Rockstar nearly doubled staff size for GTA VI development

Jason Schreier reports that full development for GTA VI did not start until 2019 because manpower was focused on Red Dead Redemption 2. He claims the game's vision was unclear for the first three or four years due to three developers sharing the Head of Development title. Rockstar says it nearly doubled its staff to 4711 employees as of August 2026 to improve scheduling. The game features a sweat system based on physical activity. It launches November 19, 2026, for consoles. A rumor suggests a PC version arrives in early 2027. Read more at Wccftech and KitGuru.
