GTA 6 Delayed Again! What Rockstar Isn’t Telling You
Why Is GTA 6 Delayed?
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI won’t be hitting consoles until May 2026, nearly a year later than initially promised. According to official statements, the delay stems from a need for “additional polish” and to ensure the game meets the studio’s incredibly high standards. Internally, sources suggest development bottlenecks and quality control are major contributors. After over a decade since GTA V, Rockstar is under pressure to deliver a game that redefines open-world storytelling.
When Can We Realistically Expect GTA 6?
Although May 2026 is the new official release date, many in the gaming industry remain skeptical. Rockstar’s history of pushing deadlines raises concerns that further delays are possible. Still, with the second trailer already released and marketing in motion, 2026 is likely the real deal, barring any major setbacks suggested by T3.
