Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed from sometime in Q3 2025 to May 2026, Rockstar Games confirmed overnight.
“We are very sorry that this is later than you expected,” Rockstar said. “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.”
The title was expected around September 2025, leading many to believe Borderlands 4 moved up its release date to get out of the way of GTA 6. Alas…
Grand Theft Auto 6 is now planned for a 26 May 2026 release on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
