Developer Rockstar Games confirmed that pre-orders for the game will soon go live and dropped new screenshots, but fans have noticed a few issues with what they’ve seen
Fresh Grand Theft Auto 6 teasers have renewed anticipation for the biggest game of the year.
In an announcement this week, Rockstar said that pre-orders for GTA 6 will finally go live in a matter of days. Excited gamers will be able to pre-order GTA 6 next week, beginning on Thursday, June 25.
GTA 6 is due for release later this year after 18 months of delays. Having been planned to originally land in May 2025, it’ll now come out on November 19.
New screenshots and the game’s official cover art have been unveiled as part of the pre-order news. However, while many are excited for a fresh look at the game, eagle-eyed fans have spotted the same three problems with new teasers, reports the Express.
One of which is that a screenshot showing off Vice City “looks exactly like GTA V“, the predecessor released 13 years prior to GTA 6’s new launch date. After a Reddit user shared the image from the game’s official site, responses appeared to indicate widespread agreement.
One Redditor commented: “Could have said it’s GTA 5 and I wouldn’t have questioned it.” Another remarked: “Kinda GTA5 with the same lightings.”
A third Reddit user noted: “Lol looks exactly like V with the ferris wheel and layout.” Another issue spotted by fans relates to that very same ferris wheel.
Members of the r/Gaming subreddit noticed that its reflection was missing from the water below in Vice City. After one user pointed it out, another joking replied: “Delay it again.”
Another concern united Reddit users, as many demanded more content. One user fumed: “Gameplay. Gameplay. Where’s the damn gameplay.”
Another chimed in: “I don’t think anyone was debating whether the game would look nice or not. Rockstar needs a gameplay trailer or something like that.”
One frustrated fan urged Rockstar to “give us a reason to open our wallets”, adding: “Pre-orders are in a week and I’m expected to drop money on a game that has nothing to show other than some flashy pre-rendered cutscenes that may or may not be in engine.
“What is going on. The name alone will carry it but I am still on the fence.”
