Grand Theft Auto fans might need to wait longer for the highly anticipated GTA 6. While Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have stuck to a holiday 2025 release window, concerns are growing about a possible delay to 2026.
The delay rumors began when fans noticed how long it is taking for Rockstar to release a second trailer.
Now, respected industry insider Jason Schreier has added fuel to the fire. Schreier, known for accurate predictions, believes GTA 6 might not launch until 2026.
According to Schreier, the game is “huge and ambitious,” similar to previous GTA releases. However, Rockstar is under immense pressure to deliver a high-quality game.
Schreier also pointed out that the company has promised to avoid “crunch” — a term for extreme overtime often used to meet deadlines.
Rockstar’s leadership has reportedly vowed not to push employees too hard, which could explain the longer development time.
While Schreier’s prediction is not confirmed, his track record has fans preparing for a delay. Rockstar Games has not commented on the speculation, and it rarely addresses rumors.
For now, fans are left hoping the game will still meet its 2025 release window. Until then, the wait for more updates continues.
