Earlier this month, Rockstar Games announced the postponement of "GTA6" and extended it to May 26, 2026.Players had to wait another year, but to appease the player, the developer quickly released a second game trailer.

The official reason for the extension is that the game needs to be polished to the level expected by studio players - these players have previously experienced detailed works such as "Red Dead Redemption 2".An industry insider discussing topics related to Rockstar Games revealed another reason for the necessity of a new release date, saying the news came from an anonymous source (probably from within Rockstar).

"What I also want to say is that this source has clearly told me that it is absolutely necessary to postpone it until 2026."

According to reports, if "GTA 6" is released as planned, the finished product will be "a much worse game."He also mentioned news from reporter Jason Schreier, saying that even Rockstar internal developers did not believe that the game could be launched this year.

It was also pointed out in the post (all based on source information) that if the delay is not delayed, developers will be forced to delete "cool content" to rush the construction period, which will inevitably lead to a significant decline in game quality, which is not the level of Rockstar Games that players expect.

The second trailer impressed, showing that the development team has not slacked off for the past year and a half – the film contains actual game clips and cutscenes recorded from within the game.Therefore, the extra year of polishing time will only make the game more perfect.

"GTA6" is currently only planned to be launched on PS5 and XSX/S platforms, and it is likely to launch a PC version in the future.
