Grand Theft Auto VI might be delayed until 2026 because the production is slowing down.
A report from Kotaku says that Rockstar Games, the company making GTA VI, told their remote workers to come back to the office.
They did this to keep making the game on schedule. It was supposed to come out early in 2025, but now it might be at the end of that year or even later, possibly in 2026.
Last month, Bloomberg said that Rockstar wanted its employees to work in the office five days a week starting in April. Some workers weren’t happy about this, but Rockstar said it was to make sure the game is secure and good quality.
But sources told Kotaku that GTA VI’s development is falling behind schedule. That’s maybe why they’re making everyone come back to the office. The game was supposed to come out in 2025, but now Rockstar might release it in 2026 instead, just in case.
In December, Rockstar released a trailer for GTA VI. It showed that the game will be set in Vice City and will have two main characters, one of them being a woman. This is a big change because all the previous games in the series had male main characters.
GTA VI will only be available on the newest game consoles, like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It won’t be out on PC when it first comes out.
