Last week, it was claimed that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been hit with a delay, pushing it back into 2026. However, it was then reported that this isn't the case, as several Rockstar developers say they have no knowledge about any delay to the game.
Now, a former technical director at Rockstar has shared some insight into the matter, suggesting that it's too early to say whether GTA 6 has been hit with a delay or not. He highlights that GTA 4 was delayed just four months before its planned release date, meaning that Rockstar may not consider a GTA 6 delay until sometime in 2025.
As spotted by GamesRadar, developer Obbe Vermeij shared this insight on social media this weekend. While he highlights that he doesn't have any insider information on how GTA 6's development is faring, his experience with Rockstar does give us an idea of what we can expect with a hypothetical game delay.
In the replies, he also answers a few questions from fans. Here, he says that, at least based on his experience, Take-Two is unlikely to force a particular release date for GTA 6.
