Insiders: GTA VI Delayed Due to Developers Pursuit of Perfection, Not Staff Revisions or Leaks

Yesterday, the gaming community faced another significant blow as Grand Theft Auto VI has been officially postponed to November 2026. Many speculated that the delay could be linked to the recent layoffs at Rockstar Games, allegedly tied to leaks; however, industry insiders have dismissed these claims.

According to Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming, the delay in releasing GTA VI is attributed to the developers’ pursuit of perfection rather than recent personnel controversies.

This perspective is echoed by Jason Schreier, who noted that the layoffs were not the cause of the six-month postponement.
