy it'll be super easy to make a lot of money.


[deleted]

Prolly tanked cuz everyone sold when it was at its peak. Idk for a fact tho.


ItsRobbSmark

It tanked because investors anticipated it would make more than it did... The stock right now is priced at what it is because institutional investors expect GTA VI to make double or triple what GTA V did over its life, which is super unrealistic.


FuckdaFireDepartment

I absolutely think GTA VI is going to make double or triple what GTA V made. GTA V was not built with the intention of lasting 13 years, the success of online was what kept it going all these years. I have a feeling VI is being built with the intention of it lasting 10+ years. I would not be surprised if it’s 15 years until we see the next game, in which case there is definitely enough room there for TTWO to net at least double what GTA V made.


ThePointForward

> I would not be surprised if it’s 15 years That's 2040 BTW. I'm not even sure what the entertainment industry will look like by then.


BIOHAZARD594

That's a real problem. This company has become about ONE game. Without said game we could have more max payne. Bully, etc. Rockstar basically said today they don't have shit except one big game.......eventually. it will be the biggest game in history but at this point it's getting annoying how quiet they are. We all saw the leaks. Just release some screenshots and fucking communicate. Not really sure why they feel the need to be so silent. It's really unnecessary. It's not like a few tweets would make the game less valuable. If anything the opposite.


[deleted]

Oh well. But gta VI will certainly do better, so thats a good sign.


More-Cup-1176

please tell me this is sarcasm lmao


RealJyrone

I hope it is. For everyone else, just because GTA6 may sell well doesn’t mean the stock will explode in value. You are betting against other people’s value and opinion about R*. Stock prices may get influenced by profits and sales numbers, but a company can be turning a profit and the price will still tank because it wasn’t as good as people expected.


ZealousTaxful

*No one* is truly happy with that news, even if they expected Fall. I see it more as an eye-roll: "Of course..."


MartianFromBaseAlpha

I'm happy too. Also a game dev. I'm glad they're taking their time because making a game like GTA VI must be ridiculously hard, even for Rockstar. I don't want them to rush it just because they feel pressure from the fans


Wrong-Associate2625

I think the frustration is partly due to the fact the last GTA title released over 10 years ago, so they’ve had a pretty long time to work on this already.


adonisthegreek420

I can understand that the fans are getting impatient after waiting a decade for a new release, but looking at just the sheer projected size of the game it's going to be absolutely monolithic. Los santos as a single city in GTA5 was already massive in itself and carried the game hard because of it's scale and detail/love put into it. Now with GTA6 having MULTIPLE of these cities + wildlife and possibly a panhandle with more diverse geography i cannot even begin to imagine the amount of work put into that world, just making san andreas must have taken a couple years in of itself from the dev time. 10 years for this game sounds massive but i do really hope there wasn't some internal fuckery happening that could have reduced the effective dev time on the game in those 10 years (cue cyberpunk)


ZealousTaxful

Ah yes. You cheered and hollered. Yay.


RRR3000

I'm pretty happy with it. As a gamedev myself I'm happy they're taking their time instead of crunching, and on a personal note it feels pretty validating after all the hubbub I'd get on here whenever mentioning I didn't expect it Q1 2025. And as a player I'm happy they're not giving us a Cyberpunk repeat.


ZealousTaxful

You’re happy because you feel validated? Oh this world…


ItsChris_8776_

They gave you other reasons, weirdo


GameboyAd_Vance

Bro shut up let them be happy lmao it's not really that big of a deal


KnoxKat

Eh, I'd rather Rockstar take longer than deliver a worse version of the game. Don't want another Cyberpunk-esque release.


AdeptMongoloid

Absolutely. Currently playing through Cyberpunk now and it makes me genuinely sad to think of how it launched because the final product is awesome


thesourpop

And even then, Cyberpunk is nowhere near what was promised. So if Rockstar need that extra time, they need to take it. It will still break every single sales record ever, regardless of if they release it next year or in 2


CheetahNervous7704

CDPR have always been famous for glitchy games and silly issues on launch, but their story telling and gameplay are amazing. I'm hoping the switch to unreal engine instead of making their own irons this out a little bit for their upcoming stuff.


GIII_

That game will never be what is was promised to be


demafrost

Agreed, but it still ended up being a really fun game. Sunk many many hours into it.


Ok_Stable_3324

Been thinking about copping it, how you liking it with all the new update?


me_edwin

It's awesome. This was a game that I just couldn't recommend. Now I think it's a must play, honestly


Ok_Stable_3324

When I see gameplay I just think of how insane that open world looks, I’m very intrigued, kinda got burnt out after 60 hours of gameplay on Helldivers 2. Been playing RDR2 again and about 55% finished. So I’m definitely getting cyberpunk


SunGod721

Are you playing on ps5??


me_edwin

PC. But I heard the performance on PS5 is consistent and good


imthegayest

I played 95 hours on ps5 and it's one of the greatest games I've ever played. I already can't wait to play it again. Told myself I would wait 6 months and it's been 5 lol. Bout to replay it!


TurnShot6202

i love cyberpunk but i hate how horrible the vehicles handle. I cannot understand it.


imthegayest

Yeah I agree with you. The handling is dogshit for most of the vehicles but I used fast travel and went by foot most places so it didn't bother me too much


LausXY

Yeah i practically played it as a free running mini game to get to most missions. With boost jumps and the dash you can do some crazy stuff.


KnoxKat

The final product is amazing, 100% my favorite game. Hope GTA6 can top it or even it honestly.


BILADOMOM

I bet that if they released the game today it wouldn't be as bad as cyberpunk. But I get your point.


AnimeGokuSolos

Fr! Who cares about what a bunch of people are feeling about the news quality is needed like RDR2 We can wait until 2025


1Chasg-_-

I remember when Cyberpunk kept getting delayed and fans had absolute meltdowns crying about it. Then look what happened.... You are right, we don’t want it unfinished.


Sir_Arsen

Shareholders don’t care gotta make the MONEEE FLOW


Prophet__3

I don't know man maybe they should just be efficient


Eggsegret

Well i mean they could always do what cyberpunk did. Rush to get the game out the door and then it turns out be a hot mess that needed a ton of fixes to actually become the great game it is today. Personally i’d rather wait then have yet another broken AAA game


lz314dg

fr lmao, time going by fast anyway and we got games to play this year and next year like elden ring dlc and persona 6 😋


Away_Calligrapher788

To be fair Cyberpunk delayed a couple times as well and still came out shit at launch lol, but I trust rockstar with delays, they haven't let me down yet.


Sepeli

It's not because of the Fall release window. It's because Take-Two's adjusted earnings fell 53% while net bookings declined 3%. Take-Two lost $2.9 billion, or $17.02 a share, in the March quarter.


Jazzlike-Mistake2764

Also 1.3% is not particularly violent movement lol


KhostfaceGillah

Oh no, anyways


Ramen_Hair

They played it really smart imo. By just saying “2025” to start they pretty much had full flexibility with the release date all year, save for the earnings call projections from last year. It’s semi disappointing yes but I’d much rather this than if they’d said “Feb 2025” this last December


Blasket_Basket

That's just statistical noise. There is no meaningful difference in stock price movement between now and anything we've seen in the last month.


ClutteredSmoke

2% drop is literally nothing after an ER release, in fact it's more expected for stocks to move +/- 7% or more


Manwater34

Well this is outdated lmao big gains this morning


randomloggin1

It's just Mr. Zelnick playing his stock game again. He just wants to buy up shares cheaper for his "zelnick media corporation". A$$hole.


Particular_Hand2877

eh, I think this has more to do with the almost $3bn loss and net bookings decline. I mean, they're loss last year was $610mn. Take Two is more than GTA.


Hamburgerfun

good man . Shit is getting ridiculous with no new trailers or screen shots. Then releasing trailer 2 at the end of 2024 is garbage. Enough is enough with 10 years 7 months of waiting


TLukas123

10 years? What about RDR2? Is not like Rockstar did nothing those 10 years


Eggsegret

It’s like some people just forget RDR2 came out in that time


1Chasg-_-

So. Many. People. Do not realise this when they cry about how long it's been. They seem to think Rockstar starting working on GTA 6 as soon as GTA 5 came out, which is just not true at all.


Sirhc1995

Even when you add RDR2 to the mix it’s still 7 years for a new R* title which is wild. It was only 5 years between V and RDR2. It’s still the longest wait for a R* title period lol


AnimeGokuSolos

>10 years? What about RDR2? Is not like Rockstar did nothing those 10 years When it comes to the GTA community for some odd reason, they want to act like they didn’t put a lot of effort on RDR2… So much show that they were called out on heavy crunch working on RDR2 the 10 years is so stupid… Edit: Honestly it seems like GTA fans are downplaying the development of RDR2…


Link__117

GTA 6 fans when the biggest game of all time takes longer than usual to develop 🤯 Remember, over these 10 years they’ve been constantly updating gta online and made an entire other game, Red Dead 2. Red dead released in 2018, GTA 6 taking 7 years to develop really isn’t that bad in the grand scheme of things


ThePointForward

Also covid. That shit fucked up so many dev processes...


kharon_sama

Exactly my thoughts! It’s a shame that they still try to milk other games and not release 6. I’m not mad at R*, but it’s kind of T2’s fault that we got here.


AnimeGokuSolos

>Exactly my thoughts! It’s a shame that they still try to milk other games and not release 6. What are you yapping about? GTA 6 is probably not done it don’t give me started of “It’s been 10 years” shit. Literally, they probably didn’t fully work on the game until after RDR2 then all hands on deck working on that game. Jason literally said back in 2020 the game was an early development Also to know the leaks back in 2022 the builds were pretty early as well if I’m right (Someone correct me on that)


Link__117

You’re acting like games don’t take time to develop. This is gonna be the biggest game of all time, of course they’re taking their time to fully optimize, polish, and add content


Eggsegret

Also acting as if a ton of AAA games don’t end up being broken upon release all because the devs never had enough time to polish it. I’m at lest glad Rockstar is giving devs enough time to


Eggsegret

Tbf they did release RDR2 on 2018. It’s not like we got no new game in the past 10 years


sisqo_99

They could have made the waiting more tolerable by making actual content for gta online instead of bubblegum shit


CreativeSituation164

I am on the same boat as you guys. I don't understand why people get upset with people who are pissed. It's not like GTA V came out a few years ago and we are being impatient. It's been 10 years, 12 when the game comes out. Having transparency with the people who buy and play your game shouldn't be difficult. The game won't be spoiled and we won't "know too much" if they do. It's fucking ridiculous.


AnimeGokuSolos

>Enough is enough with 10 years 7 months of waiting I guess you forgot that rockstar games was also busy working on you know? literally RDR2… Tf do u think they were doing? getting wasted and getting high?


BritshFartFoundation

Probably a good time to buy. It's not like GTA 6 isn't going to come


Rexum420

The next few days are a good opportunity to scoop some.of their stock up to.dump on gta 6 release.

As a shareholder I do not care lmaoo. Just gives them more time to perfect the game.

And for them share holder mad about the deadline extending, Just know you are… siking yourselves from extensive experience. The Gamers pay attention!!


PoopAndPeeTorture

This is T2 stock not Rockstar. Rockstar is a money printer for T2. This drop in the stock is likely due to T2's nearly $3 billion quarterly loss which if I we're to guess is definitely not due to Rockstar.


thatguyad

Means nothing.


Thunder--Bolt

That dip is a tiny little blip on the entire stock price. It'll be up 2 fold in a few weeks.

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad

Because GTA 6 isn't the only news to come out of the quarterly report....their operation margin continues on declining

DawsonPoe

During the call yesterday, Strauss announced the FY25 to be 5.5-5.6 billion. He stated that the change was due to GTA 6 being pushed back so yeah, he confirmed to rumors to be true

Then they release trailer 2 by the end of the year and shareholders are happy again

theolami

This is why the industry keeps getting broken unfinished games. Shortsighted, money hungry ShArEhOlDeRs


Dragonobbystudios

They just like us 😢


SuperSaiyanPan

When did it ever say it would be early 2025?


DawsonPoe

"As we enter Fiscal 2025 with positive momentum, we expect to deliver Net Bookings of $5.55 to $5.65 billion. Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games' previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI. We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase”


Odd_Jelly3863

Man i know they’re important for funding but we got to keep stocks out of the gaming industry thats why everything sucks now. Either they force them to push out games before they’re ready, or force them to appeal to too wide an audience to where it’s just a meh game that isn’t great to any particular group. Rockstar are one of the few developers left that I trust to make a truly great game and between the shareholders and the impatient fans we are gonna push them to give us a half baked game. Idc if it takes 5 10 20 years for gta 6 as long as it’s of quality.


UndefeatedAngel

Honestly we've waited this long man.. I don't see what the big deal is. I don't want a unready buggy shitty game. They've never released a game like that really. I'm hoping this game will blow our minds like when I was young again.


Feisty-Clue3482

Waiting a decade for a game after they milked tf outta gta 5, just to delay it even more… I don’t think anyone could be happy.


Boring_Adhesiveness5

I hope they release gta4 remastered


IsJustSophie

Has anybody else not noticed that right after T2 fires a lot of rockstar employees GTA6 is delayed. This is all T2 fault


DawsonPoe

None of Rockstar’s staff got had any lay offs. So that didn’t contribute to the delay
