GTA 6 Delay Could Have Major Impact on Game Companies

The gaming industry braces for potential fallout from a GTA 6 delay.

GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently slated for a 2026 release, with many assuming it will launch in October 2025. The high hopes around this title are so intense that no other publisher or developer wants to compete against it. However, the uncertainty surrounding its official launch date has left several companies anxious and waiting to adjust their schedules accordingly.

During an interview at GDC, Ben Foster, a senior consultant at Newzoo, made alarming comments regarding the consequences of a potential delay for GTA 6. He noted that such a setback could significantly negatively impact some companies.

‘What Do You Do?’

In his conversation with PC Gamer, Foster provided insights into the precarious position many game developers find themselves in:

If you’re a game company who’s holding its breath waiting for GTA 6 to get out, and then it gets delayed by three, four, five, six months, what do you do?

You either have to be able to launch into that big black hole that’s been left open now, or you have to extend your run rate by an additional six months – I’m certain some companies are going to tank because of that, right?

The general sentiment around GTA 6 remains optimistic regarding its release timeframe; expectations suggest that it’s still set for October. Foster’s remarks echo concerns already seen within the industry, where developers have begun adjusting their plans based on the looming presence of Grand Theft Auto 6.

If you’re among those publishers awaiting the green light and face delays with GTA 6, you’d need to manage your timeline carefully while ensuring your financial stability during uncertain times.

Foster made a noteworthy point about the game’s overall impact: while he believes it may draw investors back to the gaming market, it won’t universally boost every company’s fortunes.

This raises an interesting question for players: are you still expecting any delays with GTA 6? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
