Insiders reveal that ‘GTA6’ has already been completed, and the delay and layoffs are not related to it, but only to avoid the disaster of the first release

R Star recently announced that the long-awaited GTA6 has been postponed again and will not be released until November 19, 2026. Many players have linked the reason for the delay to previous layoffs. Many players even believe that the reduction in the number of development team members after R-Star’s layoffs is the most direct reason for the delay of GTA6.

Gamereadhub.com, a gaming media outlet, revealed that insiders have revealed that the GTA6 game itself has already been completed, and the delay and layoffs are not related.

Dexerto stated that an internal staff member of R Star named Kiwi Talkz mentioned that developers had already revealed that the game would be delayed before R Star laid off employees. Even without the information provided by these developers before, upon careful consideration, it can still be found that delays and layoffs are not related. After all, R Star now has over 6000 employees, and laying off 35 employees is unlikely to have an impact on the game’s release time.

Considering that many players are very concerned about the reasons for game delays, Kiwi Talkz has consulted many game developers, and the final result is that the game has been developed and is currently in the stage of full optimization. The reason for choosing to postpone is to ensure that all game systems can run normally and avoid a disaster like the first release of Cyberpunk 2077.

In fact, not only Kiwi Talkz, an insider, but also Insider Gaming journalist Tom Henderson mentioned in a recent podcast that the content production of GTA6 has been completed, and R Star’s current focus is on optimizing the game. Choosing to postpone is because R Star is pursuing perfection and wants the game to be released without any bugs.

Finally, I would like to remind all pure PC players that regardless of whether GTA6 is delayed or not, as PC players, we still have a long time to wait. Don’t be too concerned about whether it is delayed or when it will be delayed. After the official release of the game, just see when the PC version will be released.
