Hopes of GTA VI launching in 2025 look set to be dashed after an industry insider claims the game could be delayed.
What’s worse, this delay is set to be a substantial one.
If what this insider claims is true, Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated GTA title will be delayed another year.

Rockstar's lack of content about GTA VI has been a source of contention between the publisher and its fans.
It’s led to some truly unique moments while we all wait for the game, such as GTA VI players exploring the map in the last place anyone would expect.
Let's hope we don't have only one GTA VI trailer to get us through this
There’s also been the awkward and rather bizarre moments when gamers have got roasted by the developers for their strange responses to the trailer.

An unusual journey for sure, but one we all hoped would lead to a 2025 launch date.
Sadly, this insider claims that it’s more likely to be 2026 before we get our hands on this elusive Rockstar game.
GTA Base staff writer and modder Liam shared this shocking news on Twitter.
Although you’d be wise to remain cautious, Liam has been known to be a reliable source having been one of the first sources to leak that a GTA VI trailer was coming.

This doesn’t automatically make him correct, however, it adds greater validity to his claims.
According to Liam, GTA VI has been “internally delayed”, with Rockstar now setting its sights on an “early to mid 2026 release window”.
“This information comes from multiple devs across two studios,” Liam added to further strengthen his claims.
Some of the responses, according to Liam, have been rather threatening from the fandom.

Thankfully, there are less aggressive comments as well.
One fan kept it short and sweet stating, “Idk man. I'm not believing anything until I see from Rockstar Games themselves.”
“This better not be true,” posted another.
Among the disappointment and doubt, there are those who favour delays if it means they receive a better experience.

“I'm completely fine with all the delays. I don't want a half-assed game like almost everything else we've received the past decade. The only thing is, they better f**king deliver,” shared Stratic.
Until Rockstar confirms these rumours, it would appear that 2025 is still the year of GTA VI. That said, don’t be too surprised if an announcement is made in the near future that changes that...
