The briefing
The March 2023 report collects insider predictions of a holiday-2024 target, with the possibility of a later slip. It discusses workplace changes and production expectations as possible influences on timing.
Those were unofficial forecasts. Rockstar’s first trailer later announced 2025, followed by further official changes. The record should therefore be read as a dated prediction, not a competing current launch date or proof of an exact internal schedule.
