GTA 6 has been delayed from its previous fall 2025 release date to May 26, 2026. But while the GTA 6 2026 release delay might come as a surprise to many, the people actually making the game at Rockstar have reportedly been seeing the writing on the wall for quite some time.
"Nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed Fall 2025 was a real window for a very long time now," according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, posting on Bluesky. "Too much work, not enough time, and what appears to be a real desire from management to avoid brutal crunch. GTA VI slipping to 2026 has seemed inevitable for months, if not longer."
