Today, around 2 PM, Rockstar Games posted an official statement on their website and social media, announcing that highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed to May 26, 2026. The studio explained that additional time is needed to deliver the best possible version of the game.
The post immediately caused a wave of outrage across the community. Following the announcement, Take-Two’s stock dropped by 8%, reflecting investor disappointment.
Hi everyone,
Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.
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.
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.
We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
Sincerely,
Rockstar Games
Looking at Rockstar Games’ history, delays are nothing new — Red Dead Redemption 2 was postponed twice, and GTA V was delayed once before launch.
