"Please tell me you're kidding": GTA 6's two delays flabbergasted Take-Two CEO

According to GamesRadar’s summary of Bloomberg comments, Rockstar head of publishing Jennifer Kolbe said she informed Zelnick twice about GTA 6 schedule changes: first from Fall 2025 to May 2026, then from May to November. Kolbe described the second call as a moment of clear surprise before the Take-Two boss accepted the explanation.

For fans, the notable part is not just that the delay happened, but that the publisher reportedly gave Rockstar room to keep working. After so much waiting, that may be frustrating, but it suggests the priority is avoiding a rushed launch.
