Grand Theft Auto 6 Delay Sparks Chaos in the Gaming World

What’s Inside:

• GTA 6 release date pushed to May 2026

• Gamers and developers react to the massive delay

• How one trailer broke the internet and office productivity

• Why other game studios are shifting their release timelines too

Episode Description:
It’s official—Grand Theft Auto 6 isn’t coming out anytime soon. After building major hype with a cinematic trailer, Rockstar Games has pushed the release date back to May 2026, sending shockwaves through the gaming community. The team dives into the chaos this delay is causing, from disappointed fans (like Jubal, who watched the trailer four times thinking it was coming this month) to rival game developers now scrambling to adjust their own launch plans.

This isn’t just another game—it’s one of the most anticipated releases in video game history. The crew chats about why GTA6 is such a big deal, how long it’s been since the last version, and what makes this franchise so iconic. Plus, there’s confusion, snacks, and a whole lot of speculation about whether anyone will get any work done once the game finally drops.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and you get everything you need
to know for the day with Nina's what's trending? Are
you gonna share with the class? What are we eating
over there?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's a date.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
There was ten seconds before we went on air, and
I shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Chewye and I can't radio. What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's all right, I'll just I'll talk.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Grand Theft Auto six is causing all kinds of chaos.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
It looks dope in the rest of the gaming world.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, you're not the only person that thinks that this
is the biggest gaming release in history.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
A love why I watched the trailer four times yesterday
because of this, the trailer of a video game. Yeah,
I had no trailers of video games came back.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's like three minutes long. It's dope.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, why is it so big?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Like, what's the Well, it's supposed to be coming out
anytime now, six, but they.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Changed it to May of twenty twenty six to May
of twenty twenty six, which is the reason why chaos
is being caused because they backed the release out so
now people like jubile when did they freaking out?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
When did they change it?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
He did not. It just happened looking.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
At it yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, Make twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Dang it.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well, not only is it screwing up the people that
have been anticipating it and want to be the trailer.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Maybe they met twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's just in Make twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's misleading.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah that is. Maybe you're someone who did not read
the fine print. Well, definitely not.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
The reason why it's going all nuts is because all
these other games who had plans of releasing themselves want
to wait and either push their games back because people
time here though, people time out their releases. I think
sometimes in music they do this too, to coincide with
other releases.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
For their benefit. It's a long time though. It is
a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
So now I mean think about like Barbenheimer, right yep,
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
So now they're like, oh shoot, now we got to
push our games back, and then the whole gaming world
is like a no new game.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Has it just been a long time since the game
Theft Auto came out or something?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh okay, it's been it's been years. Six I will
say were kind of fun. My brother had one of
those steering wheels for the Xbox. That's how I learned
how to drive. I was really bad on it, but
it was a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
This makes complete and total sense. It does, Guys, I've
seen you.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm efficient.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
That is not the word I would use.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I'm glad, it's I'm glad they pushed it back to
make twenty May of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Why because I still have like a year to get work.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Done and things like that.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
After that, I'll be doing anything but playing that. Do
you have a gaming console to play it on?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
You do.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I love GTA.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah. I didn't know that you did it because I
just don't know where. Whyn't we ever play games at
your house?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm grateful to We should.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Probably the only thing I played is it's the only
hooked up when I want to play, you should.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I should probably do a vacation around the release of that,
because Jewbill did spend twelve minutes watching a three minute
trailer yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, and I just really want to make sure we
do have a show once that comes out. Yeah, I
was excited. I kept watching the trailer. I was like, Yeah,
that's coming out at the end of the month. What
was that exciting? Yes, I didn't know this was okay,
cool cool is honestly very Yeah, such a good game, everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
The anticipation will continue because you gotta wait till next year.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm lucky. I haven't played it since number one, so
I could just play five and be like whoa, yeah, go.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
To Jewels and just.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
It was like watching your favorite show, like the new season.
Just watch it over and over or like start over
isn't exactly you have to how do games work?

Speaker 5 (03:24):
I'm actually very confused, but like it's not well no,
but like you have to beat levels, and like what
if you beat like a like a different way than
the game says you have to, Like that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
No, yeah, that's not how it works. The game tells
you how to beat the level, and then you beat.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
The level, and it's kind of like a movie. It
just goes there's other ways.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
The only time I ever played GTA was I put
it in whatever mode is not a game. You just
drive around and yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You can just do some crazy stuff, or you can
or you can go on missions.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
And then like the missions will lead you to the
end of the game, and would you beat the game?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's Wherebil goes on missions. Yeah, yeah, you can beat,
you can go through all the missions, and then you
won the game. Okay, I didn't mix after that though,
the world is open and you can just still go
around and do stuff, and okay, I think I get it.
I think it's dope. I don't, But that's what's trending.
