Next add in an estimated 1-5 hours to decrypt depending on if you have an SSD or HDD. Then add in any possible first day patches. Next add in the always inevitable bogged down log in server issues and what we come up with is Nobody has a freaking clue when we will actually be able to play.

monk70 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 We don't know exactly at the moment. Maybe R* will say something within a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too good to be true, but I'll take it! IIRC, for reference, GTA V unlocked some time Monday night EST April 13, at least on Steam. EDIT: It unlocked that Monday at 7PM EST according to this Reddit post: Edited October 30, 2019 by CartmanKusanagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcole4001 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If that's accurate, and I can't see why it wouldn't be, then I can start decrypting at 9:00 PM Monday. I may well get to start playing later that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcole4001 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I didn't expect to get to start until after work on the 5th, so it's a bonus. I won't likely get too far in maybe an hour or so max, so really can't begin to get into the game until Tuesday evening anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
