The excitement for GTA 6 is at an all-time high, but fans seem to agree on one thing, they’re not in a rush for Rockstar Games to release it.

Instead, they want the developers to take all the time they need to deliver a polished masterpiece.

There’s no denying that when Grand Theft Auto 6 finally arrives, it’s going to dominate conversations everywhere, not just in gaming but across all entertainment.

GTA 5 has already cemented its place as one of the best-selling games of all time, and expectations for GTA 6 are even higher.

Rockstar is aiming to raise the bar once again.

A Long Road of Anticipation

Even before its official announcement, fans and gaming media couldn’t stop speculating about GTA 6, especially after those infamous leaks that spread like wildfire.

The buzz reached a new level when Rockstar dropped the game’s first trailer.

Within no time, the trailer exploded on social media and YouTube, where it’s currently sitting at a jaw-dropping 225 million views—and counting.

Accompanying the trailer, Rockstar revealed a tentative release window of 2025, later narrowed down to the fall of that year.

Of course, that’s assuming there are no delays, but as gamers know, delays are common in the industry, particularly with Rockstar’s titles.

Delays Aren’t Always Bad

When it comes to release delays, most fans seem to understand that quality should come first.

After all, nobody wants a repeat of the rough launch that Cyberpunk 2077 experienced.

Taking extra time can ensure the game meets the high standards players expect.

One Reddit user, Total-Sand-7190, even raised the question: “Does anyone think Rockstar Games might delay GTA 6 the way it did with Red Dead Redemption 2?”

The community chimed in with support:

“I don’t mind at all. Rockstar knows this is the most anticipated game of all time, and if it needs a little more time, then it probably needs a little more time. I’m excited regardless,” said doyouhaveballs.

“Hopefully, delays can only be a good thing in the gaming industry,” added TRIPOWER93.

“I’m 100% sure it will delay,” predicted YourLocalMoroccan.

“Rockstar does it to all its games and it always will. They are perfectionists,” noted cyberbagtv.

What Platforms Will GTA 6 Be On?

When it launches, GTA 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

While a PC version hasn’t been officially announced yet, it’s almost guaranteed to follow, given Rockstar’s history of eventually bringing its games to PC.

Fans might need to be patient, but one thing’s for sure—when GTA 6 finally hits the shelves, it’s going to be worth the wait.

Quality takes time, and Rockstar’s track record shows they don’t settle for anything less than perfection.

What’s your take on the potential delays?

Would you rather wait longer for a polished game, or do you think Rockstar should stick to its current timeline?
