Rockstar confirms 2025 Release for GTA 6 Amid Delay Rumors

Rockstar Games has addressed recent rumors about a potential delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) to 2026. In a LinkedIn post on January 3, 2024, Georgio Jankowski, Rockstar’s Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, reassured fans that the highly anticipated title is still on track for its previously announced Fall 2025 release date.

This clarification came after speculation stirred by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who hinted at a possible delay due to Rockstar’s limited communication since the debut of the game’s first trailer on December 4, 2023. Fans took the studio’s silence as a sign of trouble, prompting widespread discussion about whether the timeline was realistic.

Community Reactions Remain Divided

While Jankowski’s statement eased concerns for many fans, others remain skeptical. The lack of detailed updates or gameplay footage following the initial trailer has left some questioning whether Rockstar can meet the 2025 deadline. The gaming community continues to demand further transparency, including insights into the game’s development progress.

High Expectations for Record Sales

Despite the ongoing debate, industry analysts project GTA 6 will break sales records upon release. Pre-orders alone are expected to generate over $1 billion in revenue, reflecting the massive anticipation for the game. As one of the most awaited titles in gaming history, GTA 6 is poised to dominate the market, regardless of lingering concerns about its release date.

Rockstar has yet to issue any formal announcements beyond Jankowski’s LinkedIn post, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more concrete updates. For now, the Fall 2025 release date remains unchanged, and the gaming world continues to watch for any new developments.
