Rockstar Games has long delayed Grand Theft Auto VI. The game was supposed to launch in fall 2025, but Rockstar has now confirmed it will release on 26 May 2026.
The company shared the update through its official website. Rockstar said the delay is necessary to meet player expectations. In their words, “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.” The studio added that they need more time to “deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.”
In December 2023, Rockstar released the first trailer for GTA VI. It showed that the game will return to Vice City and introduce Lucia, the series’ first female lead character. The story will follow a theme similar to Bonnie and Clyde.

Since the trailer, Rockstar hasn’t shared new gameplay footage or major updates. Fans have waited for more details, but the company has stayed mostly silent. However, Take-Two Interactive, which owns Rockstar, may reveal more information during its financial call on 15 May.
Despite the delay, excitement for GTA VI remains high. Grand Theft Auto V still draws attention even after 11 years. It recently topped Twitch’s most-watched games list in 2024, showing how popular the franchise remains.
Rockstar has not announced a second trailer or any new footage yet, but they promised to share more news soon. While fans have to wait longer, they now have a confirmed release date to count down to after years of speculation and hype.
