According to the GTA 6 Countdown fan account on X, Rockstar currently employs more than 6,000 developers worldwide. That total includes the team working on GTA 6, with over 1,600 specialists based at the company’s Indian studio, who handle complex open-world simulation, character animation and numerous other aspects of the game.
GTA 6 is shaping up to be the largest title in the industry’s history. Reports suggest the budget could exceed $1 billion, and opening sales are expected to set new records when the game launches in 2026.
Unlike markets such as China or South Korea, India’s games industry is less prominent on the global stage. Still, Rockstar’s India studio has long been a vital contributor to the company’s successes.
Team breakdown for GTA 6:
- Rockstar employs over 6,000 developers worldwide, distributed across studios in New York, London and other locations.
- Rockstar North comprises roughly 1,285 developers, while Rockstar Lincoln has about 910.
- Rockstar India is the largest single unit, with more than 1,600 developers.
This indicates that thousands of Indian professionals are involved in building GTA 6, contributing expertise in advanced physics, environmental interaction and other core technologies.
