One innocuous Reddit comment has been traced back to being from a potential Rockstar employee, and seemingly confirms that GTA 6 is still on track for release in 2025Tech13:54, 03 Mar 2025GTA 6 is still aiming for this year, apparentlyGrand Theft Auto 6 is so big even John Cena is posting about it, and while its launch is still expected this year, Rockstar's radio silence has fans expecting the worst a delay to 2026.While publisher Take-Two won't stop talking about GTA 6, the studio making it has been so quiet fans are still finding fresh details from the game's only trailer so far.Fans have been piecing together clues that may or may not be there, but now we have a suggestion that one potential Rockstar employee has actually spoken about the effect leaks have on the team's morale.Over on the GTA 6 subreddit, one user has shared a comment from a post about the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remakes we reported on last week.Discussing how leaks affect developers, the commenter said the following: "They don't discourage devs, but it can be an absolute mood killer to work on something for years and have the reveal/announcement pulled from under your feet by a leaker looking for some internet fame/clout.""I'm at a studio working on what will be 2025's biggest release, and we had celebration plans for releasing our reveal trailer which were completely thwarted when the trailer leaked the night before.""We all found out our game was revealed overnight via Twitter/Reddit and group chats. It was a strange atmosphere in the studio the next day - excited to finally reveal our game while simultaneously gutted over how it went down. And management were not happy on what should have been a monumental day for the studio."Rockstar's silence has some fans jumpy(Image: Rockstar Games)That could be from just about any developer, but if you cast your mind back to the initial trailer for GTA 6, it launched the day after a bizarre watermarked version emerged from a leaker.The community isn't entirely sure, though. While news of a possible 2025 release is welcome, some suggest it's an elaborate hoax."Nobody's putting their job at risk to post comments on Reddit," one commenter said, while another pointed out the account has been deleted.Is it all a big goof?
