GTA VI Trailer hits 100 Millions Views and Gets Delayed
Looks like GTA VI is being rescheduled for a 2026 Release as mentioned by
of .The trailer dropped 6 Days ago (6 May ‘25) and hit about 100 Million views at the time of this wrting and man it looks like the ultimate graphics rendition of a real life simulator.
My last GTA Game was on PS2 GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. I did not really followed up with the other newer GTAs but looks like there will be a lot of mini games to play and romance….
With the delay I wonder if GTA will push game prices to $100 when released.
GTA6 is set to return to Vice City.

Epic Wins Apple
Looks like Tim Sweeney will be able to get Fortnite back on the apple App store. An you have the option to have your own web store.
Xsolla a payments and webshopt provider is already showing what you can do with a web store outside apple ecosystem with their Buy Button for Game Devs to integrate into their mobile apps.
Will this mean more games will bypass the apple payment processor? Will Xbox launch their own store on the mobile app store?
We will see how it goes for those Fortnite skins when Fortnite returns to mobile.
For Devs making mobile app games this might be time to go in on the app store with the reduced fees.
