Grand Theft Auto VI Delayed Until 2026, Because Of Course It Is
In what should come as no surprise, Rockstar Games has delayed Grand Theft Auto VI, this time saying it will be released in May 2026
Article Summary
- Grand Theft Auto VI has been officially delayed, now targeting a release date of May 26, 2026.
- Rockstar Games cites the need for extra development time to ensure the game's quality and expectations.
- Fans remain frustrated, having already waited a decade since the last major GTA release by Rockstar Games.
- Grand Theft Auto VI promises the biggest, most immersive evolution yet, set in Vice City and beyond.
Today in "We Could Have Predicted That" news, Rockstar Games announced the latest release date push for Grand Theft Auto VI. The company posted a notice on Twitter/X this morning, which we have for you below, letting players know the game will not be released until May 26, 2026. And honestly, even that date is suspect considering we've already been waiting a decade for this to come out, so until we're a week out from release, we're not putting any stock into the idea it will be out in about a year. Until then, we're just watching the clock.
Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026. We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.
With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.
We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
