Rockstar Games Lays Off Staff Amid GTA 6 Delay
Rockstar Games has reportedly laid off between 30 and 40 employees across its UK and Canadian studios.
The move comes as the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has been delayed to 2026, with a confirmed launch date of May 26, 2026.
The delay is intended to maintain the game's "high quality standards," according to the studio.
- Record-breaking trailer views have fueled enthusiasm for the game.
- The return of Vice City in a new open-world setting has also generated excitement.
Analysts have warned that ongoing development challenges and Rockstar's full return-to-office policy could increase the risk of further delays.
