A former Rockstar Games worker thinks Grand Theft Auto VI will cost more money to make than any other game from the company. Obbe Vermeij used to work as a technical lead and helped create famous games like Vice City and San Andreas. He believes the sixth game will break spending records for the entire series. The developer shared his thoughts during a recent interview on the KIWI TALKS show. His predictions paint a concerning picture for people who work at gaming companies.
Artificial intelligence will change how future Grand Theft Auto games are made according to Vermeij. Computer programs will handle tasks like creating maps and making cutscenes instead of human workers. This technology shift means Grand Theft Auto 7 should cost less to produce than the upcoming sixth game. Game studios might not need as many employees for these jobs anymore. The changes could hurt people who currently do this type of work.
Rockstar Games pushed back the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI from this year to May 2026. The company said they needed extra time to finish the project properly. Fans remain excited about the game despite having to wait longer. Some rumors suggest musicians will be able to upload their songs directly into the game. The title will come out for PC computers and both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles when it finally arrives.
