    I think pre production probably lasted most of the way through GOWR. As far I know SSM isn't a two team studio. 1.5 at most, full production probably started late 2022 / early 2023 and would likely have at least two years left I think we might still get a teaser this year though

    I think Sony need to walk a fine line One less than stellar expansion does not define a studio I do think they would make more sense under PS Studios umbrella and accountable to actual gamers in the business. Reporting up to a bunch of Japanese bankers I assume is not ideal

    From what I've seen its got a bunch of features like no quest markers or fast travel. Some journalists will cry when not having their hand constantly held

    Discussion IGN: There’s a Lot Riding on GTA 6 — and Not Just for Rockstar and Take-Two - Could be the most important game release Ever

    Cyberpunk is selling at a faster rate than Witcher 3. It had launch issues for sure, mostly technical on consoles That won't be an issue for GTA6 which will be extremely polished just like RDR2
