A new report suggests that GTA 6‘s story will be a tad toned down compared to its predecessors. According to Bloomberg, Rockstar Games has directed the its writers to be “less crude” towards minority groups, which previous GTA games didn’t shy away from. The report further claims that GTA 6’s development has missed some internal deadlines, but is “on track.”

GTA 6 has a Bonnie & Clyde type story
Not much is known about GTA 6 other than a trailer and a few rumors, but from what we’ve seen, the game features two playable characters — a male and a female — living the life of crime.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reports that some publishers are holding off on setting release dates for their games because they want to avoid being cannibalized by GTA 6. The game is expected to release in fall 2025, but may slip into 2026. As a result, some publishers are apparently in wait-and-watch mode to keep their games away from GTA 6’s release window.

Whenever it does release, GTA 6 will reportedly come with a “significant online mode,” per Bloomberg, which doesn’t come as a surprise considering the success of GTA Online. It remains to be seen if the existing multiplayer mode will be kept separately as is, or merged into the new online game.
