As cross-platform becomes a well-sought feature in any video games with an online environment, many are wondering if GTA 6 will feature cross-platform gaming between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Kotaku had earlier mentioned that GTA 6's release date might slip into 2026. However, that news has since then been refuted by Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier. While Henderson confirmed that none of his undisclosed sources believe the game will be delayed, Jason spoke about the same in his Game On newsletter. Schreier mentions that it's impossible to tell what will happen in 21 months.
From a recent report from Kotaku, it seems Rockstar Games could delay the release of GTA 6 to the late 2025 or early 2026. The report further says, employees are urged to get back to office for security and quality reasons. But the main reason behind the company asking the employees is because of the production of the game "falling behind", according to the anonymous source.
Rockstar Games has kept its mouth shut enough to brew the predictions and hype grow for GTA 6. Earlier, in a Digital Foundry podcast, the founder claimed GTA 6 will not have a 60 FPS mode on the PS5 Pro, given Rockstar Games not launching GTA on more than 30 FPS before and the PS5 Pro not having a better CPU. Although, in a deleted reply, Senior Artist at Rockstar North has claimed that they are confident about a 60 FPS mode.

Earlier, Jason Schreier revealed GTA 6 will release early 2025 but did not disclose any timeline. Another user on X suggests the exact date of GTA 6 release to be 18th February 2025.
Anticipation is building for a potential GTA 6 Trailer 2 with hints that an announcement could come next month, followed by a reveal in May. This speculation stems from Rockstar Games updating their website. First, the "watch trailer" section for GTA 6 has been changed to a more general "videos" tab. Additionally, the game has been added to the official list of Rockstar titles on their store page.

GTA 6 is not coming to PC immediately when it will launch exclusively for Microsoft Xbox Series X & Series S along with PlayStation 5 gaming consoles in 2025. However, like other Rockstar Game titles that came on PC later, we can definitely speculate the GTA 6 to come out on PC later on as well. But, according to previous release dates of other Rockstar Games products, this is not happening until early 2026, at the very least.
The trailer for GTA VI was anticipated by many fans soon. However, as the trailer was leaked on X by a suspended account, Rockstar Games has officially released it earlier than expected.
