Rockstar Confirms New Launch Date for Grand Theft Auto VI
GTA VI Release Pushed Back to May 26, 2026
Rockstar Games has officially announced that the release of Grand Theft Auto VI has been postponed to May 26, 2026, moving from its previously anticipated fall 2025 launch window. This update was shared via the Rockstar Newswire, where the development team expressed their commitment to delivering a game that meets the high standards expected by fans. They acknowledged the delay and thanked the community for its continued support and patience.
The decision to delay aligns with Rockstar's history of prioritizing quality, as seen with previous titles like Red Dead Redemption 2. The company emphasized that the additional time will allow them to refine the game further, ensuring an experience that exceeds player expectations.
Set in the neon-lit streets of Vice City, Grand Theft Auto VI introduces Lucia, the series' first female protagonist, in a narrative inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
The game promises to be the most expansive and immersive installment in the franchise to date.
While the delay may be disappointing to eager fans, it reflects Rockstar's dedication to delivering a polished and high-quality product. The company has indicated that more information will be shared in the coming months, and the gaming community remains hopeful for updates, possibly during Take-Two Interactive's upcoming financial results on May 15.
