Looking at past trends, the user pointed out that Take-Two's earnings calls in 2013 and 2018 included major release date announcements. However, in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 faced a delay, which was confirmed just before an earnings call. Based on this pattern, Arvosss predicts that if Rockstar does not announce a date by February 6, a delay could be likely.

Mixed Reactions from the Community

This theory has sparked discussion among fans. Some believe it aligns with Rockstar's history, while others remain sceptical. One user commented that Take-Two's earnings call will likely reiterate a general “Fall 2025” timeframe rather than confirm a specific date.

Analysts noted that while some publishers have introduced $100 or higher pricing tiers, these often include early access or special editions. MIDiA analyst Rhys Elliott explained that many AAA titles charge premium prices in the first few days before launch by offering additional perks. However, charging $100 for a standard edition without any extras would be considered excessive, even for a highly anticipated release like GTA 6.
