GTA 6 could reportedly be delayed to 2026 as development \u201cfalls behind\u201d Take-Two InteractiveNew reports claim that Rockstar still targets a 2025 launch for GTA 6, but a delay is on the table with development \u201cfalling behind.\u201d GTA 6 currently boasts a nebulous 2025 release, as confirmed at the end of its first trailer. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have yet to narrow down the launch window, though. Still, recent reports lifted the veil on the project\u2019s final stretch, with Bloomberg reporting in February that Rockstar was mandating developers return to office in April. Now another report sheds light on why the studio may be adamant about employees working on-site. Rockstar staffers speaking under the condition of anonymity to Aftermath recently said many developers feel blindsided by the return-to-office mandate. Meanwhile, others worry Rockstar will fall back into unhealthy crunch practices. Kotaku spoke to sources who divulged that quality and security concerns are driving the decision. The sources further claimed development on GTA 6 is \u201cfalling behind,\u201d leaving Rockstar leads to worry that they\u2019ll have no choice but to delay the eagerly-anticipated game. For now, the next GTA entry still targets a 2025 launch window, with leadership aiming to release it early in the year. But, apparently, Kotaku\u2019s sources believe a fall 2025 rollout is much more feasible. A delay to 2026 isn\u2019t out of the question, however; such a possibility currently constitutes a \u201cfallback plan\u201d or an \u201cemergency\u201d course of action if absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
