GTA 6 delayed to May 2026

Rockstar Games has announced the delay of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) to May 26, 2026, after it was initially scheduled for release in Fall 2025. This delay comes as the company strives to ensure a high-quality gaming experience that meets player expectations.

In an official statement, Rockstar expressed regret over the delay, confirming that the immense excitement surrounding the game serves as strong motivation for the team to deliver a product that exceeds expectations. The additional time will contribute to achieving the level of quality that players deserve.

This is not the first time Rockstar has delayed a major release; Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, was delayed several times before its launch in 2018. This delay could also impact other gaming companies' release plans, as they may take advantage of the absence of competition from GTA 6 in the Fall of 2025.

Although some fans may be disappointed by the delay, having a fixed release date may ease frustration and give players something to look forward to in the future.
