As revealed in the official press release, GTA 6 is currently only slated to arrive on the PS5 and Xbox Series X and won't be coming to PS4 or Xbox One when it launches in 2꧅026 - making it a current-gen exclusive.
These days, it's common for a developer to know exactly what D🌟LC it's got in the works before a game is even out – it does take years to make, after all. In total, there are currently six planned DLC packs that you can either buy now as part of the game's special editions, or you can get them individually once the game is out.
The Del🐟uxe Edition – which will set you back $100 – has four of these six packs in what's called the Bounty Pack Bundle. They'll have new areas to explore, ne💦w missions to tackle, and more loot to get your hands on.
The Super Deluxe ✅Edition costs a not-so-super $130 and has two more 🤪DLC packs – which combined are called the Vault Hunter Pack. Each contains a new story, Vault Hunter, map regions, and more loot.
We don't yet know when any of these DLC are going to launch♈☂, and it's important to note that even when we do get a release date, it could change – video game development is volatile.
There's no need to panic pre-order the Super Deluxe Edition just yet. All the bundles and individual DLC will be available for purchase once the game launches o𒅌n September 12, 2025, but we don't know what the separate prices will be. If you want to, though, ཧyou can pre-order Borderlands 4 on your preferred platform, .

]]>Although Take-Two's latest update to its terms of service and privacy policy was released in February, concerns were raised among fans only recently, when they were greeted with the agreements upon loading their Borderlands games. These have ranged from concerns about the collection of data, such as accounts and telephone numbers, to more extreme allegations that the gamꩲes could somehow function like "spyware" if users agree to the updated terms.
All this has led to a widespread review bombing of the games on Steam. Right now, Borderlands 2 is being offered for free for a limited time, but the recent reviews have been flooded with complaints about the terms of service. Now, though, two prominent Borderlands modders are trying to reassure the fanbase that there's "nothing new" about the agre🐷ement in the first place, and it certainly shouldn't have an impact on any gameꩲ modding.
"I'm sure with thousands of new players trying Borderlands 2 for the first time, I'm bound to be asked 'What about the TOS?!,'" Borderlands modder Epic (the same person leading the effort to revive the Borderlands Online MMO) writes on Twitter. "I've t💫old people it's🅷 nothing new many times before. But don't just take my word for it, here is trusted modder Apple's statement on it."
I'm sure with thousands of new 🃏players trying Borderlands 2 for the first time, I'm bound to be asked "What about the TOS?!"I🐽've told people it's nothing new many times before.But don't just take my word for it, here is trusted modder Apple's statement on it :D pic.twitter.com/lLAZoHwZFj
Epic shares a Discord message from Apple1417, who's created a number of mods before for the Borderlands games. "Recently there's been a lot of misinformation and fearmongering concerning the new 2K TOS," they write. "Rest assured, there is nothing different about it compared to what was there previously – the main clause everyone's freaking out about was already there.
"It will not have any effect on Borderlands modding," they continue, adding: "We'll rem꧟ind you the Gearbox forums used to have a modding section, all the way since [Borderlands 1], they've never even taken any steps against it, let alone legal action. So please, don't worry about it."
Whether this will serve to calm down anxꦍious fans is another matter, though. After all, the number of negative reviews on Borderlands 2 has only risen since being offered for free, despite the fact that the backlash started weeks ago, and even back then, some fans suggested that people were "overreacting" to the whole thing.
]]>As pointed out by a player in a recent thread, the Borderlands games are currently facing a review bomb of sorts on Steam. The deb✤acle boils down to Take-Two's recently updated user agreement, which is outlined on the holding company's . "People are review bombing the entire Borderlands series because of EULA changes that can apparently gain root-level access to your machine under the guise of 'anti-cheat' software."
The poster continues, explaining how fans are upset at the prospect of Take-Two collecting "personal info like accounts, passwords, telephone numbers, etc." One look at the Steam pages for eܫach of the three main Borderlands entries serves as proof that players are indeed upset about the new terms of service. Under the first game's recent reviews, which have dropped to "Mixed," people share their concerns about the user agreement.
from
"I don't feel comfortable with the terms of service," writes one such fan. Another simply calls the game "spyware" following the integration of Take-Two's new terms of service. The page for Borderlands 2 also shows "Mixed" reviews, with players highlighting their worries over the user agreement and how they're afraid it affects their privacy online: "This collects use🐻rnames and passwords, IP locations and browser history data."
Recent Borderlands 3 reviews don't look much better, either. One fan exclaims that "recent EULA changes seem insane," while others desc🦋ribe how now "mods are a bannable offense" and any "display of cheats/exploits is bannable" despite the game being largely single-player/co-op rather than an online experience where anti-cheat measures make sense. Elsewhere, people cite the legal implications of Take-Two's new user agreement.
Not everyone is convinced the changes spell the end of Borderlands as fans know and love it, however. As seen 🐻on the 𒆙Reddit post covering the review bombing, some think players are "overreacting" currently: "People are overreacting for sure. The EULA is hardly any different than the one before it all the way back in 2018." Just as the games' reviews are now "Mixed" on Steam, then, so are the community's opinions on the terms of service.
]]>As part of its , publisher Take-Two confirmed that GTA 5 has sold-in 215 million units, up from 210 in the last quarte﷽rly report.ꩵ That'll include some physical stock being held by retailers that hasn't yet been sold through to consumers, but that's a pretty negligible caveat, especially considering that Take-Two reported another 5 million copies of GTA 5 sold every single quarter this year.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is also selling by the wagonload, with 4 million copies sold in tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe past three months. Citing 𝓡venerable industry analyst group Circana, Take-Two says RDR2 is the "best-selling title of the past 7 years in the US based on dollar sales."
That sales record might actually rankle long-time fans of the game, since Red Dead Online💜 has effectively been abandoned by Rockst🌞ar despite all this success, and its lack of updates continues to🎐 be a point of contention in the community.
There's no such shortage of content for GTA Online, however. During yesterday's investor Q&A, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick cal𝕴led GTA 5 the "standard-bearer for our industry," and honestly, it's tough to argue against that point. No wonder the everyone exp🀅ects GTA 6's sales success to🔯 be downright astronomical.
Here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like GTA you need to play while waiting for GTA 6.
]]>During last month's flurry of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 news, the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Remake, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Street Fighter 6, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring, and even a brand new exclusive from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware called 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Duskbloods were all confirmed as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 games. Among the third-party announcements was a massive block from 2K Games (which is owned by Take-Two, as is Rockstar Games), confirming that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Civilization 7, and future instal෴lments of the NBA 2K and WWE 2K serie🍃s are coming to the console.
Zelnick speaks about the announcements during▨ the earnings call, and talks about being a third-party publisher for Nintendo. "Historically, being 🌼a third-party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging. I think Nintendo has been very forthcoming in addressing that" Zelnick says.
However, the blame can't entirely be put in Ninteꦉndo's lap; all you need to do is look at on Switch to see that. But Zelnick seemingly acknowledged this too, saying, "we're stepping up too, because we have great optimism🌸 for the platform."
Of course, the question on everyone's minds is will GTA 6 come to Nintendo Switch 2 down th🙈e line, and while he didn't mention this directly, Zelnick did talk about the proc𝓀ess behind what games will come to Nintendo's handheld.
"In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis. We obviously want to be where the consumers are, but you know, we would not necessarily bring every title to every platform," he explains.
Nintendo Switch 2 is arguably "the most important product launch in video game history," analysts say, who reckon it will have sold 100 million in its first 5 years.
"Nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed Fall 2025 was🦩 a real window for a very long time now," according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, . "Too much work, not enough time, and what appears to be a real desire from management to avoid brutal crunch. GTA VI slipping to 2026 has seemed inevitable for months, if no꧙t longer."
Rockstar parent company Take-Two has repeatedly reasserted that GTA 6 would launch in 2025, though CEO Strauss Zelnick has acknowledged that "there's always a 🗹risk 🐈of slippage." Today, Zelnick wrote that the company will "support fully Roc🌠kstar Games taking additional time to realize their creative vision."
Assuming that the delay is, indeed, partly down to a "real desire" to avoid crunch, it's a remarkable turnaround for Rockstar's work culture. Widespread reports of brutal crunch h♔ung over the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 back 🍒in 2018, so hopefully things 💜have genuinely improved at the studio in the years since.
ꦆAs players, though... well, we've already waited 12 years for GTA 6. We can handle one more – assuming you're not holding out for💮 the eventual PC version, that is.

]]>Lawrence Sullivan, aka The 'Florida Joker', has taken to TikTok once again to 'negotiate' with GTA 6 developer Rockstar and parent company Take-Two after insisting that the company stole his likeness for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer that released in December. "GTA… we gotta talk," Sullivan says again in the most recent video. "I'm really not trying to sue y'all so I'm going to give y'all an extra month" - previously, Sullivan demanded $1 - 2 million for use of his likeness.
Update 6: Florida Joker is now asking Rockstar for a deal to voice his character in GTA 6: “I’m really not trying to sue y’all,🌜 but if I got to,🔯 I will.” //t.co/Hse0ABLDaB pic.twitter.com/bAvDLMaUhD
"Hit me up,🅰 let me voice the character, give me more storyline in the game and give me a few mill [...] let's make history happen," Sullivan said in the TikTok. Similar to last time, Sullivan credits his content about GTA 6 for bringing more attention to the upcoming game: "Y'all see what I did for the game. We made news, we made🧜 the blogs, everybody's covering me." Sullivan then challenged Rockstar to find anyone in the state of Florida who could instead be considered the 'Florida Joker.'
Sullivan clearly isn't letting go of this comparison any time soon. Previously, the TikToker dyed his hair purple to demonstrate how alike he is to the character and has even gone as far as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:threatening to free the GTA 6 hacker as they up their compensation from꧟ a few million dollars to 🌼$10 million. Sullivan ends the video by reiterating that he doesn't want to get lawyers involved but "if I've got to, I will."
In other Grand Theft Auto news, a GTA 5 actor has offered advice to the GTA 6 cast: "The most important thing is that the fans are the game."
]]>Original story: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 fans can't believe the day has finally come for us to (hopefully)🌠 get some real updates from Rockstar about its upcom𝓡ing game.
On November 8, 2023, a report by Bloomberg suggested that GTA 6 could be announced "as early as this week" - with a trailer also expected 🌱next month. Although this is just speculation right now (since Rockstar or parent company Take-Two haven't said anything official yet), it's enough to get GTA fans' hopes up as well as a little nervous about the outcome.
Over on the GTA 6 ✤, fans have been sharing their excitement and theories, with many that we could be getting that rumored trailer during this year's The Game Awards on December 7 or around the time of Rockstar's 25th anniversary, which is also sometime next month.
Others have pointed out that this report has been published right before Take-Two Interactive's , which𒉰 is set to take place later today and could also reveal something about the upcoming game.

"This is a real sourcღe not a 'Leaker' so I'm getting hyped," one fan in t🥀he subreddit says.
"This is the firs𝔉t time since the leaks I've been legi💯timately excited. It's happening," another adds.
It seems like GTA 6 fans don't even care what Rockstar shows this week, they're just happy to have something to be excited about - especially after the massive 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 leak that we got just over a year ago.
Saying that, though, some fans have begun theorizing what Rockstar will show off this week if the report turns out to be ac𓆏curate. "The first teaser for RDR2 was literally just a black and red Rockstar logo. I'm assuming the teaser will just be their logo with a [Vice City] vibe," one user has . "Anticipating their logo with a palm tree sitting in the background, maybe neon lights style for the text and border," another has .
In other news, a GTA 6 sleuth thinks they've already located the official trailer.
]]>It probably won't come as too much of a surprise to hear that Red Dead Redemption fans want a remaster. There have been several hints over the years that one could be in development at Rockstar, with the latest being 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a mysterious new rating in South Korea. However, nothing has been confirmed by🐻 Rockstar or par🅠ent company Take-Two just yet.
This hasn't stopped fans from being optimistic, though, as demonstrated over on Reddit. One user shares a quote from Take-Two&ap🌳os;s Q4 and Fiscal Year 2023 (via Twitter user ), which reveals the company has plans to "launch two new iterations of previously-released titles, and three independent titles" before the next fiscal year, so between now and March 2024. Fans have immediately assumed that this could be the Red Dead Redemption remaster and a GTA 4 remaster, but I wouldn't be so sure.
Firstly, it's important to remember that Rockstar isn't the only develo🍨per Take-Two has under its belt. Alongside the Red Dead Redemption and GTA studio, there's also 2K (best known for Borderlands), Zynga, and Private Division. So although Take-Two says it plans to re-release two new iterations of games it's previously released, that doesn't necessarily mean that they belong to Rockstar, unfortunately.
Not to rain on everyone's parade even more, but last year it was reported that Rockstar had canned GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption remasters - altho༺ugh it never even announced them in the first place. It would be great to find out that the projects weren't scrapped after all and that the two games Take-Two is talking about are Red Dead Redemption and GTA 4 remasters, but for now, we should take this with a grain of salt🔥 and try not to get our hopes up too high.
One game we definitely know is on the way though is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6.
]]>Speaking on the podcast (via ), Zelnick said, "In the entertainment business… we ado꧂pt our hits like they're part of us, they're part of our family, you know, we have a great affinity for them and we take it personally if people screw around with them, like it's not okay if the creators make a choice that is inconsistent with how we think these hits should be develop𒐪ed."
He went on to explain that this is the same "challenge" developer Rockstar faces when making a new entry in the GTA series. "It needs to be something you've never seen before on one hand, and it needs to reflect the feeling that we have about Grand Theft Auto, and that's a big challenge for the team," Zelnick said🌜.
Given the monumental success and popularity of GTA 5, the weight of expectation has never been greater. According to Zelnick, rather than buckling under pressure, Rockstar is aiming for the stars. "Now, Rockstar's answer is just seek perfection, seek nothing short of perfection and we&aposღ;ll get there."
The Take-Two boss didn't go into any specific details about GTA 6, but a recent earnings report outlining expectations for the company's 2025 fiscal year - which begins in April 2024 - suggests 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 could launch as early as next 🦂year.
Our own Joe Donnelly recently asked a psychic leading questions about the GTA 6 release date, and it was wonderfully weird.
]]>Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar parent Take-Two, was repeatedly asked about the now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:heavily implied 2024 launch window for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 on a recent CNBC news segment, and the resulting display of evasiveness would embarrass professional dodgeball ♎players.
Zelnick appeared on the news channel's Squawk Box show to discuss the company's ambitious earnings predictions, which are so far above the norm – about $3 billion, to be exact – that the release of a massively anticipated game like GTA 6 is actually one of the most likely explanations. Coꦓ-anchor Becky Quick noted that the news has "got people speculating that you've got to have Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out."
"So we've said that we're working on the next iteration of Grand Theft Auto, b🅺ut Rockstar hasn't announced a release date yet," Zelnick replied. "We've been working on this huge pipeline. We have 3♎6 titles coming to market in [fiscal year 2025 and 2026], and we obviously have high expectations.
"And you're right, we typically donꦓ't talk about future years. We typically give guidance and we try to go right down the middle, that's what we're supposed to do. In this instance, we wanted to give the industry the transparency it&apꦫos;s been asking for. So we basically gave an outlook for this fiscal year and the subsequent too. We have high expectations for [FY2025], but we also expect sequential growth in [FY2026]."
Quick asserts that Zelnick and Take-Two are generally "pretty conservative" about their predicti♑ons – which makes this $3 billion spike even more of an outlier – and asks what makes Zelnick so sure of the prediction.
"We've been working on this pipeline for a long time," Zelnick ansওwers. "We have a pretty good ability to predict the 🌳performance of new iterations of existing franchises."
"Like Grand Theft Auto?" Quick cuts in.
Glossing over things with a chuckle, Zelnick continues: "Actually we have 14 franchises that have each sold over five million units in an individual release. Titles like Red Dead, Borderlands, BioShock, Civilization, and many others." Which is true; these franchises are big and successful in their own right, but even Red Dead Redemption ain't $3 billion above-annual-average big.
As ever, a 2024 launch for GTA 6 remains unconfirmed. The fiscal year Take-Two's mapping out technically stretches into the first quarter of 2025, for starters, and GTA has seen both fall and spring releases with its latest installments, so we can't rule out either period. GTA 6 also isn't the only explanation 💟for the numbers Take-Two expects, even if it is looking increasingly likely.
We asked a psychic leading questions about the GTA 6 release date, and boy was it weird.
]]>"In Fiscal 2025, we expect to enter this new era by launching ꦬseveral groundbreaking titles that we believe will set new standards in our industry and enable us to achieve over $8 billion in Net Bookings and over $1 billion in Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow," says Rockstar's parent company in its latest . "We expect to sustain this momentum by delivering additional growth in our operating results in Fiscal 2026 and b🌄eyond."
That's all a little finance-speak, but the most important parts of this specific statement are mention of "several groundbreaking titles", and, of course, $8 billion in net bookings. From what I understand, the fiscal year 2025 generally kicks off in April 2024 for UK firms, and October 2024 for US outfits, although there appears to be wiggle room on either side of the pond. Either way, it now seems we could see GTA 6 as early as next year.

IN THE NEWS
Which, to be fair, was pretty much what my totally reliable psychic told me last month. Perhaps more relevant, though, is the fact that rumors of a 2024 GTA 6 release date have been circulating for some time. As noted in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 guide, a back in 2022 said "current and former Rockstar staff reckon GTA 6 is still at least two years away from release, suggesting a 2024 launch." This then who, in one its replies to the UK Competition and Markets Authority's investigation into its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ongoing acquisitioℱn of Activision Blizzar💝d, s🃏aid: "The highly anticipated Grꦉand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be released in 2024."
Speaking to the latest earning's report, Take-Two's $8 billion in annual net bookings is a pretty big jump from the company's reported $5.35 billion in fiscal year 2023, and its rough prediction of $5.42 for fiscal year 2024. I couldn't be further from a financial analyst – seriously, any talk of money at this level sounds like Monopoly to me – but that jump of ~$3 billion makes more sense in the context of Take-Two and Rockstar's previous earnings reports. Sure, mention of "several" new games here sounds interesting at face-value, but it's worth noting Take-Two also owns the likes of 2K, and the recently-acquired Farmville dev Zynga. "Several" new games could apply to any of those, and the $3 billion jump could reflect further buyout❀s akin to the latter takeo𝔉ver.
To me, what's more interesting is how Take-Two's earnings projections changed in the wake of Red Dead Redemption 2's delay a few years back. Originally scheduled to launch in the second half of 2017, RDR2 was pushed to October 2018 – a move thatꦗ saw the company's share and stock prices drop, and also, more importantly, its projected earnings fall. , Take-Two's forecasted revenue for the financial year ending March 31, 2018 was i♒nitially $2.23 billion, but, post-delay, changed to $1.42 billion.
Again, not to get bogged down in the money side of it all, but that example, at this moment in 🏅time at least, double-underscores the idea that GTA 6 could be with us next year, or some point in 2025 at th✨e latest. GTA 5 is still clearly raking it in for Take-Two and Rockstar – it was only 2018 when it passed 100 million unit sales; it's now edged its nose over 180 – but it really feels like the stage is now set for its successor proper, even if we're yet to get a trailer or proper reveal. October 2024, was what my psychic said. And, the way things are unfolding, she just might be right!
Here are 10 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like GTA you need to play while waiting for GTA 6
]]>As part of its Q3 2023 quarterly earning꧂s presentation, Take-Two Interactive has revealed that the cowboy game has now sold 50 million copies in total, bringing the entire series to 70 million in sales. A more recent win has been Steam, with Red Dead Redemption 2 reportedly ranking as the top-selling game for the quarter and third for 2022.
"We were [...] pleased with the performance of Red Dead Redemption 2, which oꦉutpaced our expectations, driven by suc💧cessful holiday promotions and events," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says.
As we previously reported, Red Dead Redemption 2 has seen consistent new concurrent player peaks on Steam in the latter half of 2022. A big ol' sale was the reason𝄹 for that initially, but then it just kept on happening.
A large part of its sustainability is the strong community that has formed around the game – heck, remember that one Red Dead Redemption 2 fan with nearly 6,000 hours on Sta♔💎dia? While that bodes well for the game's health, it's also a community that feels somewhat starved of content. Just this time last year, Red Dead Online players launﷺched a revival campaign hoping to catch Rockstar's eye, with one player going as far as to lay out a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:five-year plan.
The fact Red Dead Redemption 2 is doing better than Take-Two would expect makes for pleasant reading, though it may offer little comfort to lo🌳ng-term fans uඣnless it's actioned upon with a more vibrant update cadence with more meaningful content.
Here are some great 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like Red Dead Redemption 2 to storm the old west with.
]]>As spotted by the ever-watchful GTA sleuths over on Twitter, the rumored GTA 6 release window was mentioned in to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation into its ongoing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
In it, the console maker argues that Activision games don't make up a significant enough percentage of the market share to hurt competition, and it points to other major games and publishers, including Rockstar parent Take-Two Interactive, as a means of defense. In the process of saying practically a✱nything to make Call of Duty look less valuable, Microsoft singles out GTA 6 as one of the big-wig games on the horizon.
"The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V💃I is expected to be released in 2024," a portion of Microsoft&apos♎;s response reads.
While that reads a lot like a confirmed GTA 6 releaseꦅ window, Microsoft actually cites a article on this point, which itself cit🍨es a report from . That article claims "current and former Rockstar staff reckon GTA 6 is still at least two years away from release, suggesting a 2024 launch."
It's entirely possible that Microsoft, being the maj🍎or platform owner it is, has inside knowledge as to Rockstar's plans for GTA 6, but it's also possible it's purely refꦺerring to publicly available reports and rumors when it says GTA 6 is expected to launch in 2024.
Neither Rockstar nor its parent company Take-Two have confirmed a release date or even a 🌳target year for GTA 6. However, the fact that Microsoft has shared these claims in an official report, without contesting them, seems notable in and of itself, even if it is partജ of a smokescreen of big games meant to cover Call of Duty.
Rockstar recently called the massi💖ve GTA 6 leak from September "terribly disappointing" but assured fans it won't affect♐ the game's development, which is good🍌 news for the millions eagerly waiting for its release.
It's also good news for Rockstar and Take-Two, as after nine years, GTA 5 sales are finally starting to slow down.
]]>If you're not familiar with GTA RP, they're essentially modded servers that let players get into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA Online in ways not officially supported by the game itself. You could run a store, be a cop, or watch the world burn a♈longside 999 other players while pla﷽ying the guitar. These servers are wildly popuꦜlar, thanౠks in large part to their success among major streamers.
But Rockstar and parent company Take-Two have had an uneasy relationship with mods over the years, generating headlines after shutting down seemingly innocuous too🌊ls like OpenIV. T♎hey issued a in 2017 essentially givin🍎g the okay to single-player mods (with numerous exceptions), but that's left the tools used to make GTA RP happen in a bit of a gray area.
Now, Rockstar says in a new that it hopes roleplay servers "will continue to thrive in a safe and friendly way for many y🐎ears to come", and runs down some rules similar to the ones issued for single-player mods.
Essentially, RP servers cannot make use of unrelated IP - so no more playing as Superman. That includes "other Rockstar IP," so don't expect to be playing as John Marston in an RP server, either. You also can't sell loot boxes or in-game currency, profit from corporate sponsor🧔ships, or integrate cryptocurrenc༒y.
That last point might be the most relevant, as we're seeing more and more GTA RP servers - including some of the most popular - profiting on sales of in-game cash and loot boxes. Those servers have largely gone under the radar, but we may soon see Rockstar start to take action against them now that the studio h❀as laid out clear rules for what is and isn't allowed.
Rockstar al꧒so explicitly prohibits "making new games, stories, missions, or maps," just as it does in its rules on single-player mods. That more or less prohibits any sort of new content appearing in a mod, though given how that same rule has been applied for sing𓆉le-player mods, it's likely to be selectively enforced.
The statement's legalese concludes with a reminder that Rockstar and Take-Two are not endorsing or approving any third-party projects, and they could change their ♐mind at any time to take legal action against any given mod.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 is still a long way away, but it's already time to speculate on whether it will take any inspiration from RP servers.
]]>With fans meticulously combing🌌 ꧑over all 5000-plus frames of the latest trailer to uncover more - such 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:as beer tech, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:very impressive cloth animations - we've also gotten a better picture of the dual protagonists in Lucia and Jason, with Rockstar shedding some light on their backgrounds. With each new detail that drops, the more the level of excitement grows for what promises to be one of biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games set to come in the future.
And Take Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick has only added to that by saying that "Rockstar Games is trying to create the෴ best thing anyone's ever seen in entertainment", which is certainly quite the statement. But since it's been over a decade since we saw GTA 5, there's a lot of appetite out there for the next entry. For a full recap of everything we know about GTA 6 so far, from the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer that came in 2023, to our latest look, and🐠 everything in between, reಌad on below.
GTA 6 Release window
GTA 6 release date
GTA 6's release date is set to release on May 26, 2026.
Rockstar confirmed the release date in a post on , which pushes GTA 6's expected launch back from the previous Fall 2025 launch window - which was revealed in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Take-Two financial report back in May, 2024.
In the release date announcement post, Rockstar Games states: "We are very sorry that this is l🗹ater than you 𓄧expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game."
Rumors of a potential delay had been circling for some time ahead of the above announcement, with lots of speculation doing the rounds since the vague 2025 window was revealed back in 2024. It was first sparked when 🅘Rockstar mo🍒ved all of its employees back to full-time in-office work five days a week, which multiple of ꦺits developers have ൲expressed concern about, particularly when it comes to the potential effects on the ไsequeꦐl.
A 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:report via Kotaku also suggested GTA 6 may be pushed into 2026, and former Rockstar dev Obbe Vermeij had also said that GTA 6 will sell "10+ years" since there's "no competition", meani🐼ng that Rockstar is "not going to release the game until thꩵey're 100% happy". While confirmation of the delay does mean we'll have to wait longer to dive into Rockstar's open-world adventure, having a concreate date to look forward to rather than a vaguer launch window is a bit of a silver lining, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a Take-🌠Two boss saying another delay 🐎is unlikely.
GTA 6 Trailer
GTA 6 trailer: Watch it here
The first GTA 6 reveal trailer is here, and it's everything that we hoped it would be. While Rockstar had originally set the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer release date for Tuesday, Dece𒊎mber 5, 2024, a leak pushed the publisher to get the long-awaited first look at the new Grand Theft Auto out into the world a little earlier last year.
The GTA 6 trailer, which you can view above, gives us a first look at the return to Vice City and the new protagonists. For a detailed overview, be sure to check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer breakdown.
GTA 6 trailer 2
GTA 6 trailer 2 gives us another look at thꦯe state of Leonida where the upcoming adventure will be taking place, along with some exciting story hints that build on what's been revealed previously. As dual protagonists Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval work together to find a new beginning in the city, we see Jason go to collect Lucia from prison, followed by several action shots of them both getting caught up in various hijinks. It's certainly giving off some Bonnie and Clyde vibes all over again.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2's description also mentions that the "deck is stacked against them when an easy score goes wrong", which leads them to "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy" that's said to stretch "across the state". It sounds like we're about to get 💜wrapped up some dangerous situations that'll force the pair to rely on each📖 other.
While we are still waiting for more teasers, you can check out our list of the best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like GTA to play now.
GTA 6 Platforms
GTA 6 platforms: PS5 and Xbox Series X/S confirmed
So far, it has been confirmed that GTA 6 will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S when it arrives in 2026.
The news came by way of an official from Take Two, which states that: "GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 computer entertainment systems and Xbox Series X|S games and entertainment systems". With the PS5 Pro now in play, we don't yet know if GTA 6 will be among the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 Pro enhanced games.
According to a tech expert, however, it likeꦗly won't run at 60fps on the conso𒊎le, even if it has "higher quality visuals". We'll have to wait and see.
As for whether GTA 6 will be coming to PC, it's looking unlikely at this point, but we'𓂃ll keep an eye out for any news on this front.
Will GTA 6 be on PS4 and Xbox One?
Will GTA 6 have a PC release?
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史🤡查询:There's currently no mention of a PC launch, which might suggest it will follow a similar route to some of the previous GTA games that relea𓂃sed on consoles first, before arriving on PC at a later date. Our best bet is that PC players will have to wait beyond the 2026 release date to play on their preferred platform.
According to a former developer, GTA 6 𒁏on PC will likely tak🍌e a while, with PS5 taking priority as Rockstar focuses on "what sells".
That's corroborated by another former developer, who said the GTA 6𝔍 PC launch pro🐓bably won't come for "a long time."💮 We will keep you updated if any d𝄹etails change, but for now, PC players can play all the major GTA games on PC while they wait for the new title.

GTA 6 Characters
GTA 6 characters: Introducing Lucia and Jason
Following the drop of the second GTA 6 trailer, Rockstar released a detailed overview of some of the key 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters we'll be meeting in Leonida on its . With some more background information on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the dual protagonists of GTA 6 - Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos - who were firs𝓡t introduced to in the first official trailer, we now know that Lucia grew up in Liberty City and drea🃏ms of the "good life" in Leonida.

As they take on life together in the city, it's said tha🔯t they'll have to rely on one another more than ever. The pair certainly appear to share a bond, or a kind of Bonnie and Clyde-like relationship, and spe꧑ak of trust as they get stuck into some crime together.
We've also seen a lineup of other faces that look set to factor into Lucia and Jason's adventures in the Keys. Below, you can fi🍃nd a full list of all of the other GTA 6 characters we know about so far.

GTA 6 Location
GTA 6 location: We're heading back to Vice City
GTA 6 is taking us back to Vice City. While the original game was set in 1986, this new 2026 release is set to take place in what appears to be a modern day setting. Rockstar revealed we'll be heading to the state of Leonida which is "home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond"ღ. Set to be the "biggest, most immersive evolution of Grand Theft Auto yet", Vice City appears to be a part of a bigger map that will form GTA 6.
The first and second trailers have already given us glimpses of a Vice City m𒁏ade prettier than ever, with a take on rural Florida that's every bit as chaotic as the r🌳eal thing - with some familiar spots such as Starfish Island. Fans were quick to 🌟compare what was shown in the first trailer to the locations from the original Vice City, which demonstrates how incredibly detailed the updated take on the location is𝄹.
Following the drop of GTA 6 trailer 2, Rockstar also released 85 new GTA 6 screenshots wh🐷iꦐch showcase some of the locations that will make up t🧸he new game's open-world setting. With post card-like images that co🌳nfirm the names of some of the different areas (that can be seen above), we also got some in-location screenshots.
We get a better look at an updated Vice City; the touristy Leonida Keys; the wilderness-filled Mount Kalaga National Park; Port Gellhorn, which features cheap motels and strip clubs; the rural and industrial areas of Ambrosia that's home to a biker gang; and finally, the swampy landscapes of Grassrivers.

GTA 6 News
GTA 6 announcement: When was GTA 6 confirmed?
The first GTA 6 announcement came in February 2022, when Rockstar Games snuck out the news that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 is "well underway" as part of a broader GTA 5 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA Online Community Update. With word that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in "active development", Rockstar said: "On behalf of our entire team, w๊e thank you all for your support and cannot wait to step into the future with you!"
In August 2022, Rockstar's parent company Take-Tw🐎o Interactive reaffirmed that GTA 6 development is "well underway" as part of the company's finan🐭cial results report. Take-Two CEO 💝Strauss Zel🐟nick made some big promises for what GTA 6 will achieve: "With development of the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series well underway, the Rockstar Games team is determined to once again set creative benchmarks for the series, our industry, and for all entertainment, just as the label has done with every one of their frontline releases."
GTA 6 News
There hasn't been much official GTA 6 news besides the recent🍎ly confirmed release date, which pushes it into 2026, along with the latest trailer which sheds some light on the characters we'll be meeting. But we have had some Rockstar employees teasing features and the trailer to unpack.
Of course, we have also had the massive leak—which you can read about below — and responses to that leak, but otherwise,🌳 the developer has been pretty quiet on the highly anticipated sequel.
- Take-Two's CEO is probably the world's only person to refuse the chance to play GTA 6 because "I'm not a gamer" - his role is to "get out of their way"
- Take-Two won't begin marketing GTA 6 until it's closer to release: "The anticipation for this title may be the greatest anticipation I've ever seen for any entertainment property"
- Take-Two CEO "fully" supports Rockstar's GTA 6 delay, promises "a groundbreaking, blockbuster entertainment experience that exceeds audience expectations"
- GTA 6 might already be using AI-powered animation tech, says San Andreas dev: "If anyone is going to make that step it's going to be Rockstar"
- Rockstar developers react to the GTA 6 trailer leak: "Well, that F***ing sucks"
- GTA 6 has to do the impossible - "reflect the feeling" of the series while also being "something never seen before"
- The GTA 6 trailer wasn't just cinematics, according to a former Rockstar developer who says "It's really gonna look like this"
- Rockstar is "seeking perfection" for GTA 6 and will release it when it's "optimized creatively"
- GTA 6 could be the most important thing "to ever release in the industry, so no pressure," reliable analyst predicts
- GTA 6 publisher says "perfection is hard to measure," but Rockstar is trying to create "an experience that no one has seen before"
- GTA 6 publisher CEO says he wants to "vastly over-deliver" on price and offer "more value than what we charge"
GTA 6 Leaks
GTA 6 leaks: Are the GTA 6 leaks real?
There was an unprecedented GTA 6 leak on September 18, 2022, which saw dozens of videos and screenshots from an alleged in-development build of the game spread online. Are you wondering whether the GTA 6 leaks are real? Well, R🔜ockstar has since issuꦰed a statement confirming the hack: "We recently suf♊fered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized thi𓂃rd party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto."
"We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way," the Rockstar statement continues. "We will update everyone again soon and, of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it's ready. We want to thank everyone for their ongoin🐼g support through this situation."
48 hours after the GTA 6 leak first appeared, the GTA Forums worked to scrub 𓂃all r🍨emnants of the illegally obtained screenshots and videos to avoid being "obliterated by Rockstar". The dedicated GTA 6 reddit also took all offline, and has committed to staying online with one condition: "We willꩵ allow discussions related to the leak without attaching the leaks. We don't allow comments that has [sic] download links to the leak."
Since then, Rockstar and parent company Take-Two have spoken out about the leaks. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:In a recent earnings call, CEO of GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick said that the leak was "terribly unfortunate",♔ before adding that "we take those sorts of incidents very seriously indeed".
"There's no 🃏evidence that any material assets wer♋e taken, which is a good thing, and certainly, the leak won't have any influence on development or anything of the sort. But it is terribly disappointing and causes us to be ever more vigilant on matters relating to cybersecurity."
The latest update on all of this is that the tꦓeenager accused of massive G💛TA 6 leak has been deemed psychiatrically unfit for trial. Reuters reports that 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj, ♋a member of the Lapsus$ hacking group has been assessed by psychiatrists who have deemed him unfit to stand trial for himself.
Interestingly, there's one leaked GTA 6 screenshot that is the sole survival of a Rockst🍷ar copyright "nuke". Seems l🌠ike just a single frame has🌃 escaped the all-encompassing copyright claims Rockstar has waved across the internet.
Why was GTA 6 delayed?
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 release date delay officially pushed🌟 it into 2026, with Rockstar confirming it will no longer be releasing in the initial Fall 2025 launch window.
There had been speculation about a delay for some time. In the immediate aftermath of the GTA 6 leak, there was some concern over how the intrusion would impact ongoing development of the new Grand Theft Auto game. Rockstar later that the hack would not affect GTA 6 production, or the ongoing security of GTA 5 and GTA Onl𒐪ine.
But Rockstar citied needing more time 💧to bring us the kind of experience we expect as the reasoning behind the release date move into 2026: "With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve."
GTA 6 Map
GTA 6 map: new details
While the final 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 map is yet to be shown, there are some indicators from the ๊leaked video and screens that indicate a play space that stretches beyond the confines of Vice City.
Much in the same way Rockstar expa𒐪nded upon Los Santos between Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA 5, a few of the leaked screenshots appear to show all-new areas of Vice City. As you may know, Vice City itself is loosely based on Miami, and there's now speculation that GTA 6 will push f👍urther south toward the Everglades (a wetland) and the Florida Keys (a string of tropical islands).
Now, the "Gator Keys" were referenced in the original GTA: Vice City as part of a radio broadcast, but the location was never shown in-game. If the screenshots suggest what we think they are, expect the GTA 6 map to contain a mixture of environm𝓡ent types.
Interestingly, fans are convinced that the GTA 6 map will be much larger than that of GTA 5. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Using leaked GTA 6 coordinates, the GTA 6 subreddit fans are trying to map out the map itself, and later started stitching GTA 6's map together using Goog♔le Earth and 🦄Paint. Another fan, Yo🐎uTuber Dark Space, also modded their interpretation of the GTA 6 map into GTA 5 from what we've seen in the trailers ꦜso far. Clever folks.
GTA 6 Gameplay
GTA 6 gameplay
As Rockstar is yet to release an unvarnished GTA 6 gameplay trailer, it's difficult for us to say with certainty how this new game will play and how it will innovate on Grand Theft Auto 5. However, it's clear from the earl🦋y development footage which leaked out that Rockstar is at least investigating and playtesting some new mechanics.
For example, it appears that a new serie𓃲s of stealth mechanics is being introduced – with footage depicting characters crawling whil♕e prone and even carrying bodies.
Putting the auto in GTA
Additionally, the weapon wheel – which was overhauled for GTA 5 – is returning in some capacity, and the leaked footage suggests that Rockstar is introducing new health buff items such as painkillers. We can also see that the Five Star 'Wanted' system is returning, and t𓆏hat the VCPD have improved AI routines for tracking Jason and Lucia after you get on their radar.

]]>🏅"We believe that this attacker (or attackers) are affiliated with a hacking group called Lapsus$, which has been increasingly active over the last year or so," Uber said in a recent . "This group typically uses similar techniques to target technology companies, and in 2022 alone has breached Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung, Nvidia and Okta, among others.
"There are also reports over the weekend that this same actor br🎐eached video game maker Rockstar Games," it adds. "We are in close coordination with the FBI and US Department of Justice on this matter and will continue to support their efforts."
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 leak was partly the result of a Slack breach, and the hacking methods Uber describes echo this approܫach. Uber reckons that the credentials of a contractor's account were compromised via malware, purchased online, and then used to access other accounts as well as tools like G-Suite and Slack.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rockstar addressed the GTA 6 leak yesterday, confirming that an unauthorized third party had illegally accessed its network and downloaded the materials which were shared online. The studio maintains that "work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as planned," though the situation will undoubtedly be a nightmare to deal with. In a separate statement, Rockstar parent Take-Two affirmed it had "taken steps to isolate and contain this incidenꦐt."
The GTA 6 leak prompted an outpouring of support from high-profile game devs, from the makers of Cyberpunk 2077 to The Last of Us.
]]>Teapotuberhacker – 🧸who spent several pages on the patiently going back and fore just trying to convince players the leaks were real before talking in any detail about them – eventually convinced the notoriously skeptical posters that what they were posting may be rea🐼l.
The stunning discovery includes "GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets" an🍎d includes both videos and screenshots, albeit from a test build that has missing assets. Right now, they're pretty ♏easy to find across and all (although I don't suppose they'll be readily available online for long, let's face it).
It looks asꦐ though GTA 6 will be set in Vice City - which backs up a prior rumor about the project - and feature dialogue options that should be familiar 🐈to those of you who've spent any time with Red Dead Redemption 2.
No official information on GTA 6 has yet been revealed, of course, although prior rumors hinted that it will be the first entry in♍ the series with a female protagonist, with early plans had called for four playable protagonists and three explorable citie🤪s, an idea that was 🌄scaled back for a smaller 🐼scope.
"With development of the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series well underway, the Rockstar Games team is determined to once again set creative benchmarks for the series, our industry, and for all entertainment, just as the label has done with every one of their frontline releases," Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, said as part of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史♒查询:company's latest financial results report.
GTA 5 has reached nearly 170 million units sold-in - up another five million in the last three months leading to June alone. The publisher s💞ays the new GTꩵA+ subscription has also "seen consistent growth since launch", and players on new-gen consoles, where that service is exclusively available, are spending more money on microtransactions than those on previous-generation machines.

]]>But that's the problem with games like GTA 5 - when a game 🎐gives lets you do anything, you can't help but want everything, plus a little more. And for awhile, it seemed like that was what we were going to get.
A from December 2013 tells players to look forward to "substantial additions" to the game's story mode. These additions were planned for 2014. In case you needed to check your watch and/or calendar, it's now 2💛016 and all's quiet on the single-player San Andreas front.
So the question is, where is it? It's been three years since GTA 5 first released on Xbox 360 and PS3, two years since it came to Xbox One and PS4, and one year since its arrival on PC. In that time, what🎀 have we learned about GTA 5 single-player DLC?
Interestingly, most rumors have been spurred not thanks to anyone from Rockstar, but those who work with the studio. Shawn Fonteno, who plays Franklin in GTA 5,💮 told in 2014 that, "We’re working on the DLC, downloadable content, for Grand Theft Auto 5, and that's real big. That's like, first on my list right now, to finish that up."
Fonteno also posted a with headphones and what appeared to be a mo-cap suit on Instagram back in June 2015, and in a mo-cap suit, lounging in what look like Rockstar's offices, in January of this year. Fonteno isn't credited with playing anyone else, so this has le🐷d fans to believe that when he says "DLC," Fonteno means of the single-player variety. Characters from the single-player portion have shown up in GTA Online, but this hasn't quashed the rumors among fans.
If Fonteno is indeed working on story DLC though, either his co-stars don't know about it and aren't involved, or they're better at keeping secrets. Ned Luke, who plays Michael De Sant𒁃a, wrote on in January: "EVERYBODY wants single player DLC... I know NOTHING about that. Don't know when it's gonna happen or even IF it's gonna happen."
So what d🎃oes Rockstar have to say? Surprisingly little. Straus Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, said during an investor call prior to the game's 2013 release that fans could "safely assume" that there would be "a lot of interesting stuff." The assumption at the time was that this meant single-player DLC, a la The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony for GTA 4, would be coming to GTA 5.
However, Rockstar pretty much confirmed that it had dropped development of story DLC when Director of Design at Rockstar North Imran Sarwar spoke to in September 2015. "Right now our focus is on GTA Online which has exceeded our expectations," Sarwar said. "We currently have al𝓡l key members of the team that launched Grand Theft Auto 5 focused on supporting GTA Online in every capacity."
When Sarwar says that GTA Online exceeded expectations, he's not kidding. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:According to a lawsuit filed by former president of Rockstar North Leslie Benzies, GTA Online has raked in $500 million in revenue thanks to microtransactions. That's half a billion dollars from an onli෴ne multiplayer mode of a $60 game that hasn't even been out for ▨three full years.
For comparison, free-to-play League of Legends, the most popular game in the world (and that's not hyperbole, it literally has more active players across the globe than any other single title), . By that point, the game had been out for four years. So yeah. GTA Online earning nearly as mu🌼ch over its relatively short lifetime as LoL did in one year is pretty staggering.
I can't say I blame Rockstar for wanting to focus on where the money is rathe🍸r than sink a ton of resources and time into single-player content. After all, it takes weeks upon months upon years for Rockstar to create its fantastic open worlds, but players will only buy such a piece of D♕LC once. And to Take-Two's then-CEO Ben Feder, the market for 2009's The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony was "smaller than initially expected."
Mea꧟nwhile, a new outfit or car for your GTA Online avatar takes considerably less work to produce, and you can buy as much GTA$ as your real-world wallet can handle. From a "you and me as players who want more story" perspective, it's not very encouraging. But from a business perspective, it makes se൩nse.
Now, this isn't to say that GTA 5 single-player DLC will never happen. A screenshot showing Liberty City's Middle Park remade in GTA 5's engine popped up in an online portfolio belonging to a Rockstar artist just last week, and the company is at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2016 - something it typically doesn't🎶 have. It could be Rockstar is gearing up to announce the long-aꦚwaited extra content.
Or it cꦓould be something else entirely. Or it could all be a coincidence. The only thing we really know for certain in this scenario is that we don't know much. The progress of GTA 5's story DLC has been shrouded in mystery from day one. B♒efore it, even. And though we can look back and see its path traced over the years, odds are that mystery is going to continue for the foreseeable future.

“We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment exper🍃ience that is expected from our Company,” said Strauss 🅷Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two in the .
The decision to move Max Payne 3 out of Take-Two's Q4 fiscal 2012 period means the company is now anticipating a net revenue loss of up to $230 million for the complete fiscal 2012 year. Reversely, Zelnick noted Max Payne 3's addition to its fiscal 2013 line-up will pay off big time down the road, explaining, “With Max Payne 3 now slated for May, our robust lineup of upcoming releases for fiscal 2013 is even stronger, including BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and other titles yet to be announc🧸ed for release that year...We are well positioned to deliver growth and profitability over the long term.”
