Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has now weighed in on this discussion. Within a Twitter thread about a potential 2023 release date for Grand Theft Auto VI, Schreier weighed in saying "everything" Tom Henderson's stated matched up with his information. More specifically, he confirmed:

[I don't know] why everyone thinks that I said GTA VI was coming in 2023. Everything Tom Henderson has said about the game matches up with what I've heard.

When queried about this further, one reply said that people believed this because Schreier previously advised a 2023 release date sounded "more realistic" than 2021. Confirming he did state this, Schreier clarified those comments came "before we entered a pandemic that still hasn't stopped".
