'GTA 6' is still scheduled to launch on 19 November 2026, Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick has reiterated in a fresh update, as rival publishers quietly move their own releases away from Rockstar Games' long‑awaited blockbuster.
For context, the November date has been circulating for months. In May, during an earnings call, Take-Two – the parent company of Rockstar – told investors that 'Grand Theft Auto VI' 'remains on track' to arrive before the end of 2026, effectively cementing 19 November as the internal target. Since then, industry calendars have begun to bend around it. Major releases that might once have fought for the crucial pre‑Christmas window are clustering in September and October instead, or slipping entirely into early 2027.
