GTA 6 has been delayed to 2026. Every Rockstar game from the past 10 years has been delayed beyond its originally announced date, so this is no surprise. But it’s surely a disappointing development for many.
The game is now set for release on May 26, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It was previously set for release in Fall 2025.
“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,” Rockstar said.
The statement continued: “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.”
