RE: The state of 'GTA VI'...

Some viewers have an old answer to a new GTA question: perhaps that tank appeared because someone entered a cheat code. Beneath Luke Stephens' "The absolute state of 'GTA VI'...", memories of spawning tanks in San Andreas sit alongside speculation about developer tools.

The upload has drawn roughly 324,000 views in 13 hours, already several times Stephens' usual full-day audience. It follows shorter GTA uploads about Xbox and unanswered questions, but gives the subject room for a broader discussion.

Stephens moves from launch marketing to a purported new leak and its aftermath, then into emulation and console availability. His description lists a November release date for Rockstar's return to a modern Vice City, putting the practical question of how to play alongside the scrutiny of what has been shown.

The comments split along those same lines. Some viewers question whether a game this recognizable needs an extensive advertising campaign at all. Others focus on the footage, discussing Jason's personality or recalling the button combinations that once made heavy machinery appear on demand.

For one PC player, the concern is more immediate: they had planned to buy a PS5 for GTA VI, but price and availability have them hoping for a faster PC release.

What viewers say

When I saw the tank spawn, I didn't even think of dev tools.

My first thought was circle, circle, L1, circle, circle, circle, L1, L2, R1, Triangle, circle, triangle. 😂😂😂

Those “dev tools” may also be single player cheats. Remember back in San Andreas you could spawn a tank just like that.

Its one of those games where i think......does it really need a massive marketing budget ? like just release a few trailers and it will go gangbusters regardless

I really do hope they expedite it on PC. I personally have a PC that is very well capable of running GTA6. I planned to buy a PS5 to play it, but the way things are looking, I won’t be able to buy one, especially with how expensive they’ve gotten.

Jason seems like a way cooler character than the Extended look made it look like he was. A lot more personality and inflection in his lines, really gives me socially awkward Arthur vibes
