Rockstar Games has officially postponed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI to November 19, 2026, pushing back the highly anticipated title once more.
In a statement posted on X, the game developer apologized for the extended delay, saying, “We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”
Rockstar added, “We want to thank you again for your patience and support. While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City.”
Originally slated for a 2025 release, the launch was first pushed to May 2026 before being delayed again to November.
Grand Theft Auto, created by David Jones and Mike Dailly, first debuted in 1997. Its last installment, GTA V, came out in 2013—making fans wait over a decade for the next chapter in the blockbuster franchise.
