Is GTA 6 being delayed? An emergency meeting was held

Grand Theft Auto VI is eagerly awaited by millions of players, arguably one of the most anticipated games in history. However, with Rockstar Games' unsolicited emergency meeting request for its remote workers, GTA 6 may be missing its 2025 release window and being delayed to 2026.

Is GTA 6 being delayed? Rockstar schedules emergency meeting

The sequel to the open-world crime simulator was officially unveiled in December 2023 (after a major leak in 2022). Rockstar Games is working on a game that will take place in the fictional Vice City, which represents Miami, Florida.

The game is planned to be released for PS5 and Xbox Series in 2025 , and the internal target is currently early 2025. However, there is a growing possibility that the sequel will be delayed until the end of 2025 or even 2026.

In February, Rockstar Games required its employees to return to the office five days a week in early April . This sudden change surprised many employees and led some employees hired remotely to object.

While the request to return to the office was made for security and quality reasons, sources state that the development of GTA 6 has "fallen behind" and Rockstar management is worried about missing the game's 2025 release date.

Currently, Rockstar is targeting GTA 6's release in Spring 2025 . However, sources state that they are not sure whether its release will occur at the beginning of 2025 and that the autumn release of 2025 seems more likely and feasible.

This situation keeps the postponement of GTA 6 to 2026 on the table as an “emergency plan”. These developments show that the final development stages of GTA 6 will not be easy or fast, and the company continues to work for the 2025 target.

Rockstar's call to the office made the players who have been waiting for years worried about whether GTA 6 would be postponed or not. What do you think about this issue?
