So, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 6 is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:delayed again. Now the game isn’t set to release until May 26, 2026. If you took math in college, you probably know that’s over a year from now. If yoꦬu didn’t take math in college, you probably also know that’s over a year from now because it’s not too complicated, is it?
Either way, we are not getting that game for a while. If💙 you’re waiting outside GameStop for that release, I’ve got bad news for you: That GameStop closed four years ago and you’re not waiting for anything but time to pass until God takes you.

That all said, it’s wild to now think there will be about thirteen years between 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto 6. I know we all✤ know this, but it kind of helps to put it in perspective by looking at everything that’s changed or happened over the last dozen years. Because the world has significantly changed since then. When we got GTA 5, we thought we were at the peak of gaming and internet culture. As we get GTA 6, we’re sliding down that peak and crashing into Layoff City. So let’s take a look back on what the years brought us.
Two and a Half Generations of Consoles
Grand Theft Auto 5 launched on the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. I know you know that, but I want you to think about that for a second. Those now technically count as retro consoles. We’ve had more new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:BloodRayne games in the last 13 years than we have GTA games. And that’s because we’ve had one new BloodRayne game. Think about how ไexciting the PlayStation 3 and Xboxꦫ 360 were.
And then think about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One (you can spend less time on the Xbox One). And now think about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X. And then think about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 Pro. And then add in the Switch and Switch 2 because Nintendo went off the game-generation rails long ago.
The Entire World Shut Down for Covid
The less said, the better, obviously. Notably, we also had an ebola threat in the intervening years that freaked everyone out. But then we got the biܫg one that shut things down. That happened fi♐ve years ago. Our lives got shuttered and shattered. It was a tragic time that changed the world, and not necessarily for the better.
It’ll be curious to see if GTA 6 addresses what happened in any way, as the series is squarely focused on lampooning the culture of the moment and we’re still feeling the aftershocks. Grand Theft Auto 5💜 may remain one of the most fun, playable games with one of the most fun, interesting stories, a lot has changed.
Five Brutal Breakups
I was just in the middle of a new relationship in September of 2013. I even remember my ex and I played the first few hours of the game together. What a great time that was. Anyway, we broke up after I moved for a job. And then I dated someone else seriously, but she wasn’t as serious so we broke up too. After that I dated someone for a couple years. We really broke up, which is frustrating because it’s always easier when you have something to blame othe🐻r than your own flaws.
And then I got into a relationship with a friend and I had a mental health breakdown and we super broke up. Plus, early during the pandemic I fell in love with someone and we had one of those Zoom romances that went nowhere, so maybe not ‘brutal’ so much as ‘sad’. Just the ty🎃pe of sadness that makes you sit and think about how others have their lives figured out 💯and you’ll always be on the cusp of oblivion. Michael De Santa knows what I’m talking about!
Twenty Eight Marvel Movies
Back in 2013, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Cinematic Universe was just getting off the ground. We all ooh-ed and aah-ed at the connections they’d make and post-credits scenes. Sure, we’d had 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Avengers, but we thought that was the peak of the franchise. That was only six movies into the whole deal! The last movie to be released before GTA 5 was Iron Man 3, which is also one of the best MCU movies regardless of what any list ever says. Still, it’s weird to think that in the time between GTA 5 and GTA 6, the amount of Marvel films have quadrupled. Tꦓhe two aren’t connected, but interesting!
Three American Presidents, Four Times
We can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:leave politics out of it, but Grand Theft Auto is a series about America and the “American Dream.” And America’s culture is often defined and historically marked by the successes and failures of the president. If you include the last three years of the president in office when GTA 5 came out, there have been three American presidents, one of them being elected twice. Have they all been good presidents? Uh… Sure. Whatever keeps the most intense people from sending me more death threats like they did when I made fun of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:being mad at Assassin’s Creed.
My Parents Getting Older and More Frail
Speaking of death threats, my parents seemed like life had just started when they were in their mid 50s. But now? Nowꦦ, man. Hospital trip after hospital trip. Long conversations at the dinner table with just one light on overhead, the gravity of the subject strangling us,💃 keeping us all from saying what needs to be said.
When I visit my parents, I wonder if it’ll be the last time I seeꦗ one. When I call them, I savor their voices. I didn’t used to always be like this. I don’t even have a great relationship with them. But as time robs them of their health and raises a tide of fear and worry, I remember just how different༺ they were when Grand Theft Auto 5 first hit shelves everywhere.
Fortnite Has Changed Gaming Forever
Fortnite came out four years after GTA 5. Four years! And yet it seem𒊎s like we’ve had it forever. Fortnite is now so big that even writing a sentence abo💖ut how big it is feels quaint. What am I going to say to you that you don’t already know? Concerts? You knew that about Fortnite.
Every fictional IP and half of living celebrities have some sort of literal skin in the game. There’s a 50-50 chance when GTA 6 comes out, games media will compare its player count to those of Fortnite - again, a game that will be🅷 nine years old by the time GTA 6 comes out.
Video Games Took Over Pop Culture
Along with Fortnite, the last decade and a half has seen a massive rise in video game culture. Not just the community itself, but things like television adaptations, movie adaptations, theme parks, and the transformation of The Game Awards into a big cultural event. Pop mu♏sic has chiptune beats and references to games. Sports broadcasts use 💎camera techniques first popularized in video games. Famous actors are proud to appear in games rather than doing it under the cover of night like they’re having an affair. Gaming has arrived.
I’ve Gone From Being The Target Demographic To Forgotten Trash
Well, well, well. Looks like the cold hand of time has moved me from being in my late 20s to my early 40s. How about that! When GTA 5 came out, I saw the characters of Michael an♋d Trevor and thought ‘what an interesting story about two older men furt꧂her along in their lives than me’. But now, when I play GTA 5, I think ‘what an interesting story about two younger men further along in their lives than me’. I shouldn’t think Trevor has had a more fulfilling life than me, but I also don’t want to deny the truth.
The Video Game Industry Died Anyway Despite Taking Over Pop Culture
Yeah, I’m not sure how that happened but it turns out “taking over pop culture” somehow still 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:does not mean they can pay anyone. “Will we have to play the next Grand Theft Auto on a PlayStation 6?” Honey, we’ll be lucky i⛄f there even is a PlayStation 6 and it doesn’t cost $3,000.
