Rockstar Games delays Grand Theft Auto VI – again – to late 2026

The hugely anticipated sequel was due to arrive in May of next year but has been pushed back to November 2026

Rockstar Games's Grand Theft Auto VI, which was due to release on 26 May next year, has been delayed again - this time to the end of 2026. It has now been nearly two years since the game was announced, and more than 12 years since the release of Grand Theft Auto V.

Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026," reads Rockstar Games's statement on X. 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."
