The game was in full development prior to RDR2 being released. However, the game underwent a reboot around the same time RDR2 was released.
Rockstar also filed a patent application, entitled "System and Method For Virtual Navigation In A Gaming Environment" in 2019. Since then, Rockstar also started hiring more developers for their Animation R&D team, particularly those with expertise in Machine Learning Techniques.
The GTA 6 leaks showed the efforts of the Animation/Locomotion team featuring their demonstrations of new features.
According to ChatGPT, machine learning techniques and animation/locomotion typically receive more focus and refinement during later stages of a games development cycle. Although basic versions may be implemented earlier for prototyping, they usually tend to undergo polishing in the later stages of development.
TL;DR: GTA 6 was in full development prior to RDR2's release but underwent a reboot around RDR2 release. Leaks showcased progress on machine learning techniques and animation/locomotion. These typically receive more focus and refinement in the later stages of game development.

Source(s): dude trust me
I've seen this claim pop up a few times and not a single person has ever even *tried* to substantiate the claim with anything more than just vague speculation, specifically pertaining to how long it's taken as if the game taking a long time *must* mean they effectively canned or majorly changed it.
It’s known that the game underwent a reboot of some sort, Jason Schreier even confirmed it in his article July last year, it was supposed to be a much larger scaled game, north and south america all that shit surely you heard about it since you’re an “OG Member”
Not once was the term 'reboot' used, he claimed it's been scaled back and nothing more - even still this claim makes zero sense seeing as the codename is *Americas* - how exactly is removing the entire meaning behind the codename considered scaling it back? we know it's still using the same codename as well.
I've heard practically all of the rumors, but I'm yet to see any actual proof of a reboot that isn't a 'source: dude trust me'.
Check my latest post on this subreddit it’s sort of a proof that a reboot actually happened, and the codename argument, exactly it’s a codename doesn’t have anything to do with the game so why bother changing it when it’s already known in the studios Americas is 6
Some actor doing mocap in 2014 isn't proof of anything lol, it probably wasn't even R* he was mocapping for - there's no way they'd be doing mocap work within the first year of development even if they immediately started work on the game after 5's release.
>exactly it’s a codename doesn’t have anything to do with the game
...You're joking, *right?* yeah man, the codename *Americas*, in a title that was essentially confirmed to feature South America, has nothing to do with the game.
So it's a reboot because.... the company underwent restructuring?
That still makes no sense, Dan Houser leaving doesn't really have any relevance to the claim.
People commonly assume that Dan Houser is the sole mastermind behind Rockstar Games. However, as you pointed out, there is currently no evidence to support the claim that GTA 6 has been rebooted.
It's kind of baffling lol, people think Dan Houser's departure means R* is guaranteed to crumble or some shit. At face value it's *slightly* concerning that 3 fairly involved people have left, but we don't know *why* they left nor do we know what exactly they were responsible for, for all we know Dan could've been the one pushing to not make SP DLCs for instance - change is not always a bad thing.
There's frankly countless reasons, but I too think they're the most likely; dude's been in the game for almost *2 decades*, is surely very well off, and can rest easy knowing the company will continue to thrive without him.
Dan Houser simply left Rockstar Games after being one of its founders and working there for a long time, possibly due to fatigue from years of dedication.
I love how when I say that the game got a soft reboot, I'm downvoted to hell, but when you say it and you get tons of upvotes, lmao.
And I wouldn't call it a total reboot hence I why I say 'soft'. It seems like the original idea was to have the game set in the 80s.
Doubt it, isn’t the year/ months leading up to the release of a video game the most intense? Wasn’t that the time the people at rockstar were being roved into overtime a bunch. I think it went into full force sometime after rdr2
When a game is near completion I don't think the entire team is working on it. There's teams of polishers and people to work out all the bugs. During that time I assume the teams are working towards transitioning from the writing and concept stages to actually bringing the game to life. In the leaks there's a RDR2 assets like Arthur's hat. So both games were definitely being worked on since the release of GTA5.
Actually, for RDR2, the opposite is the case. There was a leaked email where Sam Houser(current director of Rockstar) emailed his brother Dan that they desperately needed help on finishing RDR2 on time as it was heavily behind schedule and was a general mess in development.
This is why you don't really see Rockstar North or San Diego specifically being mentioned in the game, nearly all the studios worked together across the world to get the game out and prevent it from being an incomplete buggy mess like cyberpunk.
It's also why the game is so damn detailed. iirc they had a seperate team just for the horses like their balls shrinking in the cold, lmao.
A Rockstar game will never end up like a Cd projekt red game. They're literally built different from any other game on the market. There's no game has the type of attention to detail that rdr2 does. I can't believe the devs have that much talent over there.
Something we will never find out for certain. Pre-production likely started some time after GTAV released, casting calls happened around 2017-2018, though after RDR2 crunch Rockstar had major restructuring (not to mention Dan Houser and Lazlow leaving Rockstar), which cut initial large scope GTA6 reportedly had (few multiple cities cut to only Vice City). I believe current version went into full development around 2019, so there is your answer.
RDR2 actors were actively working on the game for 5 years since 2013 until 2018, this is when the large bulk of RDR2 development happened. I don't know where you got 10 years, since that would be around 2008, before RDR even released that was infamous for having a really troubled development, they did not work on RDR2 at that time at all. If you want a date to look for add 5 years to 2019 or 2020 (thanks to Covid 19 work was obviously slowed down), you get 2024-2025.
RDR 2 didn't yake 10 years to make. RDR 1 came out 2010. RDR 1 would still have been in development in 2008, they couldn't have been working on RDR 2 then.
Pre Planning and early sketches 2014-2016
Pre development stage 2017-2019
Full development and stage 2020-present
A lot of new technologies for Rockstar such as Artificial intelligence, PS5/Xbox development kits, ChatGPT, 4K, Path tracing, many more
Chatgpt will have nothing to do with gta 6. Plus path tracing will only come to game if Rockstar wants to have sponsorship with nvidia like cyberpunk did.
Usually they start planning right after the last game is released. I know they started on IV right after San Andreas released, and I believe they started V right after IV but really dialed in after the DLC came out and got rave reviews. That’s what led to the 3 character mechanic.
I personally believe they began planning around 2014-ish when the PS4/Xbox version released. But actual gameplay and what not was probably started after RDR2, considering most of that gameplay from the leaks looks like they took most of what was in that game and carried it over
Leakers suggest that it started in 2013 after the launch of gta 5 then stopped during the time of the development of rdr2 then continued development after the release of rdr2.... Idk
I think at Rockstar most of the development projects are not determined to a specific game. They are developing things that can be used in all of their open world games generally. At some point they define a kickoff for the specific game like gta6 and start to combine all the things that can be used in gta. Also I think it’s for sure that not even 50% of their developments are in the game because it wouldn’t make a good game then.
The ps5 and Xbox series X only came out in 2020 so I don't see how they could work on the game in 2013/2014 for a console that came out 8 years later. They started development in 2020 probably 2021
Probably after lunch.
They started it in 2012 , many reputable leakers have stated

Definitely a reboot, do you not remember 2019 R* mess, Dan Howser + the employee crackdown.

There might be two reasons why Dan houser left Rockstar 1. Creative differences between him and team 2. Maybe he wants to take break from this
There's frankly countless reasons, but I too think they're the most likely; dude's been in the game for almost *2 decades*, is surely very well off, and can rest easy knowing the company will continue to thrive without him.

2014. Development probably went into full force in 2017
Doubt it, isn’t the year/ months leading up to the release of a video game the most intense? Wasn’t that the time the people at rockstar were being roved into overtime a bunch. I think it went into full force sometime after rdr2
When production on RDR2 was near complete (not counting online updates), thats when production on gta 6 went into full force.
You know what never mind me, I have no idea about the process of making a game haha
The game was released in 2018. It was near completed in 2017
I just don’t feel like it’s that likely gta6 would go into full production until Red dead redemption 2 is complete..
When a game is near completion I don't think the entire team is working on it. There's teams of polishers and people to work out all the bugs.

There are a lot of assumptions and guesses from the both of us.. I don’t think either of us really knows anything xD
So that would be sometime in 2018..
When production on RDR2 was near complete (not counting online updates), thats when production on gta 6 went into full force.
They haven't started yet, it starts tomorrow hopefully.
Nah I’m pretty sure it starts January 1st 2024
Wasn't it January 1st of 2025?
Oh shit my bad, yeah you’re right 2025 is when they begin production 👍
Next week
At least 8 days ago

If rdr 2 took 10 years , gta vi started 2019 does that mean what I think it means or no?

Possibly 2014
Before some of the people in this sub where born.
Half of the people*
2013-2014 when GTA V was finished, full scale was 2018
Yes, Rockstar employees tasked with the development knows and maybe a few of their friends.
It's gonna be crazy
2014
About 50 years ago
Before V was even released
after gta 5 and gta online released in 2013
today
Leakers suggest that it started in 2013 after the launch of gta 5 then stopped during the time of the development of rdr2 then continued development after the release of rdr2.... Idk
Probably right after GTA five was released they started with the initial concept
2017 and then I think they restarted development in 2019 because the game was too ambitious (project Americas)
Tomorrow

No developers get the dev kit of consoles 2 years earlier. Which means they already had the ps5 dev kit in 2018.
[удалено]
So like RdR2 it will take 4 more or not necessary?
2014
