Rockstar Games shared the first teaser trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) on YouTube a few months ago, greatly anticipated by the gaming community. While the teaser announced the game’s release for 2025, every scene of the video was scrutinized by players, revealing many intriguing details and heightening expectations.
Recently, there was a notable rumor circulating about the release date of GTA 6 being pushed back to 2026 due to potential setbacks in Rockstar Games’ development process. However, it’s now been suggested that there’s no delay based on recent details that have emerged. Here are the specifics:
The 2026 claim for GTA 6 release date may not be true
The 2026 claim about GTA 6’s release date might not be accurate. The rumor of a delay caused quite a stir in the gaming world, even affecting the stock prices of Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive. Subsequently, Insider-Gaming, a trusted source in the gaming industry, reached out to sources familiar with the game’s development process for clarification.
The information received contradicted the claim of a delay, stating that there were no setbacks in GTA 6’s development program and that work was progressing as planned. Thus, for now, we can say that there haven’t been any significant changes. Therefore, the planned release date for GTA 6 remains in 2025, although an exact date has yet to be announced.
GTA parent company Take-Two has acquired Gearbox, the studio behind the popular role-playing series Borderlands.
Rockstar Games recently reverted to an in-office work system, and it’s reported that over 1000 people are currently working on GTA 6. Consequently, expectations for the new game are quite high, and every new development sparks curiosity among players.
