Following the recent announcement that Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed to May 26, 2026, Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive released an official statement supporting the studio. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier also shared his thoughts on the situation.

Take-Two’s Statement

Here’s what Take-Two said regarding the GTA VI delay:

"We fully support Rockstar Games’ decision to take additional time to realize the creative vision of Grand Theft Auto VI, which promises to be an outstanding entertainment experience that exceeds players’ expectations. Despite the importance of commercial success and the massive global anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI, we remain committed to quality."

This clearly shows that even though the delay brings financial losses, Take-Two supports Rockstar’s choice, understanding that extra time will help GTA VI reach a truly polished state and set new standards for video games.

Jason Schreier’s Comments

Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier also commented on the delay, noting that many Rockstar employees didn't expected a 2025 release to be realistic.

"Too much work, too little time. Most importantly, leadership genuinely wants to avoid harsh crunch — long overtime and burnout during the final stages of development"

Schreier explained
According to him, the move to 2026 had been considered inevitable for months.

Final Thoughts

The delay of GTA VI was not an impulsive decision but rather the result of careful planning and internal realities. Rockstar’s teams have been working tirelessly, yet the studio prefers to take the time needed to deliver true excellence.

For fans of Grand Theft Auto, this news may sting, but patience will ultimately pay off — GTA VI is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and groundbreaking games ever made.
