Senior Rockstar Games Executive Addresses GTA 6 Delay Rumors

In recent developments surrounding the highly anticipated game GTA 6, a clash of opinions has emerged from insiders at Rockstar Games. While some are predicting a delay until 2026, a senior employee has confidently asserted that the game remains on course for a 2025 release.

Since the announcement of its scheduled release for Fall 2025 and the unveiling of the first official trailer on December 4, 2023, Rockstar has maintained a low profile regarding GTA 6. This lack of information has left fans increasingly anxious, amplifying frustration and rampant speculation around the game’s progress.

Contradicting Predictions on Release Date

Concerns regarding a potential delay gained traction when Bloomberg‘s Jason Schreier speculated that the game might be postponed. He commented, “I expect that it will slip to 2026.” Yet, shortly thereafter, Georgio Jankowski, the Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Rockstar, hinted differently, suggesting that the timeline for this eagerly awaited title is solid.

Positive Signals from Rockstar

On January 3, 2024, Jankowski took to LinkedIn with a New Year announcement expressing optimism about GTA 6’s release in 2025. He stated, “With 2025 kicking off and shaping up to be one of the most exciting years ahead here at Rockstar, it couldn’t be a better time to have a look at our open positions and consider applying.” His message also included details on job openings across the company, alongside a classic GTA 6 promotional image reading: “Coming 2025.”

Community Reactions and Speculations

The LinkedIn post quickly went viral on Twitter, stirring a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans. Many expressed enthusiasm, with comments like, “GTA 6 NOT GETTING DELAYED WE WON” and “This is the news we needed.” Conversely, some users were less optimistic. One fan remarked, “If this is Rockstar’s idea of promotion or an update, it’s truly lacking and disappointing,” while another suggested, “It’s not like we’re far from the release date, and delays are still possible. Let’s wait and see.”

As it stands, Rockstar Games has officially denied any delays regarding GTA 6, labeling the circulating reports as speculative rumors. Recent projections hint that the game could break revenue records, with expectations of over $1 billion from pre-orders alone and more than $3 billion in sales within its first year.
