Grand Theft Auto VI Release Potentially Delayed to October, Industry Insiders suggest
New york, NY – Mounting evidence from reliable sources within the gaming industry indicates that Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI may not launch in its currently slated May 2025 window. Industry insiders are now pointing towards an October 2025 release as a more realistic timeframe.
The initial announcement from Rockstar Games set expectations for a May 2025 launch, but concerns have grown due to the game’s enterprising scale and the developer’s history of prioritizing polish over strict deadlines. Tom henderson of Insider Gaming, a source with a proven track record for accurate leaks, stated plainly, “To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to be released in May. For some reason I can’t imagine GTA 6 is coming in May. You know, all the rumors and so on do not indicate it. For me personally I think we look at October.”
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has also previously cautioned fans to anticipate further delays, citing the game’s complexity, attention to detail, and a prior delay as factors increasing the likelihood of a shifted release date.
rockstar Games is known for delaying titles until they meet the company’s quality standards, a practice that has historically served the Grand Theft auto series well. While a delay would undoubtedly frustrate eager fans, the developer’s commitment to delivering a polished experience remains a key characteristic of the franchise.
