imagine how quickly they could get this game out if they only had around 30 more people working on it.
The hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed once again, from May 26 to November 19, 2026.
The purpose is to give the team, "some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve." bit.ly/4oCb7yf
