Rumour: GTA 6 Could Slip as Far Back as 2026 Due to Development Issues | Push Square

It's easy to forget that Diablo 4 has only been on the market for ten months. The game's had so many ups and downs that it feels like it's been hanging around for years, with the general consensus being that Blizzard has struggled to maintain the title's momentum through its seasonal updates. But with Season 4 — which is due to drop in May — the developer may finally be on the cusp of convincing hardcore players that the action RPG is in a good place.

Sand Land, the open world adaptation of Akira Toriyama's standalone manga, has real potential. And honestly, that surprised us, because we had this game (perhaps unfairly) tagged as another somewhat underwhelming Bandai Namco tie-in. But now, having played through several hours of the adventure ourselves, we think this could be one of the publisher's best projects in years.

It's a bit of a stretch, but a question in a newly released player survey suggests that Atlus and Vanillaware are at least trying to gauge interest in a potential sequel to Unicorn Overlord — the immaculate strategy RPG that launched just last month.

Rockstar has announced its GTA+ subscription service will be further bolstered later this year with the inclusion of L.A. Noire and Bully. The £4.99 / $5.99 per month membership is primarily for GTA Online players, handing them more cash and bonus items. However, with the PS4 version of the original Red Dead Redemption recently being put on the service, Rockstar is looking to expand its offerings even further.

Unicorn Overlord, the typically gorgeous Vanillaware strategy RPG that released in early March, has now sold over 500,000 copies. The news comes directly from publisher Atlus, via the game's new accolades trailer (which just so happens to include your favourite PlayStation website).

Good news, everyone — our favourite subscription service has recently received a brand new perk. That's right: GTA+ now includes Red Dead Redemption, John Marston's tragic Western tale, alongside the other games in the collection.

A reliable gaming insider has claimed that last week's reports of GTA 6 potentially being delayed into 2026 are "overblown" and that there's no indication of anything major having changed over at Rockstar Games.

GTA 6 is facing development troubles, leaving leadership “nervous” that the hotly anticipated open world crime-athon could be “falling behind’ expected schedules. That’s according to Kotaku, who were told by an anonymous source that studio heads are “worried” that the game could miss 2025 completely and not see release until 2026. Kotaku were told that the studio is still “aiming” for a Spring 2025 release date, but sources feel Fall of the same year is more plausible. However, the title could be delayed until 2026 as a “fallback plan.”

Upon its official announcement in December, Grand Theft Auto 6 was handed a 2025 launch window, but if a report recently published by Kotaku is to be believed, the game is in danger of failing to hit its intended launch window, as has often been the case with Rockstar Games titles in the past.

GTA 6's development has reportedly fallen so far behind, the eagerly-anticipated game may miss its 2025 release window.

The much-anticipated GTA 6 release may face a significant setback as reports indicate its development is falling behind schedule. Initial excitement sparked by the game's announcement in December 2023, with a targeted release for 2025, may now be overshadowed by concerns about meeting this deadline. The problem is reportedly stemming from GTA 6 development issues.

GTA 6’s release date could slip to 2026, it’s claimed.
