Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated GTA 6 may not hit its expected 2025 release date, according to a respected industry veteran.

Fans of the series are already buzzing with mixed reactions to the news.

Jason Schreier’s Thoughts on GTA 6’s Release

Jason Schreier, a well-known journalist from Bloomberg, recently shared his thoughts on the potential release date of GTA 6 during an episode of the Kinda Funny Games podcast.

Speaking with host Tim Gettys, Schreier was asked about Rockstar’s aim to launch the game in 2025.

Schreier responded, “I would be shocked if it actually made it next year. I think it will probably slip again because Rockstar games always slip. But as of right now, Take-Two says they’re still on track. Let’s see if that’s the case in a few months.”

It’s important to note that Schreier wasn’t claiming to have insider information or saying the game will definitely be delayed.

Instead, his comments were based on Rockstar’s history of pushing back release dates.

Fans React: The GTA 6 Community Speaks Out

As expected, Schreier’s remarks quickly grabbed the attention of the GTA 6 community.

On the popular subreddit r/GTA6, fans wasted no time sharing their opinions.

One thread titled, “Jason Schreier is wrong about GTA VI being delayed,” sparked heated discussions.

A user, Consistent-Ad-7455, argued: “His reasoning relies on Rockstar’s history of delays, but this ignores some key differences with GTA VI. Unlike Red Dead Redemption 2, which faced several external delays, GTA VI has been developed internally until it reached a more confident stage. Plus, Take-Two’s 2025 release target shows Rockstar’s increased confidence this time around.”

The post highlights how some fans believe the development of GTA 6 is in a better position than previous Rockstar titles, making a 2025 release more realistic.

The Bigger Picture

While Schreier’s comments stirred up the fanbase, it’s essential to remember his words were speculative.

He acknowledged during the podcast that nothing is set in stone, and any updates about the release date will ultimately come from Rockstar themselves.

For now, the 2025 release target remains in place, but as Schreier pointed out, only time will tell if Rockstar can stick to its timeline.

Until then, fans can keep speculating—and debating—about when they’ll finally get their hands on GTA 6.
