GTA 6 Delayed to November 19, 2026

May 26, 2026--that was the day that Rockstar's hugely anticipated open-world crime game GTA 6 was supposed to release.

Rockstar's highly anticipated game, GTA 6, was originally set to release on May 26, 2026. However, the release date has been pushed back to November 19, 2026. This delay is not uncommon for Rockstar, as they have a history of postponing game launches. The initial release window for GTA 6 was Fall 2025, making this delay just the latest in a series of setbacks.

Rockstar explained that they needed more time to ensure that GTA 6 meets the quality standards expected by fans. According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, the new release date is approximately 18 months later than the original target, indicating that the game was initially planned for May 2025. Despite the delay, GTA 6 is now confirmed for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC players will have to wait for a PC version, as Rockstar has not yet announced its release, although it is likely to follow the console launch.
