    Insider makes predictions about the release of GTA 6

    What does he say about the release of GTA 6? Jason Schreier expects the release of GTA 6 to be postponed and that the long-awaited action game from Rockstar Games will not appear until 2026.

    Although the publisher Take-Two Interactive says that the game is still on track for release planned for 2025, Schreier adds that “companies say a lot of things.” The insider knows how great the pressure is behind the ambitious GTA 6 to deliver a great game.

    In addition, Schreier says, Rockstar Games “swore” not to force employees to work extreme overtime in the final months of development. Instead of pushing the release within the time frame, we could expect a postponement.

    The development studio had to endure heavy criticism around the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. At the time, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser boasted that some employees would work 100 hours a week several times a year so that the Wild West epic would be released on time.

    It wasn’t until September 2024 that Schreier wrote that Rockstar Games employees told him that they had not heard of a postponement of GTA 6. At the time, there were many rumors claiming that GTA 6 wasn’t coming until 2026.

    Already in September, however, Schreier emphasized that this all-clear was probably only valid based on the current level of development and that it could not be ruled out that there could still be shifts in the future.
