It seems like there may be some roadblocks in the development process of GTA 6, as reports suggest that the highly-anticipated game may not be releasing until late 2025 at the earliest. This news comes after Rockstar Games recently ordered their developers to return to the office, which caused some backlash among employees. Initially, it was assumed that this was just a way for Rockstar to have better oversight of their team, but new information suggests that it may be due to concerns about the progress of GTA 6.
The reveal trailer for the game, which was released in December, received a lot of praise for its stunning visuals and attention to detail. However, it also raised some concerns about the amount of work that would be required to create an open-world game of this scale and complexity. Previous speculations pointed towards an early 2025 release date, with some rumors even suggesting a specific date in February. However, it now seems like a delay until 2026 is a real possibility.
According to the report, the development of GTA 6 is currently "falling behind," and while the original goal was to release the game in spring 2025, an autumn release is now more likely. In fact, a delay until 2026 is being considered as an "emergency" option. It's worth mentioning that Rockstar has only ever promised a release sometime in 2025, so there may not be an official announcement unless the game is pushed back a whole year. However, senior staff members are reportedly worried about the state of the game.
The report also mentions that the second trailer may not provide any indication of a delay, even if there is one. This is because Rockstar tends to make last-minute decisions on these matters. As of now, there is no information about when the second trailer may be released.
Another concern for developers is the potential for "crunch" if the game is behind schedule. This involves working longer hours and even on weekends, some of which may not be paid for. While this was a common practice in the industry a few years ago, there have been efforts to address and improve working conditions. Rockstar has been criticized in the past for their use of crunch, but reports suggest that they have been better in recent years.
It's unlikely that Rockstar, a notoriously secretive company, will comment on these reports publicly. However, if the next trailer still lists the release date as 2025, it may not necessarily be accurate. Fans can stay updated on any developments by following Rockstar's social media and signing up for their newsletter.
In other news, there have been rumors about a potential PS5 Pro console releasing this Christmas, with analysts claiming that it may include an upgrade for GTA 6. Additionally, Rockstar recently ended their work from home policy and it's been reported that GTA 6 is in its final stages of development. Fans have even been treated to a recreation of the game's trailer by a Hyundai rally team, which has received a lot of positive feedback.
