While it's annoying, it's something Rockstar fans have been waiting for. GTA V It was originally scheduled for spring 2013, but was postponed to fall. Red Dead Redemption 2 was postponed three times, and the last postponement was also for “polishing”. However, both GTA V And Red Dead Redemption 2 after these delays, it achieved huge success and critical acclaim, so it seems like it was the right choice.
Another option is to speed up the game's release, which could result in something like launch Cyberpunk 2077, which was extremely glitchy and took a long time after launch to reach a stable point. The developers even re-optimized the skill trees and controls many months after release. Bye Cyberpunk now considered a top tier game, it didn't launch because its release wasn't delayed enough.
Generally, GTA VI will still be on the horizon and gamers will get it when it comes out, but the bigger problem is that other publishers and development studios will now have to adjust their release schedules to avoid being caught up in the gaming black hole that GTA VI I'll definitely bring it.
