Grand Theft Auto VI, the highly anticipated sequel to the immensely popular GTA V, may be facing delays in its release date. Sources close to the game’s development process have revealed that the game, set in Vice City, may not be ready for release until 2026, missing its originally planned 2025 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series.
The delay is reportedly due to production falling behind schedule, as Rockstar Games faces challenges with their employees returning to the office full-time. The company’s decision to mandate a five-day work week has caused frustration among staff, leading to concerns about the game missing its release window.
Although Rockstar Games is still aiming for a Spring 2025 release, it is increasingly likely that the game may be delayed until late 2025 or even 2026 as a backup plan. Employees are worried about facing potential crunch time as the game enters its final stages of development, with some fearing a return to a toxic work culture.
The final year of GTA VI’s development is expected to be challenging and lengthy as Rockstar Games strives to meet its release goals. Fans will have to wait patiently as the company navigates through the hurdles to deliver a game that lives up to the high expectations set by its predecessor.
