Let’s remember that since May GTA VI has been officially announced for next fall, but in mid-September billsyliamgta from GTA Base reported, citing “several developers in two studios,” that Rockstar had postponed the release to the first half of 2026.
Following this, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, citing interviewed Rockstar employees, did not confirm this information. At the same time, there have still been no official comments on the topic.
