    GTA 6 Leaks Continue as Rockstar Calls 2022 Hack 'Weirdly Invasive'

    Rockstar developers told Bloomberg that the 2022 GTA 6 leaks felt like 'somebody's wading through your dirty washing,' with Rockstar North's Aaron Garbut calling it 'really weirdly invasive.' On the same day, leaker CyberLeek posted another gameplay leak and said it could be the last. The hack also led Rockstar to require developers to work from the office, and publishing boss Jennifer Kolbe said the policy will be reviewed after GTA 6 releases but she doesn't expect major changes.

    Rockstar Issues Rare Official GTA 6 Development Update

    Rockstar has issued a rare official update on the development of GTA 6, giving the public a first real sense of the issues it faced while making the game.

    Bloomberg report: GTA 6 was once planned to be bigger and could have shipped years sooner

    A Bloomberg report says that when a small Rockstar team went to Miami in 2015 to plan GTA 6, the game was envisioned to span large swaths of North and South America under the codename Project Americas, before the scope was pared down to Miami and its surroundings. The report also says Rockstar originally planned to develop GTA 6 alongside Red Dead Redemption II to bring it to market sooner, but as that game grew it needed more staff to ship in 2018, delaying GTA 6 by several years. Rockstar denied the rumor that GTA 6 cost $1.5 billion to develop but gave no specifics on the actual cost.

    Rockstar devs say GTA 6 was delayed partly because the number of NPCs was 'horrifying' and needed a dedicated studio

    Rockstar co-head of development Rob Nelson told Bloomberg that one reason for GTA 6's delay was the 'horrifying' number of NPCs needed to populate Leonida, which led the company to set up an entire studio in LA to handle the workload. Fellow co-head Phil Hooker said the team shifted the date once it became clear some areas wouldn't make it, since hitting the schedule would mean shipping a game they didn't want to make. GTA 6 was originally slated for May and delayed to November.

    Rockstar reveals GTA 6 was originally Project Americas, discusses crunch, delays and leaks

    In a wide-ranging Bloomberg interview, Rockstar revealed that GTA 6 was originally codenamed Project Americas and was meant to cover large areas of North and South America before being scaled down to Miami and its surroundings. Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson took staff to Miami in 2015 for the first research trip, and the game was initially to be developed alongside Red Dead Redemption 2 before being pushed back several years. Rockstar grew from 2,441 to 4,711 employees across 12 offices, and publishing head Jennifer Kolbe said the company reflected on the crunch of Red Dead Redemption 2 and recalled calling Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick about another delay. GTA 6 is now due 19th November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, with a PC version reportedly due in Q1 next year.

    Rockstar development leads Phil Hooker and Aaron Garbut told Bloomberg they are confident the engine, tools and team built during GTA 6 will let future games be made more quickly, going "more sideways than upwards" rather than taking another eight years. Garbut said the foundational changes are done and won't be ripped apart. The same report notes that Rockstar previously mobilized most of the studio, including senior leadership, to finish Red Dead Redemption 2, pushing GTA 6 back several years.

    Jason Schreier reports on GTA VI development: studio doubled in size, project was once Project Americas

    Jason Schreier's report details the challenges behind GTA VI's eight-plus years of development and how Rockstar changed during production. Rockstar grew from 2,441 employees at Red Dead Redemption II's 2018 release to 4,711 across 12 offices, and the game went through a dark period as leadership struggled to settle on its vision. GTA VI was originally codenamed Project Americas and aimed to cover large areas of North and South America before being scaled back to Vice City and its surroundings, with Rockstar leadership maintaining the November 19 release date is achievable.

    Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said Xbox and PS5 price hikes have hit sales hard, with US Xbox hardware units down 33% year on year and PlayStation hardware units down 25%, marking an all-time low for Xbox and PlayStation's lowest point since 2013. He said the average US price paid for a new Xbox console in 2026 year-to-date through August was $529, up 26% year on year, while the average PlayStation console sold for $597, up 20%, both all-time US highs. Piscatella said the US hardware market has not been in a more precarious position since the early 80s, and noted that GTA 6's launch next month might ease some of the declines, depending on pricing and product availability.

    Blizzard dev says WoW: Forever's scope snowballed: 'Our original pitch internally was: We'll do 4 new dungeons'

    World of Warcraft: Forever's content scope grew during development, with associate production director Clay Stone saying the team's original internal pitch was four new dungeons before it became six and then nine. He said the response to Season of Discovery, shipped in November 2023, led to discussions about a non-season version, and that appetite within the team and Blizzard built the launch scope beyond what players expected.
