An overhaul began in 2018 after staff pushed back against a reported "culture of crunch, bullying, and frat-house antics." Some managers involved were reportedly let go, and now Rockstar is said to be "a boys' club transformed into a real company." It was also reported that Rockstar had planned a "Cops 'n' Crooks" mode for GTA Online but elected to cancel it after the George Floyd protests. With all of that in mind, developers told Bloomberg that GTA 6 is probably at least two years away, putting its potential release date at some point in 2024 at the soonest.īloomberg's report also touches on wider changes within Rockstar Games. Additionally, the design department was said to have been restructured to help workers avoid excessive overtime. The pandemic caused production delays, the report said, but another factor causing the slower development was due to changes at Rockstar to help improve culture and working conditions. The report does state that Rockstar's developers are taking care to not "punch down" with jokes about marginalized groups, which would be a change from past games that poked fun at all manner of people.Īs for when GTA 6 might be released, the report said development on the title is progressing slower than some developers expected. In terms of the story for GTA 6, the report doesn't offer anything beyond how it may riff on Bonnie and Clyde. It added that GTA 6 will have even more interior locations than past GTA games. The report goes on to say Rockstar will "continually update" GTA 6 over time to add new missions and even entire cities on a "regular basis." While GTA 6's rumored Miami map may be smaller than the original Project Americas concept, it's still expected to be significant in size, the report said. None of this is a total surprise, as leaks and rumors suggested GTA 6 would return to Miami-called Vice City in GTA's world-and feature a female protagonist. However, management elected to pare things down and focus on one city in particular, a fictional version of Miami, along with its suburbs.
