After years of speculation and anticipation, Rockstar Games had finally released a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. While there was no official launch date, many anticipated more details to emerge this month. But to many gamers’ disappointment, Rockstar announced the postponed launch of GTA 6. However, there is a silver lining here.

GTA 6 Won’t Land Until 2026, But the Countdown Can Finally Begin

The studio took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on 26th May 2026. While many fans had hoped to get their hands on the game sooner, this marks the first time we’ve received a concrete release date from the studio. In the official statement, Rockstar seems aware of the fan disappointment stating “We are very sorry that this is later than you expected.”

The developer also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming interest and support from the community, calling it “truly humbling”. “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations,” the message reads. And in true Rockstar fashion, the studio is prioritizing quality over speed, promising a game that meets the high bar fans have come to expect.

Rockstar emphasized that the delay is necessary to ensure GTA 6 lives up to the towering expectations placed on it. This delay might sting, but the silver lining is clear. We finally have a confirmed launch date, meaning there is no room for speculation and the game will be dropping in around a year. So it’s a six month delay over a recent report, which hinted at a November 2025 release.
