The release of GTA 6 is now a distant prospect: As fans had already feared, Rockstar Games will release the gangster game later than hoped. Particularly bold: The developers have announced a specific date.
This is how it can go: Rockstar Games surprisingly informed about the significant release delay of GTA 6. As far as one can even speak of such a thing, because a real release date had not been announced beforehand.
Rockstar Games is targeting May 2026
Admittedly, given the lack of news, it would have been a big surprise if Rockstar Games had released the open-world gangster game Grand Theft Auto 6 would actually be released this year. Fans and insiders had suspected for months that the sequel to one of the most popular video game series wouldn't be released until 2025. Some fans, however, hoped that the developers would defy expectations and release the game relatively quickly. Now it's clear: That won't happen. And this time, it's official.
As Rockstar Games announced at the release of GTA 6 on May 2nd, it will be later than expected. They were humbled by the interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto The developers have reported that they have obviously been following what is happening in the fan scene. Rockstar Games is now asking players for support and, above all, patience. GTA 6 is not finished yet. "With every game we have released, the goal has always been to exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception." To ensure the best possible quality, they're allowing themselves a few more months of development time. Grand Theft Auto 26 is now scheduled for release on May 2026, 6.
The announcement doesn't reveal anything more. It remains unclear whether there were delays in development or whether the quality of the game wasn't as satisfactory as one would expect for a title of this magnitude. The developers state that they plan to share more information with fans "soon." "Soon," however, is also a rather vague statement, especially since Rockstar Games has so far been unwilling or unable to release any significant details about the game, apart from a single trailer. It is at least positive that Rockstar Games has given a concrete date at all—at least if it can be met.
