Leading games industry journalist Jason Schreier has admitted he’d be “shocked” if GTA 6 actually hits its 2025 release target.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has recently made a statement that “GTA 6 will likely slip to 2026, as Rockstar is known for delaying their titles with game development becoming more complicated.”

As the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 slowly approaches, some publishers are reportedly fearful of competing with Rockstar's next big game.

Rockstar Games has reportedly asked GTA 6 writers to tone down jokes aimed at transgender people and other minorities.

A former GTA V dev shares his reasoning for Rockstar Games slow approach to revealing details about the highly-anticipated game, GTA 6.

Rockstar Games has largely remained silent on updates for GTA 6 which have sparked wild speculation and theories among fans. Since the release of the first trailer in December 2023, no new footage or official statements have emerged. The silence has only fueled rumors, as fans eagerly await a glimpse of what's next for the highly anticipated game.

According to Jason Schreier, companies in our industry will shape next year's release calendar of major games so that their releases are separated by as much time as possible from the GTA 6 launch.

During a recent investor call for Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two, Grand Theft Auto 6 was said to be on track for a Fall 2025 release. A new report suggests that rival gaming publishers are waiting to see if Rockstar possibly delays GTA 6 to 2026.
