The highly-anticipated release of GTA 6 may be facing a delay, according to insider sources within Rockstar Games. The development of the game is reportedly behind schedule, casting doubt on the previously anticipated 2025 release window.
Rockstar management is said to be concerned about the potential delay pushing the release of GTA 6 into 2026. While the company is aiming for a spring 2025 release, sources suggest that a more realistic timeline may be in the autumn of that year.
A 2026 release has been considered a “fallback plan” or an “emergency” option by Rockstar, indicating the seriousness of the current situation. Despite these rumors, Rockstar has yet to officially comment on the status of GTA 6’s development.
In addition to the concerns surrounding the game’s release date, Rockstar has faced criticism from developers over a recent full-time return to office mandate. Employees are now required to work in the office five days a week, starting in April, sparking backlash from the gaming community.
The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain has also weighed in on the matter, criticizing Rockstar for the sudden change in remote working policies. The move to require employees to return to the office has raised questions about work-life balance and the company’s treatment of its staff.
As fans eagerly await more news about GTA 6, it seems that both the game’s release date and Rockstar’s handling of its workforce are topics of concern. Stay tuned for any updates on this developing story.
