Rockstar Games has once again delayed its most anticipated title ever: Grand Theft Auto VI.
The studio announced that the game will now release on November 19, 2026, citing “extra time needed to polish and optimize gameplay for next-gen consoles.”
Originally planned for mid-2025, this delay marks the second major pushback for the open-world blockbuster. Fans reacted with a mix of frustration and patience — after all, Rockstar is known for releasing polished masterpieces, and few want to see a rushed GTA.
Analysts believe the delay could benefit competing titles such as Watch Dogs 4 and Cyberpunk 2077: Redux, which now have a bigger launch window.
Still, anticipation remains sky-high, with the next gameplay trailer expected in early 2026.
