According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, before "GTA6" officially announced that it would be resented until 2026, R Star employees no longer believed that the game would be released in 2025.

After the official announcement was released, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said on social media that Rockstar insiders are no longer optimistic about the 2025 release window.Jason previously reported that it is unlikely to be released in 2025.

He posted on Bluesky: "No one of the Rockstar employees I have ever come into contact with has long felt that autumn 2025 is a reliable release time. The workload is too large, the time is not enough, and the management seems to really want to avoid high-pressure overtime work. The postponement of "GTA6" to 2026 seems to be a foregone conclusion, and a few months ago, it felt like a foregone conclusion."
