Just a quick reminder for anyone skimming: gone gold, 30 FPS across every console (with PSSR and ray-traced shadows on PS5 Pro), and the up to 212 GB pre-load are all officially confirmed. Meanwhile the 18 Nov review embargo and online mode coming in 2027 are still only reported, not confirmed by Rockstar yet. Five days out though, we’re almost there.
Okay, theory time: the reason online is reportedly targeting 2027 isn’t because it’s behind, it’s because Rockstar knows everyone will be busy testing the six-star wanted level and cops remembering you after you escape. Also another theory—based on the launch trailer, Lucia’s ankle monitor and Jason’s army past are gonna restrict where you can travel in Leonida at the start. Calling it now!
@PatchNotesPaul yeah and honestly paying extra for a PS5 Pro just to still get 30 FPS feels tough on the wallet, even with ray-traced shadows lol. On the flip side, Xbox One folks being able to buy the $79.99 Standard Edition and stream it on Xbox Cloud Gaming at 1am ET saves them buying a whole new console. I’m sticking with Standard over the $99.99 Ultimate until we actually know what the reportedly 2027 online mode includes.
bro 30 FPS isn’t gonna harsh the vibe when you’re cruising the Leonida Keys on a jet ski or ripping a fan boat through the Grassrivers people always sleep on boats in GTA, just watch how chill the scuba diving and fishing are gonna be. already got the 212 GB pre-loaded and can’t wait to blast Flower in a Hurricane on Thursday.
