The main reason why Rockstar doesn't release their games Day 1 on PC is due to lack of resources. As John Ricchio, GTA 5's producer puts it "if you are working on that that means you aren't working on something else." During the development of RDR1 they actually had... show more

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 GTA 5 producer John Ricchio has said GTA 6 will skip PC at launch due to 'development priorities.' "PC release is not a switch that you just flip, it requires separate development, testing and optimization entirely." "You can't work on something else while working on that, hence consoles are prioritized."

When John Ricchio (Producer on GTA 5 & RDR1) would interview devs to work at Rockstar he would warn people that " Rockstar is run by crazy people but you get to work on the best games in the world, that is the exchange." At least devs knew what they were getting into lol.

You can't compare Cyberpunk 2077 launch to GTA 6 and here's exactly why Cyberpunk 2077 was the CDPR's first installment to feature a futuristic city with tons of NPCs and fast moving cars, something which was never done before on Witcher games. The gameplay video from Cyberpunk 2077 shown off in 2019 had a clear text showing "work in progress - does not represent the final look of the game" After the launch disaster of Cyberpunk 2077, Marcin Iwiński also explained that the reason the game had so many bugs is that the game was designed for PC first in mind, then scaled down to consoles that still had a hard drive (PS4 and Xbox One) an extremely difficult task on its own, combined with the fact that the game development progress took a major hit during the pandemic. Rockstar Games on the other hand has a much different engine and experience working on large scale open world game filled with tons of NPCs and fast moving cars, including the fact that they're developing this game for current gen consoles first, then scaling it up for a PC release not vice versa. Are we guys suddenly forgetting the fact that Rockstar Games managed to get GTA V running on a PS3 console which had 256mb of VRAM and 256mb of RAM at that time? The reason Rockstar Games has shown zero gameplay of GTA 6 is because historically they save the gameplay showcase before the game launches, GTA 6 Trailer 2 came out in 2025 and all footage for that Trailer was captured on a base PS5 with a mix of gameplay and cutscenes. They'll obviously show off more gameplay on August 27th, but comparing Cyberpunk 2077 to GTA 6 isn't exactly fair for both companies. On one hand, it was CDPR's first time making that kind of genre of a game and on the other hand, it isn't Rockstar Games first time making a Grand Theft Auto game.

The reason why Rockstar games are so good is because Rockstar iterates over and over with no end in sight. The downside of this is that devs end up working late for what feels like forever because there is no cut off point. I am guessing everybody working on GTA 6 will be iterating on the game right up until the day it drops.

What Rockstar Games did with GTA V in terms of optimization on a PS3 console is mindblowing! This level of traffic here is so dense that I struggle to make sense on how exactly they've made this possible on a console that has only 512MB total memory system, hell compare that to Windows 11 which averages to 5GB of RAM usage during idle and you can see how little resources Rockstar Games had working with here. If you remember, when Cyberpunk 2077 launched on PS4, Night City was practically a Ghost Town when you drove a car due to how much it would affect the framerate. Even most open-world games today don't add heavy traffic to save on resources, but GTA V is out here squeezing every last drop of my PS3 console just to add this number of vehicles for seemingly no reason all I can say is that Rockstar really knows how to push the limits of what a console can achieve and I can't wait to see what they're going to do with Grand Theft Auto 6.

John Ricchio (an ex-Rockstar producer who worked on RDR1, Max Payne 3 and GTA 5) has spoken about his experience working with Sam and Dan Houser on Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly’s podcast. He offers some VERY interesting insight into the both of them. The biggest takeaway for me is that seems as if Sam Houser really, REALLY cares about the quality of their games. This shouldn’t really be a surprise, but it’s awesome to hear just how passionate he truly is about them. He lists Rockstar’s Table Tennis as an example of this. Apparently that game was “his baby” and is largely why it turned out so good. THIS is why GTA 6 has taken so long. It’s been said over and over again, but Rockstar really does seek perfection, and it’s really cool to hear that Sam Houser’s passion for gaming is a big part of why that’s the case.

Crossplay on GTA Online between PS4 and PC has officially been achieved, thanks to LosSantosOnline. Using a custom LSO private server on a jailbroken PS4 anda dev copy of GTA 5, they found a loophole that allowed them to join the same lobby as PC players. This proves Rockstar can implement crossplay but has chosen not to.

It looks like GTA 6 will not have realistic gore mechanics that are the same as Red Dead Redemption 2 RDR1 was released before GTA 5 and it had a very advanced level of gore at that time GTA 5 had little to no gore at all Red Dead Redemption 2 had the most realistic gore of all Rockstar Games Will GTA 6 have realistic gore like RDR Games or will it scrap it?

"If your relative is a victim of manslaughter and their killer is being released, you don't have police chiefs speaking for you." Fifty police chiefs have called on the PM to block the early release of PC Andrew Harper's killers. Are they creating a "hierarchy of victimhood"?

This is why you bring in the pros. 7000 pound tree limb that is hanging over the roof of a house. This is a disaster waiting to happen if not removed. As they are working on the tree you are seeing it lean more towards the house. The pros are on site to address.👀

Falcom President Toshihiro Kondo says working on the Trails in the Sky remakes reminded the team that games don't need to be big and complicated to be fun. Working on the remakes also reminded the team that by finishing the story early, they can focus on improving the overall game quality. This is something they want to implement in other games currently in development.

Peter Thiel on how to build the next billion-dollar startup: "Every moment in the history of business happens only once. The next Mark Zuckerberg won't be starting a social networking site. The next Bill Gates won't start an operating system. The next Elon Musk won't start a Tesla electric car company." Peter's entire thesis rejects the idea of formulas in business. As he puts it: "Science starts with things that are experimentally repeatable, but great businesses are zero to one; they're always one-of-a-kind. There is always this anti-formulaic quality." So what's the one theme he keeps coming back to? "This need for differentiation. What are you doing that nobody else is doing? What ideas do you have that nobody else has? What great business are you working on that no one else is working on?" He continues: "If you're a founder or an entrepreneur, you should always aim to build a monopoly where you're the only person in the world doing what you're doing. There really are only two kinds of businesses in this world: businesses that are in crazy competition and one-of-a-kind businesses that are monopolies." On why you shouldn't just iterate your way to success: "The core thing is to have a great product, and then you can always improve and iterate on that. If you're just trying to optimize and you don't have a great product, that rarely works." His advice? Think 5 to 10 years ahead: "Why will this be a really valuable business in 5 to 10 years? How's the competitive landscape going to develop? These are hard questions to answer, but the great entrepreneurs I know always have some perspective on it. When I was playing chess, one of the early lessons I learned was, a bad plan is still always better than no plan at all." On what makes work meaningful: "It's great to be working on problems where if you weren't working on them, nobody else would do them. If we weren't doing this, this problem would absolutely not be tackled. That's what's meaningful. Whereas when you're competing, you're already, by definition, number two at least in a category." Build something only you can build.

Digital Foundry on #Xbox Project Helix: “It is the end of a fully focused console environment for Xbox” "From a developer perspective, Xbox is a PC" "Probably just going to be running those PC games" "Perhaps one that receives a limited level of specific optimisations but basically runs the exact same code as the PC build. "Project Helix will present as a console, but it will be running Windows - think a more tightly defined version of the ROG Xbox Ally X front-end." "They're developing for Windows at this point." "Not have people make bespoke Xbox versions anymore" "Will [Series X] get a disgraced ending?" "We may actually see Series X get like a thown to the dustbin of history kind of feeling at the end of it." "Series S has meant a lot of development effort for a lot of studios, so if it gets dropped I wouldn't be so sad, but I'm just very curious what it means for the future development of Xbox games during the cross-gen period" "The feedback we get all the time is memory management [on Series S] has been very very challenging"
