Ex-Rockstar dev says GTA 6 release date delay of 6+ months possible despite pre-orders

An ex-Rockstar developer has suggested that GTA 6 could potentially face a delay of six months or more, even with pre-orders currently active. The statement raises questions about whether the current timeline will hold as development progresses toward release.

While the developer did not provide specific reasoning or confirm this as insider information, the comment reflects broader concerns about whether ambitious projects of this scale can maintain their announced schedules. Pre-orders remain available, indicating Rockstar’s official position on launch timing hasn’t changed.

For players counting down to the November 19, 2026 release date, this serves as a reminder that major game delays remain possible in the industry, regardless of how close to launch a title appears to be.
