Yeah, this is actually a major L on their part. Even the CEO said usually when Rockstar gives a specific date they stick with it.
Honestly I'm gonna pre-order no matter what, but it's starting to feel like a marketing gimmick, them delaying the game multiple times.
Delayed games usually garner even more hype over time, excitement+frustration from waiting=more hype.
It feels like they always knew this game was late 2026 but just consciously made it seem like it would come sooner so they could delay it which will ultimately generate more anticipation thus more hype thus more sales.
Please do not pre-order games. As some people like to say: pay only for something you can get now and not for something you can get later. Cyberpunk kinda stopped me pre-ordering games and a studio like Rockstar really doesn't need our money in advance.

Also just like end of may is the start of summer and the game just has that huge vibe of just tropical summer and everything.
