Overview

• The New York–based Online Services posting seeks a lead data engineer to scale backend platforms for Grand Theft Auto 6’s rollout.
• The ad originally called the release “the largest game launch in history” before that phrasing was edited out, with archived versions confirming the quote.
• The listing refers to the game as “GTA 6,” a notable shift from Rockstar’s usual “Grand Theft Auto VI” wording.
• Rockstar still targets May 26, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it has not confirmed whether an online mode will be available at launch.
• Analyst forecasts point to huge sales while commentary questions the bold claim, and an insider’s talk of a slip to late 2026 remains unconfirmed.
