GTA 6s release may slip to 2026 as development has reportedly fallen behind – The Daily Guardia
The much-anticipated release of GTA 6 is reportedly facing delays, raising concerns among fans and developers alike. According to sources, the development of the game is falling behind schedule, with a potential 2025 release window now in jeopardy.
Management at Rockstar, the game’s developer, has allegedly asked developers to return to the office full-time in an effort to speed up the development process and avoid a 2026 release date. While Rockstar is still aiming for a spring 2025 release, sources suggest that autumn 2025 is a more realistic timeline.
However, delaying the game until 2026 is considered a “fallback plan” or “emergency” option for the company. Despite repeated requests for comment, Rockstar has remained silent on the matter.
The decision to bring employees back to the office full-time has not been well-received among Rockstar staff, with many criticizing the move as reckless. Employees have been instructed to return to the office five days a week starting in April, citing security and productivity reasons.
The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has also voiced its criticism of Rockstar’s plans to withdraw remote working provisions for the majority of its staff. The union argues that the decision is unfair to employees who have adapted to remote work during the pandemic.
With the fate of GTA 6 hanging in the balance, fans are left wondering when they will finally get their hands on the highly-anticipated game. Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to develop.
