Former Rockstar Developer Warns GTA 6 Fans To Temper Expectations

GTA 6: Former Rockstar Games developer warns it might be 'disappointing'

GTA 6 fans are eagerly awaiting any updates from Rockstar Games regarding the highly-anticipated game. The latest insights from a former employee may not align with fans' expectations. The game has garnered immense anticipation, with limited official announcements so far.

Rockstar confirmed at the end of 2023 that they are working on GTA 6, releasing a trailer that has amassed over 200 million views on YouTube. The trailer hinted at a 2025 release window, later narrowed down to Autumn 2025 by Take-Two during an earnings call in May.

Former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij shared his perspective on the game, cautioning fans to manage their expectations. Vermeij suggested that GTA 6 may not be drastically different from GTA 5, potentially leading to initial disappointment for some players. Despite this, he praised the game's Miami-inspired setting, expressing confidence in its quality.

Vermeij, who worked at Rockstar for 14 years on titles like Vice City, San Andreas, and IV, emphasized that his insights were not based on insider information. He highlighted his admiration for the intricate character animations showcased in the trailer's beach scene.

Fans are anticipating potential updates on GTA 6 during an upcoming earnings call on August 8, hoping for more details from Take-Two or Rockstar. The game's release remains a focal point for the gaming community, with expectations running high for what is poised to be a groundbreaking addition to the Grand Theft Auto series.
