O'Reilly disclosed during an appearance on a show that "GTA 6" entered the development phase in 2018. He specifically pointed out that the development commenced "right after we wrapped up on 'Red Dead Redemption 2'". O'Reilly elaborated, "I worked on 'GTA 6' from 2018 to 2023. I started working on it as soon as we finished 'Red Dead Redemption 2'. Looking back at all this is truly fascinating."
This announcement implies that "GTA 6" has been in development for around seven years as of now. If the game launches as scheduled in May 2026, its total development time will reach eight years. Given the massive scale and ambition of "GTA 6", as evident from its trailers, such a long development period is perhaps not entirely unexpected. Rockstar Games is known for its meticulous attention to detail and creating immersive open - world experiences, and "GTA 6" is set to be no exception. As the release date draws nearer, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these years of development will translate into an unforgettable gaming experience.
