"we're cooked": GTA 6 fans react to Rockstar's new post amid delay concerns

Grand Theft Auto fans were expecting Rockstar Games to drop information related to GTA 6 today (February 6). This was seemingly because we are in the title's release year and its developer's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, will host an earnings call in some hours from now.

Back in November 2023, Rockstar had announced the arrival of the title's first trailer just before an earnings call held on the same day.

The developer has made a social media post today, but it is related to GTA Online, which the fans don't seem too thrilled about. Reacting to the post, X user @billsyliamgta said:

"Never mind guys, we’re cooked."

Another fan, @SynthPotato, sarcastically reminded Rockstar of a "new game" that it is supposed to release later this year:

"You guys do remember you have a new game that's supposed to be launching in ~7 months? Right??? RIGHT???"

X user @GTAVI_Countdown urged Rockstar Games to focus, stating that this (post about the February 6, 2025, GTA Online weekly update) isn't what people were waiting for:

"Focus, Rockstar. This isn’t what the people are waiting for".

The lack of any new information since the first GTA 6 trailer (back in December 2023) has also concerned a section of fans speculating about a possible delay.

It should be noted that Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 also faced delays, the latter on multiple occasions. These events have seemingly contributed to fans speculating about a possible GTA 6 delay too. That being said, as far as any official word on the matter, there have been no suggestions or announcements so far.

Fans look forward to Take-Two Interactive earnings call in hopes of getting GTA 6 information

While Rockstar Games has remained silent about Grand Theft Auto 6 after releasing its first trailer, Take-Two, on the other hand, provided an update during its May 2024 earnings call. This was the title's Fall 2025 release window announcement, and the same window has been reiterated in all earnings calls held since.

Fans are now looking forward to the next earnings call to see if any suggestions are made about the title still being on track. This might be provided at the event, but that cannot be guaranteed at the moment.

Nevertheless, with the next Take-Two Interactive earnings call set to be held in a few hours from this writing, fans won't have to wait too long to find out.
