Grand Theft Auto VI postponed to May 2026

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released on May 26, 2026. The release was originally planned for fall 2025, but the studio decided to take additional time to finalize the game.

The company published the following statement on its website:

"Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.

We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. 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."

We remind you that the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI was presented in December 2023. Since then, Rockstar has shared almost no details about the game, including the release date, which was expected in the fall of this year.
