There are constant questions over whether GTA 6 will be delayed, but one former Rockstar dev thinks any announcement of a delay won’t come until next year.
Earlier this month, some rumours started to spread that GTA 6 had been delayed, but Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier (known for his strong reputation when it comes to insider information) says that that doesn’t seem to be the case after speaking with six employees at Rockstar – though he did also make it clear that these devs haven’t been informed of a delay, meaning one could still be coming, but right now it doesn’t seem to be happening. Of course, with all this talk of delays, it’s still on the minds of a lot of players eager to jump into what is probably the most anticipated sequel of the decade.
In turn, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked on several GTA titles including GTA 3, 4, Vice City, and San Andreas, offered his perspective on when news of a delay might come. “The decision to delay GTA 4 was made 4 months or so before the original release date,” Vermeij explains of the beloved fourth game in the series. “Any further and it’s hard to make the call. [Rockstar] is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish.”
