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 layoffs come 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.
Despite the setback, enthusiasm for the game remains strong, with record-breaking trailer views and the return of Vice City in a new open-world setting.
However, analysts have warned that ongoing development challenges and Rockstar's full return-to-office policy could increase the risk of further delays.
The studio confirmed earlier this year that GTA 6 will launch on May 26, 2026.
