GTA 6 was delayed partially because the amount of NPCs was 'horrifying' and required a dedicated studio full of writers to handle "We [could have] hit that schedule, but it won’t be the game we want to make." Grand Theft Auto 6, originally slated to be released back in May, was delayed to November—the reason given at the time was "to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve". And while that still very much holds true, the reality of the game's scope and stature was apparently kinda terrifying from a production standpoint. Speaking with Bloomberg, co-head of development Rob Nelson commented on one reason for the delay—the amount of NPCs that were required to populate Leonida: "The projections they were giving us were horrifying."
