If this strategy doesn’t work, Rockstar seems ready to push the game back even further. A DLC would bring back the removed portions of GTA 6 possibly a year later, eventually helping keep the game fresh. The game could, therefore, launch without certain content that Rockstar doesn’t consider to be essential for the early success of the game. This means Grand Theft Auto 6 could lose some content in the favor of a DLC that would be released at a later time. Rockstar still wants to launch the next GTA in the holiday season of 2024, so one approach it’s looking into is cutting some content from the game.
As such, the work on GTA 6 could make progress slower than anticipated, especially if some developers end up leaving the company. This isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, so the return to the office has been received with much criticism. The company is facing several challenges, including the way its dev teams work on the game.Īfter requiring its teams to work remotely, Rockstar now needs developers to return to the office for what it believes could be increased productivity. Tez2 says Rockstar is now aiming to release GTA 6 in late 2024. No further specifics were shared on the release timing, but people familiar with the matter previously said GTA 6 would launch in 2025. The development of the next Grand Theft Auto version is already underway, and Rockstar confirmed the historic 2022 leak did not impact the work on the game. This is why the company could adopt a different strategy to complete GTA 6 on time. The 2024 launch has been on the table for several years, but Rockstar still isn’t sure it can meet the target. Leaker Tez2, who has a good track on GTA scoops, says the release could take place in the holiday season of 2024.
