It’s official: GTA 6 launches on 26 May 2026 — but it’s a major delay.
Rockstar has finally and officially announced the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI or GTA 6, as many call it and it happens to be 26 May 2026. While this is undoubtedly good news because the date has finally been revealed, it’s worth noting that this is actually a delayed release. The game was previously expected to launch in 2025, more specifically, in the second half of 2025, which is just a few months away. Now that Rockstar has announced a release date of 26 May 2026, it has clearly been pushed back by several months.
What Rockstar Said Announcing The Delay
Posting across its official social channels, Rockstar said it is very sorry that the release date is later than many had expected, and that the interest surrounding the game has been humbling for the entire team.
“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,” Rockstar Games said.
The studio added, “We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.”
