Former dev warns GTA 6 could face delays as late as ‘months out’

Rumors recently surfaced that Grand Theft Auto 6 could be pushed back as far as 2026. But now, a former Rockstar Games lead has further fueled fears that the next GTA installment might need a lot more time and preparation before it becomes available to the general public. 

GTA 6 was officially announced in December 2023 and was initially scheduled to be released in late 2025 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. But that estimate may no longer be entirely accurate—or even realistic—according to a Rockstar insider. Obbe Vermeij, the former Rockstar North technical director, reminded fans on Twitter/X that the decision to delay GTA 4 came just four months before the intended release date. “Any further and it’s hard to make the call,” he said. Think of Rockstar’s decision as a stressful quick time event—perform the action too soon or too late, and it’s lights-out for the character. This comes after GTA 4 publisher Take-Two expressed confidence that there would be no delays to the game’s release.
