The highly-anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 may face a delay, potentially pushing the launch to 2026 due to reported development setbacks. Initially, Rockstar Games had hinted at a 2025 release window when the first trailer was unveiled in December 2023, with speculations pointing towards an 'early 2025' target. However, recent reports from Kotaku suggest that the game's development is lagging behind schedule, indicating a probable release in late 2025 or even a fallback to 2026.
Rockstar Games recently mandated a return to the office for its employees on a full-time basis, a decision that has been met with criticism. While the move is purportedly aimed at enhancing productivity and security, it has raised questions about potential implications on the game's development timeline.
