Overview
- The new date applies to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and Rockstar has not announced a PC window, with analysts suggesting a release could slip to late 2027 or 2028.
- Multiple reporters say the game is content complete and that the extra months are focused on polishing and bug fixes rather than adding major content.
- Insider estimates put the six‑month slip at roughly $60 million in added development costs, or about $10 million per month.
- Rockstar confirmed it terminated around 30–40 employees for alleged sharing of confidential material, while labor organizers accuse the company of union‑busting, a claim Rockstar denies.
- Take‑Two shares fell about 10% on the delay news, yet analysts still project very large first‑year revenue for GTA VI.
