GTA 6 May Be Delayed to 2026: Rockstar Employees Are Uncomfortable with the Return to Work Decision

Rockstar Games has asked its employees to be in the office five days a week, starting in April. This decision caused serious discomfort, especially among employees who were accustomed to working remotely during the pandemic. According to sources, Rockstar management is worried that the development of GTA 6 is falling behind and is forcing employees to return to the office to compensate for this situation. Concern about the game being released in 2026 instead of 2025 is stated as one of the main reasons behind this repressive policy of the company.

Although Rockstar aims for GTA 6 to be released in the spring of 2025, sources state that they are not sure whether this goal will be achieved and that it is more likely to be released in the fall of 2025. Delaying the game until 2026 is seen as a sort of “backup plan” if necessary.

Rockstar Games is known as a company that tends to wait until the last minute to resolve such delays in the development process. This means that the next GTA 6 trailer may not reflect any delays as long as the company continues to work on GTA VI.

Rockstar employees are concerned that the company may return to development trouble as GTA VI nears its final stages of development. These concerns are further compounded by the fact that employees are being forced to return to work against their will and potential delays could lead to further pressure. However, given the company’s desire to release GTA 6 in early 2025, it’s clear that the game’s final development process won’t be simple or quick.
