Bully has been rated for release across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, right as it's due to debut for GTA+ members.

As first reported by Gematsu, Rockstar's oft-overlooked classic Bully was just rated in Taiwan, for a release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. You can probably already guess how the regular rumor mill has taken this as evidence of a remaster, or even a remake.

That's probably not the case, though. As Rockstar announced earlier this month, Bully is slated to join the GTA+ games library, and "will be available for GTA+ Members to download on the console platform that coincides with their active GTA+ Membership, and on compatible iOS and Android devices."

Interestingly, the new rating doesn't make mention of the Android and iOS re-releases of Bully. It's also worth pointing out that Bully is already available via emulation on the PS5 via the PlayStation Plus subscription service, as well as on PC via Steam.

There have been a lot of Bully revival claims over the past few years, and so far, not a single one has had any grain of truth to it whatsoever. Numerous leakers claimed Bully 2 was Rockstar's next game after Red Dead Redemption 2, which obviously ended up being GTA 6 and definitely not a Bully sequel.

GTA 6 might already be using AI-powered animation tech, says San Andreas dev: "If anyone is going to make that step it's going to be Rockstar."
