Insiders Confirm: GTA VI Delayed Due to Developer Perfectionism, Not Staff Issues

Yesterday, the gaming community faced another significant blow as Grand Theft Auto VI has officially been postponed until November 2026. Many quickly began to link the delay to the recent layoffs at Rockstar Games, allegedly connected to leaks; however, insiders are disputing these claims.

According to Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming, the delay of GTA VI stems from the developers’ pursuit of perfection rather than any recent staffing scandals.

This perspective is echoed by Jason Schreier, who emphasized that the layoffs were not the cause behind the six-month delay.
