Despite this, Zelnick remained optimistic, saying, "We feel really good about it," in reference to the targeted release window. He refrained from sharing specifics about GTA 6's development, emphasizing Rockstar's pursuit of perfection. Zelnick added, "I never claim success before it occurs.

Our whole organization is super excited."
