Has GTA 6 been delayed?

Delays these days aren’t uncommon, at least not for a game as massive as GTA 6. So, here is the latest status on GTA 6, detailing whether it has been delayed from its original tentative date of 2025.

GTA 6 is currently slated for a release sometime in the first half of 2025, and given how anticipated Rockstar’s upcoming open-world epic is, players are going wild all the time with their speculation just to get a hint at when we’ll next see the title in action. 

But all that anticipation may continue a little longer if GTA 6 is pushed further. Here is what the rumors and official news speak about a potential delay. 

Is GTA 6 delayed?

No, Rockstar have not hinted at any potential delay for GTA 6, which means the title is currently scheduled for Q1 of 2025.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that GTA 6 had entered the final stages of development and that Rockstar Games’ staff were asked to “return to the office five days a week starting in April.”

GTA 6 was first announced as the 2025 title, and later Take-Two hinted at a Q1 2025 release in their investor call. However, a recent report by Kotaku claims that there is a possibility that the title may slip to either late 2025 or 2026. 

According Kotaku, Rockstar is aiming for a spring 2025 release date, with an early 2025 release as a goal. They also alleged that there is uncertainty about the schedule within Rockstar and that it could get pushed to fall 2025, with even a 2026 release on the cards as a “fallback plan” or “emergency” plan. 

The report from Kotaku is the only major rumor hinting at a possible delay. Of course, given how Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed multiple times and delays have become common industry-wide, it wouldn’t really be a surprise if GTA 6 is delayed. 

We’ll update you whenever there are more rumors or Rockstar confirms any delay. Until then, for more on upcoming blockbusters, check out:
