Expert Verified By

GTA 6 May Not Get Delayed After All!

Story Highlight
  • Because of Rockstar’s silence, it is believed that GTA 6 may be delayed to 2026.
  • A Rockstar developer suggests that the title is likely to be playable all the way through already.
  • Based on this information, the team is in the polishing phase and might meet its 2025 release target.

GTA 6 has been one of the year’s most anticipated releases, but recent reports have suggested that the title could be delayed to 2026. Following such reports, many fans have been worried about the release of GTA 6.

However, one former Rockstar developer has stated that GTA 6 is likely playable already.

Why it matters: Take-Two has recently claimed that the GTA 6 release will be extraordinary and worth the wait. Therefore, Rockstar appears to be spending extra time polishing the game.

During a recent interview with Kiwi Talkz, Mike York, a former Rockstar developer who worked as an animator on GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, discussed rumors surfacing on the internet.

The exact video has since been unlisted, but Mike believes GTA 6 is already playable and assumes many developers will be testing the game.

 I would assume that the game’s probably playable now, and a bunch of people are testing the whole thing all the way through.

He believes that Rockstar has yet to iron out the game’s bugs yet. Therefore, it seems safe to believe that the team is entirely dedicated to squashing the bugs in GTA 6.

Mike’s statement also provides hope that GTA 6 will be completed in time to arrive in 2025. Because Rockstar still has up to 10 months to fix bugs, there is hope left that the release will not be delayed.

Anyhow, fans are still waiting on official news from the studio. While many hoped to see another trailer before the end of last year, it is hard to say when we will hear more information about GTA 6.
