Rockstar Games has announced that the studio's future game releases will no longer have the same long-winded development times as Grand Theft Auto VI. This is a notable shift in development timeline which will impact future releases. This is good news for all the fans who have been waiting years for new titles in the franchise. There is now a chance that we could be seeing more frequent updates or new titles coming out sooner than expected due to the shortened development times.

Rockstar Games targets faster release schedules for upcoming games

In a statement, Rockstar Games has revealed details about the studio's future development. Rockstar Games is most notable for the epic scope of Grand Theft Auto VI. The last title in the series set a precedent with how long development took and how many resources went into the game. This new statement marks a change from the current development timeline of that particular title.

The statement from Rockstar Games was, “Our future games will not take as long as GTA 6 to release.” That is the quote right there which sums up the announcement. The statement refers to a change in the development timeline for future titles compared to the huge scope that was GTA 6. It's a shift in the internal schedule for future releases that the company is making.

This announcement comes at a time where we've recently heard updates about other titles under the Rockstar umbrella. In a previous article we talked about Rockstar Games disables full playability for free GTA V browser. This change doesn't really impact the way they distribute the game as much as it does their development schedule. Right now, the focus is on the development schedule for upcoming big titles.

Rockstar Games has officially announced that their future development schedule will be different. They'll be targeting shorter development times for future titles as opposed to the time it took to make Grand Theft Auto VI. This goes for upcoming titles in the pipeline. Release dates and new title information hasn't been revealed.
