What you should know about GTA:O Release time

Releasing updates is always fuzzy on consoles, as both have set times to roll out updates, we don't know if GTA online will be one of the exceptions that releases whenever it wants. If it is, it may well be staggered across regions so the servers don't get overflown and crash.

 

Rockstar aren't giving us a definite time because they likely simply don't know, or it's too complicated to be giving out times as there are many different times varying around the globe.

 

If I were you, I'd just go about my day as normal, and check up on the newswire/forums every now and then, I've been through enough game launches to know that it's not worth it, it feels like forever and it likely won't come out early. They've said it will be October 2nd in australia due to time differences, it's currently almost 8am in australia. That means it won't be out for AT LEAST 16 HOURS from the time of this post.

 

When R* has a time for us, they'll give us one, if not, just go about your day as normal, there's no point wasting time sitting waiting.

Yeah, sorry. I just don't see us waiting 16 hours to get this. I seriously, seriously doubt it. Then again, it's not like Sony or X-Box has ever cared about the consumers, but still. It'll probably launch differently in other areas.

Plus, who's "they"? PSN/XBL or R*? Because I can tell you depending on your answer, this whole post is proved to be sh*t.

ok who the F are you to tell us what to do kid

 

u serious? we've waited 2 weeks moron

Just trying to give those waiting for a midnight release some perspective, not everyone knows these details, sorry if you found it unhelpful, there's no need to be such a dick about it...

I'm sorry you found it confusing, I clearly said rockstar many times. Sorry you found it unhelpful...

Psn normally updates around 3-5pm here in the UK, and I expect the patch to become available at the same time. So that would roughly match with the 'at least 16 hours' OP mentioned. That being said, after the issues with the social club website going down for days at a time when the game was launched, I would be surprised if we all get it at different times anyway.
