GTA 6’s preposterously-gorgeous second trailer has me thinking ‘no-one does it like Rockstar’ isn’t just a compliment, but an omen

The trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been released, showcasing impressive graphics and attention to detail. The game is set for release in 2026 and is expected to be one of the most successful video games in history. Rockstar Games is in a strong position, with GTA Online generating significant revenue, allowing for a lengthy development period. Despite challenges in the gaming industry, including layoffs and the struggles of several studios, major projects like GTA 6 and others from prominent developers are underway.

Rockstar just revealed more about GTA 6—but left PC gamers hanging

Grand Theft Auto 6 is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, after being delayed from its original 2025 launch. A new trailer was released, garnering over 1.5 million likes within two hours, and the dedicated game page briefly crashed due to high traffic. The trailer introduces characters Jason and Lucia, who become involved in criminal activities after Lucia is released from prison. The game is set in Leonida, a parody of Florida, featuring locations such as Leonida Keys, Grassivers, Port Gellhorn, Mount Kalaga, and Ambrosia. Currently, GTA 6 will launch exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, with no confirmed PC release date. Speculation suggests a potential two-year wait for PC gamers, similar to the release pattern of GTA 5. Pricing details for the game remain unconfirmed, but it is expected to be higher than traditional new title prices due to its estimated budget nearing a billion dollars.

‘You can’t escape us’: Devolver plots to release a game on GTA 6’s release date, no matter when that is

Devolver Digital announced a cryptic message on X regarding the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, stating, "You can't escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then." The publisher is known for titles like Cult of the Lamb and Death's Door and is expected to unveil a game on the same day as GTA 6. Enter the Gungeon 2 is set for a 2026 release, while Hotline Miami 3 is speculated but not officially announced. If Rockstar Games delays GTA 6, Devolver may choose to release their game as planned or delay it. The timing may favor Devolver, as GTA 6 is unlikely to be available on PC at launch, potentially attracting PC gamers to an indie title.

This Windows 11 update broke a plane in GTA San Andreas…20 years later

After the Windows 11 version 24H2 update on October 1, 2024, players reported that the Skimmer seaplane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas disappeared from its usual spawn location and could not be spawned using mods, leading to game crashes. Silent, the creator of SilentPatch, investigated the issue and found that the game froze due to a bug in the CPlane::PreRender function, which was caused by a missing configuration in the vehicles.ide file. This bug had remained hidden for two decades and was triggered by changes in the Windows update. Silent confirmed that the issue would be fixed in the next update of SilentPatch.

Mystery of the vanishing seaplane: why did Windows 11 24H2 cause the vehicle to disappear from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas?

A coding error within Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas caused the Skimmer plane to launch into the sky after the Windows 11 24H2 update. The issue was traced to an incorrect calculation for the vehicle's Z axis in the configuration file, which had gone unnoticed until the update changed how the game processed positioning values. Prior to the update, the game read values from a previous vehicle, but the update introduced a new platform that altered this behavior, resulting in the plane receiving an excessively high Z value.
