Rockstar Big Theft Automatic 6developers call its upcoming project “the biggest game release in history.”
The company's claim (which is rarely possible to argue with) is part of a job ad viewed through Rockstar's website. In it, developers said it is seeking a lead software engineer to ensure everything goes well when the GTA 6 finally arrives next year.
The company said Rockstar’s lucky candidates will work with “some of the most talented people in the industry” to help develop the data platform behind the upcoming behemoth.
“With the continued growth of Grand Theft Auto Online and the release of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, successful candidates will lead the evolution and operation of the data platform, supporting the largest gaming launches in history, ensuring IT scaling provides an extraordinary experience for millions of players around the world,” Rockstar wrote.

It's unclear whether Rockstar calls GTA 6 the biggest game launch because of its lucrative profitability or how many players might flood into the game in the first few days. Analytics firm Ampere previously estimated that the GTA 6 could have an impact on the gaming industry that would be worth $2.7 billion.
The GTA 6 will now be launched in just eight months and will mark the first new entry in Rockstar’s best-selling series in a decade. So there is a lot of demand for the fresh Grand Theft Auto, so the GTA 5 initially launched the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.
A recent trailer shows more about GTA 6, which includes its dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, and finally set a May 26, 2026 release date. Still, the game is still in the package.
So far, Rockstar has not shared any details about the GTA Online version of GTA 6, presumably the job applicant will work to lead the development of its data platform. However, whether the new version of GTA Online can be with the Main GTA 6 campaign launch date and date remains to be seen – but if there is no further delay overall.
Whenever GTA 6 arrives, it can be said that no other game developer wants to launch their own projects anywhere Rockstar releases. Indeed, earlier this month, Yotei director Nate Fox's ghost was Sucker Punch celebrates previous delays in GTA 6 Outside of this year, make their game clear during the holidays. “We're still hungover, a hangover for many months,” Fox said. “It was a great day.”
Can the GTA 6 launch capability slide again? Strauss Zelnick, the owner of Rockstar's parent company Take-Two, Tell IGN earlier “Historically, when we set a specific date, in general, we are very good at implementing it.” Hopefully Rockstar can fill this work quickly.
