Anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 may have to hold a little longer as new rumors suggest a potential delay in its release until 2026. Development issues have reportedly caused Rockstar Games to fall behind schedule, with sources claiming that the much-awaited title is lagging in its development roadmap. Rockstar has responded by requesting staff to return to full-time office work instead of working from home. The delay is said to be a contingency plan, with a compromise release in the fall of 2025 still being considered. Despite these rumors, GTA 6 is currently slated for a spring 2025 launch. In related news, Sony is rumored to be preparing for the game's release by launching the PlayStation 5 Pro in 2024, especially since GTA 6 will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms upon its initial release.

Will Grand Theft Auto 6 only be released on next-generation consoles?

Yes, Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently confirmed for release solely on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
