This update followed reporting from Scheirer stating that GTA 6 had missed multiple deadlines.?

Speculating the release date, fans continue to their painstaking wait posts, one posted on X (formerly called Twitter), “GTA 6 is either going to get delayed to 2026 or release in 2025 but not fully baked."

While another noted, “Nothing to do with trailer 2, but it just seems realistic for them to say fall 2025 but actually have a real date of late 2025 or early 2026."

Ex-developer of GTA 6 reveals the truth?

Amid the speculations by the fans, a new update has come forward through the former GTA developer Obbe Vermeij, who has already stated that the team wouldn't know until around May 2025 if it needed a delay.?
