Rockstar Games has announced that GTA 6 has been delayed once again, now set to launch on November 19, 2026. The game was previously scheduled for May 2026 and earlier for Fall 2025.

The studio said it is “very sorry for adding additional time to what we realise has been a long wait” and explained the extra months will allow them to deliver the level of quality players expect and deserve.

Reasons for the delay and impact

This second official delay underscores the ambition of the project, which has been in development for over a decade. Rockstar emphasised it prefers postponing rather than releasing an unfinished product, despite fan frustration.

Community reaction and next steps

The community responded with disappointment but also understanding given the studio’s track record with high-calibre titles. Attention now turns to Rockstar’s future announcements and whether this new date will hold.
