Obbe Vermeij was once a lynchpin of the DMA and Rockstar North teams that built the early 3D Grand Theft Autos, and was the studio's technical director until leaving in 2009, shortly after the release of GTA 4. Vermeij is now working on his own projects, including the chilled map-shaper Plentiful, but in recent times has also taken to reminiscing about the Rockstar days and, though he's no longer an insider, offering some insight about how GTA 6 is being handled.
Ever since the first GTA 6 trailer offered a loose 2025 release date, there has been speculation that this will be pushed back. To be fair this is based on previous GTAs being delayed, but as Vermeij points out these decisions cannot realistically be taken until you're getting closer to the release date anyway.
