It is time, as always, for Rockstar news Nate The Hate, who is a popular insider, has reported that review copies of GTA 6 are expected to go out before the end of the month This is earlier than usual, and could be because the game is so massive that Rockstar wants to give reviewers as much time as possible to experience it before publishing their reviews Either that, or it's like the game has already leaked 75 different times that the security concerns are probably less relevant now Who would they be sending review copies to? I assume like the normal big companies, like your IGNs? Would they send it to like review channels like Skill Up? [Reading chat] Me? Like I'm not a game reviewer Like, I'm not sure why they would send it specifically to GTA content creators Obviously it'd be hugely advantageous for my content if I got it first I could map out all the speedrun routes, but then again, I would want to share my first experience with chat Ideally, it'd be annoying, like, you know, to be off stream for a month, playing the game and not being able to share that with people [Reading chat] I think they would also want YouTubers to stream at all the same time though Would pull huge numbers Yeah, so that's why I'm asking who they would send it to It’d have to be specifically like non GTA content creators who also review all new games that come out You know? GTA 6 marketing has now entered full swing in Miami, with advertisements appearing all across the city A 9-Nine nightclub banner and the Vice City blimp is being flown above Miami Beach You can't fool me! This is just a picture of GTA 6 What is this bamboozling? I got the money shot Amazing! And Vice City beach chairs and umbrellas have started to appear on the sand Oh my God! Beach chairs! What amazing marketing! I often say that I would never buy a game unless there is beach chairs associated with that game So good thing I can now buy GTA 6 There are also new bus ad-liveries We got the GTA 6 bus before GTA six Multiple murals! Vice What's it made of though? Like these are all different images and stuff? Maybe it's not completed yet because some parts aren't colored I don't know! Interesting though And these murals are being painted in Wynwood? Oh, is this in the art exhibition thing? I think it might be, like I've been in here before, when I was in Miami Like, is that Lucia? Who are these chicks meant to be Interesting, though Looks very cool And GTA 6 is being advertised in Times Square More appearing every day It's coming out November 19th guys if you didn’t know Rockstar, just like we will GTA 6 the world! A fair strategy The GTA 6 marketing push in Miami keeps growing with real life versions of vehicles from the game now cruising the city streets, complete with Leonida license plates I mean, that's pretty crazy As I say, there were already really sick cars in Miami, and especially on certain streets and stuff where they have, like they have events where they shot people's cars Wait was that like an actual police car? Like, I wonder if they gave cool police cars to the police Like here, Vice Beach police That's not an actual police car that the Americans have, is it? [Reading chat] No? Okay I mean its America so you never know but... Wynwood Art District? See, I can't tell if this is just a car that an American police would have or not Oh, that's a car we've seen in some of the marketing material Very Vice city colors These cars look sick Yeah I guess the first one is an actual cop and this one is not These are the same cars I mean, it's good marketing rep, people will take footage of it and they're like, “oh, saw these f*cking sick cars and stuff man” [Reading chat] It's been all over your feed? Yeah, exactly smart move Because a lot of the marketing they're doing is in the specific area of Miami, which means their marketing isn't global But because of the nature of social media, anything done, even in a localized area, becomes global right? Taking advantage of the more modern media ecosystem that didn't exist back when GTA 5 was a thing Oh well, it did exist to a degree, more in its infancy when GTA 5 released A schedule has surfaced for the Vice City blimp that has been circling Miami, it will visit Hard Rock station, then head to Homestead-Miami Speedway for Race Car Championship weekend, and finally make its way to the Kaseya Center Looks very cool! I gotta say though Where's the observatory? Where's Davey? Dude needs a lift, to Miami Jason Schreier, the journalist who reported on the development of GTA 6 recently has said in a new Bloomberg newsletter that Rob Nelson, Rockstar's head of development, told him there are hundreds of interiors to explore in Leonida, which is not surprising I mean, this is something that's been said eons ago, like the constant speculation of- or the rumors that, there is going to be a lot more interiors in GTA 6 that you can explore than in GTA 5 And we always were like, “is that going to be that good?” As long as the interiors are actually interesting and useful? That's what matters The example I always give is Banjo-Kazooie The original Banjo-Kazooie on N64 was not a huge game in terms of like the actual areas, if you combine them all together, the physical space But every single inch of that game had some value, had some meaning, was important, and so it felt like the biggest thing ever When you get to like Banjo Kazooie 3 or whatever it was called, the game is huge and complete garbage, because it had a lot more space Just having more of something doesn't necessarily make things better Just having more players to explore doesn't necessarily make things better Has to be like worth it to explore those places And given the way that they've described the game, where just random events can happen or you can just spur of the moment decide to rob a place, that's probably what a lot of the interiors are going to be, right? Places that you can just rob if you want to for funsies Like, imagine there's just like an office building that you can go inside of and point your gun and be like, “give me all your wallets”, you know, surely? [Reading chat] “Give us all your ram!” “Rip it out of your PCs!” In GTA 6’s launch trailer, Jason can be seen wearing a military shirt that mentions the North Fort Law military base from GTA 1 It is actually the first military base ever in the GTA series That’s very interesting, GTA Wiki you get a like there Because I sure as hell would not know that Can't say I know that much about GTA 1 I expect most people don't know much about it either Surely that's just going to be like a reference or something rather than, you know, you needing to know the lore of GTA 1 to really understand Jason's backstory There is new official artwork of Justice The duo composing the GTA 6 soundtrack, which includes the song we heard in the launch trailer Of course, they made the song Flower In A Hurricane It sounded awesome, and this is a baller looking image Rockstar provided this to IGN Man, imagine having Rockstar themselves make an image like this of you It'd be so funny if they were like, aware enough of Rockstar to be like, “look, as a part of this contract a deal, us being involved in the game” “You got to make us image like this, okay? Want to put it on my wall!” Yeah you would definitely frame that and put it in your house somewhere GTA 6 will officially be eligible to compete at the Game Awards this year, as the cutoff date has been confirmed to be November 20th Seriously? What is the cutoff date for eligibility? Games must be made commercially available to customers on or before Friday, November 20th, 2026 at 9 PM Now, the question is, was this cut off designed to allow for GTA 6 to pass, or was Rockstar aware of this cutoff period? And they were like, “look, you know, we wanted it to come out in November” We may as well get it just before the cutoff [Reading chat] Could be either, right? Last year it was November 21st This is nothing new Then maybe it was Rockstar being aware of it 2025 the cutoff was 21st and 2024 the cutoff was 22nd Okay, so maybe Rockstar chose the 19th so they could make this cutoff, but it also could just be coincidence With that being said, if your goal is to win one of these awards, I guess you'd want to just barely make the cut to be involved because it would be the most fresh in people's minds The alternative to this is it wouldn't make the cut off, and it would be like a day after, and so then they'd have to wait an entire year for it to eventually get some recognition Which would not be good for marketing and would hurt its chances of winning Although it is GTA 6 so it’ll probably still win Rockstar clearly wants to win all those awards, so people are like, “GTA 6 best game ever” “All the awards! Yay!” [Reading chat] They gave up on awards after Red Dead Redemption 2 lost? At the time, that was really funny I'm sorry God of War winning... At the time I wasn't super enthused about Red Dead Redemption 2 and I was just like, “yeah, you go God of War!” I mean, God of War was an insanely good game Like it was impressively good But like, in hindsight, in terms of experience, like the actual experience that sticks with you Red Dead Redemption 2 clearly does so more than God of War The gameplay of God of War though, was really cool and kind of took the the game of God of War in a very interesting new direction, right? Thats stuck around for now multiple games, like I can't think of another game where I'm like yeah okay, maybe it is better than Red Dead Redemption 2, but I don’t know I still- I still kind of wish Red Dead Redemption 2 won, at this point GTA 6 has now officially been rated worldwide across all major markets, receiving an M mature 17+ plus from the ESRB in the United States, PEGI 18 in Europe and the United Kingdom USK 18 in Germany, 18+ in Japan R18+ in Australia, 19+ in South Korea, 18 in Brazil, and 21+ in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates I mean, GTA 5 was actually banned in Saudi Arabia And maybe in other Middle Eastern countries? Until actually like within the last year or something Maybe they did that preemptively before GTA 6 right? [Reading chat] 19 in South Korea is 18 anyway? Yeah, because I've heard that right They- they track age differently or something? A different calendar or something? They start at one Yeah! When you're born you're one rather than zero How did they manage to get mature 17+ in the United States? Surely they just have pull there or something because all the other countries like, are, you know, 18+ But America's like “ah 17” Not that one year is likely, that, big of a difference I'm not sure but [Chat TTS] The only thing above mature is adults only, which is for explicit depictions of sex, extreme violence, and real gambling Games with this rating are also not allowed to be streamed on Twitch That's not true! Huh maybe it is true I thought that they had to be explicitly banned Oh, that's so weird So it’s just mature 17+ and then adults only So the difference of one year is that significant? Can't be sold in physical stores, can't be livestreamed? What the hell? What a crazy rating system It's like country wide acceptance with one year of difference I had no idea, and I thought Australia’s rating system was crazy Yeah, so I guess- I guess given how successful GTA 6 is going to be and how important it's going to be for like the American economy in general and certainly Miami, their economy, there would have been some back and forth on stuff to get it down to a mature 17+ then I suppose Either that or just direct bribes Like “hey man, you uhh... ever wanted to be an NPC in a Grand Theft Auto game?” “Like, we can make that happen You can be in the Strip Club” Even more important GTA 6 news I'm doing another GTA 6 giveaway DarkViperAU’s 6767 USD GTA 6 giveaway That is to say 6,767 USD The two most important events in the history of mankind are happening soon Those being the release of GTA 6, and my getting married to the love of my life Obviously one of those is far more important than the other and we both know which that is, right? But both are still a big deal as thanks to the universe for my good fortune, I'm giving six lucky winners some money Five will get $1,128, and one will get $1,127, for a total giveaway of $6,767 I had to debate what I would do because you can't evenly break this by six So either everyone was going to get like some cents or... I could just give one person $1 less and that's what I ended up doing The idea is that every winner should have enough to buy themselves the PlayStation 5 Pro and a copy of GTA 6 The giveaway is actually ending pretty- basically when GTA 6 is releasing So like the person should have enough time to buy one if there's one in stock or whatever, you know? Continuing, finally, of course, if you win, you can spend the money on whatever you want The console and game are just a suggestion Best of luck! Note! This giveaway is not affiliated with Rockstar, Sony, Take-Two, Microsoft, Discord, Nintendo, Valve, Epic Games, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, Sega, Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, CD Projekt Red, Konami, Riot Games, Supercell, Mojang, Roblox, Atari, or anyone else in the gaming industry or any hacker group Just to be clear, and of course, here's me hanging out with Jason, you know, as you do [Reading chat] So it's affiliated with Kojima? Of course! Obviously, me and him, you know we go way back
