Jason Schreier

Bloomberg journalist whose GTA 6 reporting was twice misread: 'not content complete' in January 2026 and the '90 percent certain' quote of July.

Jason Schreier is a Bloomberg journalist whose reporting has repeatedly shaped, and occasionally been distorted by, the conversation around Grand Theft Auto VI's schedule.

January 2026: "not yet content complete"

In January 2026 Schreier said on a podcast that the game was "not yet content complete", a comment that spread widely as evidence of a coming delay. His actual position was that he "would not be surprised if the game does come out on schedule", and he corrected the misreading publicly, pointing out that people could simply have asked him. People close to the project had described remaining finishing and bug-fixing work, while Schreier also said the November window felt more solid than earlier targets, drawing a comparison with how Red Dead Redemption 2 shifted before it landed (see delay history).

July 2026: the misquote

In July 2026 a claim circulated that Schreier had said GTA 6 is "90 percent complete". He had not. What he actually said was that he is "roughly 90 percent certain the game will make its November 19 release date without another delay", a statement about confidence in the date, not about the state of the build. GTA BOOM published a correction on July 24, 2026, noting that certainty about a date had turned into completion of a game somewhere in the retelling.

Other reporting

Schreier has reported that Rockstar plans a significant online mode for GTA 6, which the studio itself has not announced (see multiplayer status), and his Bloomberg interview of early May 2026 surfaced Strauss Zelnick's confirmation of a Sony marketing partnership, which Zelnick stressed is not an exclusivity deal.
