Grand Theft Auto 6, one of the highly anticipated upcoming titles from Rockstar Games, may face a release delay according to insiders. Initially slated for spring 2025, sources reveal that the game's launch might be pushed back to fall 2025 or even 2026. Development challenges are cited as the main reason for the potential postponement. Rockstar leadership is keen on a spring release; however, they also regard fall 2025 as a plausible alternative, with 2026 as a last-resort option. A mandate for remote employees to return to the office hints at efforts to mitigate delays. The first official trailer of GTA 6 set a YouTube record in December 2023, and although details about the game are under wraps, it is expected to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC release likely later on. Fans may be assured that if a delay occurs, it would contribute to meeting the high expectations set for the game.

When is Grand Theft Auto 6 expected to be released? Grand Theft Auto 6 was initially expected to be released in spring 2025, but rumors suggest it could be delayed until fall 2025 or even 2026.

Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 is the next installment in the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto series developed by Rockstar Games. The franchise is known for its open-world gameplay, satirical take on American culture, and freedom of action, allowing players to explore vast cities and engage in numerous activities beyond the main story missions. Rockstar has a history of developing deep, story-driven experiences with substantial post-launch support. While details about GTA 6 are scarce, it is likely to continue the tradition with significant graphical and gameplay improvements, utilizing the advanced capabilities of next-gen consoles.

Seems like Grand Theft Auto 6 might be taking a bit longer to hit the streets than we expected. Rockstar's aiming for a spring 2025 release, but a fall 2025 or even 2026 launch isn't off the table. Hopefully, the wait means they're cooking up something truly epic for us
