Anticipation for the release of GTA 6 is high, but new evidence suggests players may have to wait even longer. Jason Schreier, a renowned gaming industry journalist, questioned the October 2025 release date. In a recent statement, Schreier said he would be "shocked" if Rockstar Games , the title's developer, managed to meet the deadline.

Rockstar Games is known for pushing deadlines beyond expectations. Schreier noted that the studio frequently postpones releases to ensure the final quality of its products. This was the case with Red Dead Redemption 2 , and the same could happen with GTA 6. Although development is progressing, sources say Rockstar's perfectionism could mean the planned release date changes.
Furthermore, the lack of new trailers or concrete information about the game fuels speculation. So far, fans have only had a single trailer released last year, insufficient to predict the project's true status.
Unprecedented expectations for GTA 6
The sequel to Grand Theft Auto V, which has sold over 205 million copies, promises to be the biggest launch in video game history. The continued success of GTA Online and the high expectations created by Red Dead Redemption 2 put GTA 6 under unprecedented pressure.
According to analysts, the release date was recently adjusted from spring to fall 2025, indicating that Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, is already considering the possibility of delays.
While schedule flexibility is seen as necessary to maintain Rockstar's high standards, fan anticipation continues to grow. The company, which maintains relevance with regular GTA Online updates, may be strategically delaying information to manage expectations and avoid disappointment.
While waiting for a new trailer or additional details, players speculate about the game's future. If the release does indeed move to 2026, Rockstar will have to justify the wait with a flawless title. The unfolding of the coming months will be decisive, but one thing is certain: GTA 6 promises to be a milestone in electronic gaming, regardless of its release date.
