Game news GTA 5: the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version subject to a new postponement?
We understand that 2022 promises to be a particularly rich year in terms of video games, but also in absence and postponement. The month of January has barely passed its first half that the calendar of releases for the next twelve months is already turned upside down. Moreover, a new candidate for a potential postponement, which is none other than Grand Theft Auto 5, would have been added to the list.
It’s been over a year now since the next-gen consoles were launched and still Grand Theft Auto 5 has already had a two-generation release since its release in mid-September 2013, Rockstar is set to give the title a release for the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft, namely PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The studio had also announced a first release date, around November 2021, before changing its mind and communicating a new date during the PlayStation Showcase last September.
The announcement had been coldly received by the players who did not fail to jump at the chance to express their dissatisfaction: we then wondered in our columns if the players just weren’t fed up of Grand Theft Auto 5. In November, Take-Two announced staggering figures and the online game was doing more than well, especially with the introduction of a new extension, called “The Contract”.
Would Rockstar try to heal its launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S?
However, the stormy episode of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, with its repeated hiccups and the lack of game finishes, might have led Rockstar to reconsider its way of working and launching its future productions. Thus, the New York development studio could allow a few more months for the launch of the next-gen version to go smoothly.. At least that’s what a rumor launched this weekend on the ResetEra site suggests.

It all started with a Brazilian dataminer, evolving under the pseudonym “Matheusbr9895_” on Twitter, announcing that the development of the version PS5 and Xbox Series X|S of GTA 5 would have experienced slight difficulties, forcing Rockstar to postpone its release by a few weeks. Rest assured that the most impatient, we are not talking about a big delay but about two additional months, going from a release scheduled for March to a release window between April and May 2022.. However, for his part, the user had not mentioned his sources and it was difficult to know the expertise of the latter in terms of leaks.
In the meantime, the GamesRadar site, which took over the information, gave credit to this potential postponement by announcing that an article from Rockstar should be published soon to take note of this slight discrepancy. Nevertheless, and as always for this type of rumour, it is important not to take these words for granted and to wait for formalization from Rockstar in good and due form: business to follow!
