GTA 6 Official Release Date Set – No Longer Expected This Fall

The source confirms a new release date for Grand Theft Auto VI, which has been pushed back from Fall 2025 to May 2026. Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive cite the delay as necessary to ensure the game meets high expectations and delivers a quality experience, despite a negative reaction in stock value. The game will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, featuring Vice City within the fictional state of Leonida, a narrative centering on a duo reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde including the first female protagonist in many years, and themes exploring modern American culture. This delay is anticipated to impact other game release schedules and is expected to lead to record-breaking sales.
