CD Projekt Red recently commented on the postponement of Grand Theft Auto 6, citing its own experiences with Cyberpunk 2077. On Platform Instead of ridiculing or criticizing, CD Projekt Red took the opportunity to point out the lessons learned from Cyberpunk 2077’s rushed release.
In 2020, CD Projekt Red announced shortly before the release of Cyberpunk 2077 that no further postponements were planned. However, the sentence “No more delays are happening” quickly became a symbol of a hasty release, which subsequently caused massive dissatisfaction. The game was plagued with numerous bugs, performance issues and immature mechanics upon release, leading to refunds and a lengthy rework process.
With comprehensive updates and the Phantom Liberty expansion, CD Projekt Red finally managed to regain the trust of many players. The re-sharing of the old tweet was not intended to express gloating, but rather to serve as a warning. Many observers understood the message as an appeal to prioritize quality over adherence to deadlines. This attitude shows how deeply the experience of one’s own false start has an impact and how important it is to learn from mistakes.
The parallels between Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto 6 are obvious. Both titles represent enormous expectations, global attention and immense economic pressure. Rockstar Games can ill afford to have a similarly problematic start. GTA 6’s delay is therefore a strategic decision that may prevent history from repeating itself. The unwritten rule in the gaming industry has been for years that a delayed game can become good, while a hastily released one remains bad.
With its reaction, CD Projekt Red urges patience, professionalism and perhaps a little more humility. For Rockstar, the delay is a strategic decision that may prevent history from repeating itself. The force of the hype accompanying the game is strongly reminiscent of the situation in 2020, when Cyberpunk 2077 was considered the “next big game”. Experience shows that it is better to delay a game to ensure quality than to release it too early and disappoint players’ expectations.
