GTA 6 release date: Grand Theft Auto VI gets a delayed schedule, confirmed by Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games has officially announced the launch date for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). Most gaming companies across the globe are closely monitoring this date as this could easily impact their game launch plans, if any.

GTA 6 is set to release on May 26, 2026. Rockstar has apologised for the delay, emphasizing in its statement that the interest and excitement surrounding the upcoming game launch has been truly humbling for the entire team.

For all the games Rockstar has released so far, the goal has been to try and exceed expectations. Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. The company is seeking some extra time to present a game that surpasses expectations and takes standards a notch higher.

The delay in GTA 6 release opens up the second half of the year to a number of other games. Since there is no mention of launch platforms, it is speculated that GTA 6 is releasing on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S in May 2026.
