GTA 6 fans are concerned the game could be receiving a delay, after reading old posts from an ex-Rockstar employee.
Rockstar Games announced GTA 6 back in December 2023, kicking off the announcement with a trailer. Along with the trailer also came a release window: 2025.
Despite the hype behind it, we have yet to see a second trailer or even any screenshots.
will be the first Grand Theft Auto game since 2013.
And as we slowly approach a year and a half since the announcement, the question of whether the game could see a delay has been often repeated by fans.
Last year, ex-Rockstar employee Obbe Vermeij posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the decision to delay GTA 6 would only come at a critical time – around 4 months from the original release date.
"The decision to delay GTA IV was made 4 months or so before the original release date," Vermeij wrote. "Any further and it's hard to make the call. R* is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish.
"Also: GTA VI will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about. They are not going to release the game until they're 100% happy with it. No matter what it said in the trailer.

— Obbe Vermeij (@ObbeVermeij) September 14, 2024With it now approaching the end of April, and with no sign of Trailer 2, GTA 6 fans are concerned that Rockstar could be considering a delay.
"If they delay it better show something like gameplay or give us something," wrote on user on Reddit.
"I'm optimistic because I think the delay already happened and GTA was supposed to be spring 2025 game," another fan wrote.
"At the same time though, everything they've done so far has been completely different from their previous releases," another comment wrote.
"So it's not insane to think the delay trend might also change. However, of course, a delay is always a possibility."
If a GTA 6 delay does indeed happen, we'd probably hear about it soon. Considering Rockstar's dedication to making polished experiences, any kind of delay would be made for a good reason.
