Rockstar said in his statement that GTA 6 is going to be his biggest release ever and he does not want incomplete product to come in the market in a hurry. He also said that the hopes of fans about the GTA series cannot take them lightly, so it will take them a little more time to get ready completely.
After this delay, the shares of Tug-Two Interactive (which are Rockstar’s parent company) saw a decline of about 7%, which is clear that the industry also had a keen eye on this launch. Market analysts believe that the delay of GTA 6 is also a relief for the rest of the game developers, now they will be able to plan their top titles away from the release window of GTA.
The first trailer of GTA 6 came in December 2023 and created panic on the internet as soon as it was released. But since then there was no big update about the game, due to which there was constant restlessness among the fans. Now that Rockstar has announced the new release date, it is clear that the game will not be launched in 2025 and the fans will have to wait at least one more year.
Rockstar says that he wants to make this game “benchmark” and therefore no one will compromise, nor on gameplay, nor on graphics nor on overall experience.
Now everyone’s eyes will be on whether GTA 6 in 2026 will really meet all expectations or not. At the moment, the confusion about the launch date of the game is over, but the wait is longer.
