The development of Gran Theft Auto 6, better known as GTA 6, is more than confirmed at this point. The simple fact that a new installment in the Rockstar video game saga is said to be on the way is something that in itself raises a lot of expectations, especially when we see that GTA V is still a very popular game, that it sells very well and that it has been recycled , until you get enough.

GTA 6 is still relatively early in its development, so the wait seems to be long for now, though perhaps not too long, as the latest leaker rumors suggest that It should be launched on the market in Christmas 2024. That’s more or less in line with what Microsoft said last November, although the Redmond giant’s data pointed to a slightly earlier date.

As we already said, GTA 6 is in a fairly early stage of its development, so the leaker does not rule out that there are delays and the game will launch in 2025. If confirmed, it would mean that development still has a long way to go, so more enthusiastic users will have to be patient.

In addition to a possible release date, the leaker explained some of the alleged work environment situation at Rockstar. Apparently following in the footsteps of others such as Activision-Blizzard, the company applied a forced return to offices policy to restore the context before the pandemic crisis. The fact that most of the workforce is physically present in the offices would increase the company’s expectations for the release of GTA 6 in 2024.

On the other hand, Rockstar is apparently suffering from a loss of talent that could lead to further delays in development and the future release of GTA 6, but the leaker does not believe that such delays will arrive until Christmas 2025 or early 2026, so it is believed that the intention is to release the game during the course of 2024 at worst. On the other hand, the delays themselves would could have motivated the release of parts of the game through DLC to more or less meet the deadlines.

Taking into account that this information does not come from an official source, it seems that the situation surrounding the development of GTA 6 could be chaotic, which of course has a high chance of negatively affecting the final result of the product. Added to this is the more than wild anticipation of a title that belongs to a saga that has reached legendary status in the video game industry.
