Tez2 claims that the original "aimed-always-changing-not-set-in-stone" deadline for GTA 6 is "holiday 2024." Unfortunately, things have changed in recent years and the studio could push back GTA 6 to early 2025. The good news is that Rockstar is implementing a "forced return to office" policy for its employees. Although controversial, it will give Rockstar more manpower available to work on the project, as per the insider.

As a result, Rockstar could officially reveal GTA 6 later this year, as per earlier leaks. But, Tez2 was quick to remind fans that this move could lead to the company "losing work talent", which could delay the game even further.

Furthermore, Tez2 notes that Rockstar shouldn't delay GTA 6 further than holiday 2025, let alone 2026, which is surprising given that it wasn't listed as part of Take-Two Interactive's plans through FY2025.
