Rockstar insider claims the delay in releasing GTA 6 was 'absolutely necessary '

GTA 6 was initially slated to be released in the fall of 2025. However, that is not going to happen because Rockstar Games has now pushed the release window to May 2026. GTA 6 is going to be the eighth mainline entry in the long-hailed franchise and a highly awaited installment after 2013.So, there is no doubt that fans were clinging to the 2025 release date firmly. As a result, after the delay hit the title, a fair share of fans became hugely disappointed. However, a credible insider from the gaming industry has claimed this delay was ‘absolutely necessary.’It’s been more than a decade since we last got a mainline installment from the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Reports suggest after the huge success of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, Rockstar started developing GTA 6 immediately. That means GTA 6 is now 7 years in its development phase, and according to the present release date, Rockstar Games is taking eight years to release this game, which is massive. This is also quite obvious keeping in mind the stature of the title as GTA 6 is probably going to be the biggest release in the video game history. When fans got the first trailer in December 2023, they became extremely excited as the trailer revealed the release window of the game as well. However, Rockstar has recently revealed that the game is hit with a sudden delay, making fans disappointed. However, credible Rockstar insider GameRoll believes this delay was ‘absolutely necessary.’This is the same insider who correctly predicted the surnames of the two protagonists of the game, that too in April, when neither the release date nor the Trailer 2 was released. So, there shouldn’t be any doubt on GameRoll’s credibility. The insider also stated that GTA 6 would have been ‘significantly worse’ if it had been released in 2025. In order to meet the initial deadline, developers started cutting ‘a lot of cool stuff’ from the game, which would have been pretty unfortunate for the fans. However, fans now believe that as the game is pushed to a May 2026 release window, all the cut content will be brought back in the game as well.
