You'll be good with base PS5, all this Pro talk is just over the top right now, cause its not even official yet. I'm an adult with other s*** on my mind, so I really can't tell you whether or not I'll buy a Pro or not until I see what this s*** actually is.

Would be terrible business on Sonys part to have this game run like total s*** on base PS5. Base is for the consumer and Pro is like a tool for gamers who want the finer details the average consumer could care less about. GTA 6 still needs to run decently on the PS5 vs the Pro getting a refined version of said game.

98% just want to buy GTA 6, they don't want to walk up to the Gamestop counter and have a motherfucker trying to sell them a $600+ Pro, trying to explain to them why their PS5 is suddenly inferior. Gaming is already a luxury in itself, adding class-ism into it will most likely turn a good number of people off, but most won't care in the end.

I hope they'll take their time with GTA VI tbh so it runs the best on the system it'll be purchased on whether it's the base PS5 or PS5 Pro. But the difference so far between the base PS5 and PS5 Pro is so far noticeable enough that I don't think 80-90 % of gamers will ignore it if it's promoted enough... But yes I do agree the price of the base PS5 and PS5 Pro will be a deciding factor once GTA VI is indeed out some time in 2025 or if it gets delayed to 2026.

But it seems like so far that the PS5 Pro won't be above $600 and might even be $500 - $550 with the price of the base PS5 going down to $450 (Disc edition)/$400 (Digital edition)

The type of consumer thats looking to play GTA 6, I'm talking about the consumer thats gonna get this game to sell better then GTAV, will probably be more then likely to buy a Series S, before they buy a Pro. These people just want to play GTA 6, they could care less about specs, they just know that this $300 box plays GTA 6, and thats what they want.

I don't think anyone interested in a Pro will be buying one just for GTA 6. Most folks buying a Pro already knew they wanted such a product before it even released, like you.

True that... People want in the end the cheapest way to play because also playing it online costs money on consoles and then you've the micro-transactions stuff included that was made very popular in the last 5 years or more.

But yeah I don't think it'll just be for GTA VI like you said and I think 50 % or more getting the PS5 Pro will be people like me for example yes or what some other people will call the fanatics, geeks, enthusiasts etc.

Yea man, I can't really say I welcome a Pro until I actually see a finish product. But, Sony and other studios just can't start throwing s*** at the base PS5 and just tell a "50 million plus" userbase(that mostly just want to play the latest games)to upgrade to a 2nd version of the PS5. Gaming is already frivolous in most folks lives so, they'll just move on to something else.

Pro is for those people who care about the technicalities, first and foremost.

Yeah they need to do the right thing in the end... Which means taking advantage of what both the base and Pro version of the PS5 can do even if it means another delay as yes I do currently have a base PS5 but I am also planning to get the PS5 Pro so I hope GTA VI looks and runs how it's supposed to be on it

GTA 6 Production Reportedly Falling Behind, Rockstar Urges Staff To Return To Office To Avoid Delay (Aim Spring 2025, Could Slip to 2026)

Grand Theft Auto VI is likely one of the most anticipated games in history, with millions of players around the world waiting for any scrap of info or screenshot of the upcoming open-world crime simulator. However, as remote workers struggle with an unwanted return-to-office mandate from Rockstar Games, Kotaku has learned from sources with knowledge of the game’s development process that GTA 6 could miss its 2025 release window and slip into 2026.
Officially unveiled in December 2023 (after a massive 2022 leak) GTA 6 is the hotly anticipated follow-up to 2013’s GTA V. Over a decade after that game’s release—and its massive, still-growing sales numbers—Rockstar Games is hard at work on the sequel, which is set in Vice City, a fictional take on Miami, Florida. The game is set to come to PS5 and Xbox Series sometime in 2025, and internally that’s still the plan. Kotaku was told by sources with knowledge of the situation that “early 2025” is currently the goal.

However, Kotaku has also learned that it’s becoming more and more likely that the sequel might not land until late 2025. It’s also possible that it could even slip into 2026 as production reportedly falls behind.

Rockstar Games
In February, following numerous leaks, Bloomberg reported that Rockstar Games was mandating its employees to return to work five days a week in the office beginning in April. The short notice and drastic change caught many by surprise and has led to frustration from staff who feel like they are being pushed out after being hired remotely, as reported by Aftermath on March 19.
While security and quality are reportedly the main reasons Rockstar is instituting the mandate to return to the office, I was told by sources—who wish to remain anonymous to avoid possible retaliation—that development on GTA 6 has started “falling behind.” I’m told this has leadership at Rockstar nervous and worried about the game missing the 2025 window and slipping into 2026, and is another big reason the company is pushing for a return to the office in April.

At the moment, I’m told that Rockstar is still “aiming” for GTA 6 to arrive in Spring 2025. While an early 2025 release is the goal, sources say they aren’t sure if this will happen and a Fall 2025 launch seems more plausible and feasible. Meanwhile, delaying the game to 2026 is on the table as a sort of “fallback plan” or “emergency” option if needed.

And of course, it should be noted—and I was reminded when talking to folks about this situation—that Rockstar Games historically waits until the “last minute” to make changes or alter plans, so the next trailer for the game—no word on when to expect that—might not reflect a delay as the company pushes forward on development.

Kotaku has contacted Rockstar Games

Speaking to Aftermath, one employee shared concerns that after improving over the last few years, Rockstar Games could slide back into dev crunch as GTA VI enters the final part of its long development.

“We’re concerned about going back to that,” said one Rockstar employee to Aftermath.

“I’ve been through a couple of projects, both of which had crunch. The first one was extremely difficult. I had way less gray hair back then. ... We want to continue the strides we’ve made as a company to remove that toxic culture.”

Even if the game is internally pushed back until late 2025 or is publicly delayed until 2026, that doesn’t mean workers—who are being forced to return to the office against their wishes—won’t have to crunch. In fact, sometimes delays just mean more crunch. Regardless, it’s clear that GTA 6’s final year or so of development won’t be easy or quick as the company aims for early 2025.

That inevitable classic Rockstar delay is going to hit

It'll be late 2025

I hope this game comes out in 2030 and it SUCKS

It‘s time for war.
