‘GTAโ VI’โ Delayed Again, Nowโข Targeting November 2026โฃ Release
Rockstar Games announced today a further delay forโ its highly anticipatedโ title, Grand Theft Autoโ VI,โค pushing theโ launchโค window back to November โ19, 2026 – six months after its previously scheduled release date of May 26, 2026. This marks theโ second postponement for the game, resulting โin a โคtotal delay of one year โขfrom the initialโฃ target of fall โค2025 for PlayStation โฃ5 โand Xbox Series X/S โconsoles.
The studioโฃ expressed regret โคover the โadditional โฃwait, acknowledging โit “has beenโ a long time โขcoming,” but stated the extraโข months willโ be crucial to โขdelivering a game that meets player expectationsโ for quality. Rockstar sharedโค that the additional progress time will be dedicated โto refining the expansive open world of Leonida andโ the reimagined, “modern” โvice City.โ The announcement arrives as the โฃgaming world keenly anticipates the next installment in the โขblockbuster Grand โTheft Auto franchise.
Theโฃ delay hasโ prompted โa resurgence of commentsโฃ from Strauss Zelnick, CEO โฃof Take-Two Interactive โ(Rockstar Games’ parent company), who stated inโ May, “Historically, when we โsetโข a precise date, we tend to be very good at respecting it.”
playersโข currently have โaccess to twoโข released trailers offering glimpsesโ of the game’s setting and protagonists,Jason andโค Lucรญa,a couple of small-time criminals. The โinitial trailer debuted inโ December 2023, while the second, released inโ May, generated โฃsuch high traffic โthat it temporarily crashed โฃYouTube’s view counter, amassing over 137 โmillion โviews to date.โ
Rockstar concluded its announcement by thanking fans for โฃtheir “patienceโข and support.”
