Obbe Vermeij, former technical director at Rockstar Games, recently addressed the rumor about the delay of GTA 6's release date. He also believes that the game will sell for over a decade and will face no significant competition during that time.
«The decision to delay gtaIV was made 4 months or so before the original release date. Any further and it's hard to make the call. R* is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish. Also: GtaVI will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about. They are not going to release the game until they're 100% happy with it. No matter what it said in the trailer. I have no inside info. Didn't talk to anyone», — stated Obbe Vermeij. Previously, Obbe Vermeij praised a fan-made port of GTA 3 for the Sega Dreamcast. As for GTA 6, the rumor about the game being delayed to 2026 has already been debunked by reputable insider and journalist Jason Schreier.
