Less than three months after the official announcement of the game on December 5, 2023, Rockstar Games confirms through its vice-president Jennifer Kolbe that the company is preparing to enter the home stretch of the development of its long-awaited game: GTA 6.
Last December 5, Rockstar Games finally lifted the veil around Grand Theft Auto VI by revealing ourselves the very first trailer for the title. Almost three months later, fans are still waiting for new official communication: second trailer, first information, first images or anything. This is something to please them at the end of February.
GTA 6: Rockstar is preparing
The latter will be happy to learn that the star firm is preparing to officially enter the home stretch of the game’s development. Indeed, it is Jennifer Kolbethe vice-president of Rockstar Games who replaced Dan Houser when he left in March 2020, who has just confirmed this to several American editorial offices, notably to Bloomberg.
In an email, the vice-president confirms that Rockstar will put an end to teleworking introduced since the Covid-19 crisis with a return of employees to the office during five days of the week from the beginning of April. This decision comes because Rockstar is preparing to enter the home stretch of GTA 6 development and the company wants to achieve a certain level of productivity and security that is not possible when working remotely. Indeed, following the numerous leaks concerning the game since 2022, Rockstar does not prefer to take any risks.
By making these changes now, we are in the best position to deliver the next Grand Theft Auto with the level of quality and polish we know it demands, as well as a release roadmap that matches the scale and ambition of the game.

GTA 6: the home stretch?
The final stretch of development does not mean that the GTA 6 game is finished. Far from there. This final stretch may require several more months of development and may involve many facets of development. It is currently impossible to really know what this term means and where Rockstar is, although we imagine that the star-studded firm is preparing to carry out the testing phases, which will effectively avoid numerous leaks. if these tests are carried out on site. This is when the teams from the star firm will give the final polish and optimize the game.
It is quite difficult to be precise on this point, however, the official and reliable communication from the starred firm can reassure us that the development is going well and its progress. Although we should not count too much on a release in 2024 as many hope, we can in any case be more and more reassured regarding a release for 2025, and perhaps even, from the first half of the year. To be continued.
