- Insider Jason Schreier has revealed that GTA 6 is still not content complete and could be delayed further.
- Schreier said that no one inside Rockstar is 100% sure about the November release date, but considers it more realistic than before.
- Take-Two will delay the game if it isn’t perfect instead of delivering a subpar product.
After numerous delays and over a decade of waiting, GTA 6 is finally set to release in November this year. The game has been rumored to be content complete for a while now, according to insiders, but Take-Two is letting Rockstar take its sweet time to avoid a Cyberpunk 2077 situation at launch.
Now, according to a new leak, GTA 6 could require more time to polish, meaning another delay into 2027 is not entirely impossible for the Rockstar title.
Why This Matters: GTA 6 is expected to give the entire gaming industry a major push, so another delay is not ideal for any party involved.
While talking on the Ringer-Verse Button Mash Podcast, insider Jason Schreier stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if GTA 6 gets delayed again, as the game is still unfinished. According to his sources, developers are still adding content to the game and deciding which missions and levels will make the final cut.
The last I heard it was still not content complete. That is to say that people were still finishing things up, still finalising levels and missions.
Schreier also stated that this isn’t unusual for Rockstar, as the studio had a similar release cycle for Red Dead Redemption 2, announcing it for Fall 2017 but then releasing it a year later. However, the insider claimed that no one at Rockstar is 100% sure about meeting the November release date.
Stakes are especially high for Take-Two as a broken and buggy GTA 6 can tank the company; hence, letting the release date slip a little to deliver a perfect game is a risk the company is willing to take, according to Schreier.
The insider also highlighted the importance of GTA 6 for PlayStation 5, saying that Sony is planning its entire calendar year around the game thanks to the lack of a PC release. Even though Jason Schreier thinks sales on Xbox will be a “non-factor,” the American company is also increasing console production in anticipation of GTA 6.
