As it stands,Grand Theft Auto VIis expected to launch some time in fall of 2025.
However, with past entries being no stranger to various delays, it is no wonder that fans are scared that believing the 2025 release date may be a bit too optimistic.

He explained that delays are commonplace but can’t be announced until closer to the release date. This happened back with the release ofGTA IV.
“The decision to delay GTA 4 was made four months or so before the original release date,“says Vermeij.
“Any further and it’s hard to make the call. Rockstar is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish.”
He explained thatGTA IVsimply “wasn’t ready yet” so it “would have been a mess”.

However, withGTA VIway ahead in terms of technological advancement, fans hope this means there will be less problems closer to launch.
Surely.
According to Vermeij, Rockstar has no such worries.
“GTA 6will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about,” says Vermeij.

“They are not noing to release the game until they’re 100% happy with it. No matter what it says in the trailer.”
However, the outlook for PC owners is less bright.
“2027 for [PC owners] I’m afraid,“jokes Vermeij.

If Vermeij is correct, then we have just a few months left to see ifGrand Theft Auto VIwill receive another delay so fingers crossed it doesn’t.
