Several Rockstar Games developers apparently know nothing of any internal plans to push back the release date.
Despite the recent flood of rumors and alleged leaks surrounding Rockstar Games' upcoming blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 6, it appears that fears of a delay to 2026 can be put to rest.
The GTA community was rife with disappointment and frustration over the weekend as reports surfaced indicating a significant pushback in the game's release.
However, Jason Schreier, a journalist with a proven track record of delivering accurate information about the gaming industry, has stepped in to quell these concerns.

According to Schreier, who spoke with six Rockstar Games developers, none of them have heard anything about a delay.
While this is excellent news for fans eagerly awaiting their next dose of Grand Theft Auto, it's important to note that Schreier doesn't completely rule out the possibility of a future delay. With a project as ambitious as GTA 6, which is expected to set new creative benchmarks, development can be unpredictable.
Nevertheless, the lack of any internal announcement at Rockstar suggests the recent online rumors were unfounded. A delay of this magnitude would likely be communicated to the development team before leaking to the public.
It's also worth considering the potential financial implications of a delay for Rockstar Games, especially given the company's confident projections for the fiscal years 2025 and 2026. As GTA 6 is expected to be a significant revenue driver, any setback could impact the company's bottom line.
For now, it appears that GTA 6 remains on track for its anticipated Fall 2025 release window.
As always, we'll keep you updated on any further developments in this highly anticipated title's journey to release.
