Rockstar Games’ hesitance to pick a release date for “GTA 6” is spooking publishers from doing the same for other games

With the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 and GTA 6, 2025 is shaping up to be an expensive year for video game fans.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and the history of Rockstar Games suggest what's next for GTA 6 is not the second trailer but a release date delay.

At this point, it’s easy to throw your arms up in the air and wait for other games that have a solid launch date. But it’s a fact that the next mainline entry in the revered GTA franchise is still on track.
