GTA 6 Set to be Delayed Due to Donald Trump’s Second Term? Dan Houser’s Worst Fears Have Come True Despite Rockstar Exit


In the wave of uncertainty surrounding the release of GTA 6, another barrier has resurfaced that might hinder its speedy release in the fall of next year, which too is just an anticipated release window since Rockstar has its doors shut at the moment.

Despite the shaky release window anticipated by fans, there seems to be another problem that might cause the game’s release to get further pushed, and all of this is linked to Donald Trump winning the American elections.

Amidst concerns over GTA 6’s release date, an old interview from 2018 of Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar, has resurfaced on the internet where he expressed concerns over releasing the game during a Trump tenure. He was optimistic about the release and talked about how releasing the game under Trump’s regime would have been difficult.

Trump has now won again, and with that, the worst fears of Dan Houser seem to be coming true with the future of the game hanging loose and adrift in the sea of uncertainty.

Among the various looming threats contributing to the game’s delay, another one seems to have been added. Trump’s regime coming to power is not good news for fans, according to Dan Houser.

It’s really unclear what we would even do with it, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did. Both intense liberal progression and intense conservatism are both very militant, and very angry.

Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020, leaving the company in the hands of Sam Houser, and players are extremely worried about the game’s future at the moment since Rockstar has a reputation for delaying game releases.

GTA 6 is set to be the biggest game ever released by Rockstar, and the scope of the game itself is the major contributor to the delay since the studio would not want to release a half-cooked game, and completing such a vast game takes time.

There is a high chance that these reasons do not account for the worst. The real reason behind these speculations is Rockstar’s silence on the matter.

The studio has abstained from speaking about the release date or announcing any other updates about it, and the last thing we got was just a reveal trailer in December 2023.

A new trailer was expected to drop later this year, but assessing the current situation, it seems highly unlikely that we will see any other updates about the game until next year. To paint a clear picture of everything, Rockstar should break its silence on the matter and come forward to address the fans. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
