Hi everyone. We were joking about Grand Theft Auto VI being in development. The trailers were completely made with AI, but now that we see everyone actually wants the game, we've decided to start developing it. Expect a release sometime around 2040. For now, enjoy GTA5.

The image is a fake/edited Twitter/X tweet designed to mimic an official announcement from Rockstar Games.

Such fake announcements are common in gaming communities as memes to调侃 delays in game releases.

This is a gaming meme referencing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 release. The top text poses the common fan question: 'Why won't Rockstar release GTA 6 on PC day one?'. Below this, a line of text reads 'GTA 6 on PC day one:' followed by the official promotional art for GTA 6 showing the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, pointing guns directly towards the viewer. The joke implies that a day one PC release of GTA 6 would be so poorly optimized, ridden with bugs, or otherwise broken that it would feel like the game is attacking its players, which is the reason Rockstar traditionally delays PC ports of their major titles to fix issues first.

A fabricated tweet screenshot purporting to be from Rockstar Games, featuring the company's yellow logo with a black 'R' and star, and the handle '@RockstarGames' at the top left. The tweet text, displayed in white font on a black background, expresses exaggerated frustration: it claims the game was delayed to avoid a 'Cyberpunk 77 situation' (referencing the 2020 game's troubled launch), sarcastically threatens a new release date of November 19, 2027, and dismisses critics with 'Touch grass you fucking nerds.' The content mocks both developer-player tensions over delays and fan entitlement.
