Grand Theft Auto V, alone saw several delays in its production schedule. It only serves to benefit the fans and the company to ensure that they will release a quality product, and the best experience possible. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be built from the ground up for the next generation of consoles, and hardware, which is one of the reasons for the game’s delay.
