Is GTA 6 Facing a Delay? Here’s What We Know So Far

Reports are circulating that Grand Theft Auto 6 might not arrive as soon as many had hoped. According to multiple sources, including a new claim from an insider known as Billy, Rockstar Games has internally delayed the release of GTA 6. The rumor suggests that the highly anticipated title may not hit shelves until 2026, but it’s important to note that nothing has been officially confirmed by Rockstar at this stage.

The source of this information is said to come from multiple developers across two studios, which adds some weight to the rumor, but again, without official word from Rockstar, it’s all still speculation.

A Controversial Offer for Music Rights

In related news, there’s been some controversy over music rights for GTA 6. A band recently claimed that they were offered $7,500 by Rockstar to have their song featured in the game, but without any future royalties. The band turned down the offer, pointing out that GTA V made $8.6 billion and suggesting the payment was far too low for the exposure.

Many have criticized the band for what they see as a missed opportunity, while others support their decision, arguing that the offer wasn’t fair given the success of previous games in the series.

What About the PlayStation 5 Pro?

On another front, there are reports that Sony may have secured advertising rights for GTA 6, with speculation suggesting that the game could be prominently featured in upcoming marketing for the PlayStation 5 Pro. This is still up in the air, but the connection between Sony and Rockstar seems strong, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see GTA 6 as a major selling point for the new console.

While all of this is still rumor and conjecture, one thing is clear: the anticipation for GTA 6 is at an all-time high, and any new information, confirmed or not, is sure to keep fans talking.
