GTA 6 Delayed to May 26, 2026, Launching on PS5 and Xbox Series

Rockstar Games has officially postponed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI to May 26, 2026. The game will be available exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. According to the developers, this delay is necessary to ensure the highest standards of quality — the kind fans have come to expect and deserve.

Originally, publisher Take-Two had targeted a Fall 2025 release window, but many were skeptical. Previous Rockstar projects, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V, had experienced delays, and some doubted that the ambitious GTA 6 could meet its initial schedule. One notable skeptic was a former GTA veteran who left after GTA IV and predicted the game wouldn’t be ready in time.

Rockstar emphasized the massive anticipation surrounding GTA 6 and expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans for their patience and ongoing support. They reiterated their commitment to excellence, stating that the extra development time will help deliver an experience worthy of the franchise's legacy.

More details about the game are expected soon. For now, it is confirmed that GTA 6 will take place in the fictional state of Leonida, with protagonists Lucia and her partner at the center of a crime saga inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
