Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, but a former Rockstar Games developer believes another delay cannot be ruled out.
Former Rockstar Games animator Mike York, who previously worked on GTA 5, said he "would not be shocked at all" if the studio decides to postpone the release again to polish the game further.
Speaking to Indy100 via covers.com, York said Rockstar has a history of prioritising quality over deadlines and could push the launch back if the game is not ready. GTA 6 Physical Edition: Rockstar Confirms Region Restrictions for Codes.
"They can delay it again. They can do whatever they want and people will wait," York said. He added that if Rockstar finds major bugs or feels a key mission still needs improvement close to launch, the company could postpone the release by another six months.
York noted that such a decision would not significantly hurt Rockstar, as anticipation for GTA 6 remains exceptionally high. GTA 6 Price, Characters and Platforms; Know All Before November 19.
