The company “can” release it whenever it wants.
It’s quite common for games to rush development in order to meet a release date. However, according to former Rockstar developer Obb Vermeij, this practice should not affect GTA 6 in any way. This is because it is such an important game that its creators do not need to worry too much about the release date, which Vermeij commented as follows: “GTA 6 will be sold for more than 10 years, so don’t worry about competition.”
In reality, it should have been a much more complex creation than, for example, GTA 4, which Vermeil worked on. According to him, the release date will be published only when the studio is 100% sure of the status of its work. Due to the lack of real competition, it could be almost “any time”. However, according to a former developer, the release could happen as early as 2025–2026. Theoretically, the game should not be released on PC until 2027, which cannot be completely ruled out due to the desire to release it in the best possible condition. However, as Cyberpunk 2077 shows, sometimes it’s better to delay than to release an unfinished work.
