In an interview with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, Rockstar officially announced that GTA 6 has twice as many developers as Red Dead Redemption 2.

Rockstar has undergone extensive changes during the development of GTA 6 and because of this, there are high expectations and excitement around it. The construction of this work took more than eight years and during this period, it has been delayed twice. Also, the project has gone through a period that Rob Nelson, the director of game development, refers to as a "dark period"; When the final vision of the project was not clearly defined yet.

When Rockstar released its last major game, Red Dead Redemption 2, in 2018, it had 2,441 employees. Since then, the number of employees of the company has increased to 4,711 people in 12 different offices; Statistics that make Rockstar a much bigger company than all its competitors.

Along this path, employees have also faced several crises; From a serious rethinking of work-life balance to a catastrophic series of revelations and leaks. Also, after 34 employees were fired due to allegations of wrongdoing, there were allegations that the company tried to prevent the formation of a labor union.

GTA 6 will be released on 28 Aban 1405 (19 November 2026) for Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

The GTA game series has an adult age rating, and it is necessary for families to supervise the access of children and teenagers to them.
