This time, the gaming forums are filled with rumours which state that GTA 6, one of the most highly anticipated games, might be pushed backstage. A report from GTABase’s @billsyliamgta, which has had more than 4 million views, the latest suggests the game will be released in the first or second quarter of 2026 instead of in the Fall 2025 as earlier expected. The report also have the possibility that the PC version may be launched after 12-18 months of delay.
But the authenticity of this report has been challenged by various experts in this industry. Rockstar Universe, which in the past has published leaks that include GTA 6 story, says its insiders are unaware of such a situation. Professional journalist, one of the most credible and reliable people of the game journalism field namely Jason Schreier was asked about the rumor, and he, unfortunately, did not provide any comment and later he said that six employees of Rockstar did not know about any such delay.
Rockstar’s Official Stance and Past Delays
However, the rumors about the GTA 6 delay are still mere speculations since there’s still no official come from Rockstar Games yet. Interviewed on CNBC, Take Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick said that they have update the timing which they are very confident of for the Fall 2025 release, but then it is so true that Rockstar has a way of delaying some of its games and therefore, fans expected the same for such a title game.
The suggestion of a delay does make a certain amount of sense given just how large and significant a title like GTA 6 is, but where information like this is yet to be officially confirmed, it’s always important to treat it with a good degree of scepticism. Most gamers are always waiting for any official statement from Rockstar concerning the progress of the game development and the time line that it is expected to be out in the market. Until then fans will have to read through the official communications and wait for more trusted opinions from peers in the industry.
