GTA 6 has been a long time coming, and one of the biggest questions in gaming right now is "When is GTA 6's release date?” So far developer Rockstar has been tight-lipped on the matter, only teasing a 2025 launch in its first GTA 6 trailer. But even that vague launch window may change as production woes could push it back to 2026, according to the latest rumors.
According to a new Kotaku report, the studio's current goal is to release GTA 6 in "early 2025," as previously rumored, but it's "becoming more and more likely" that a delay will push it to late 2025 or even 2026, sources with knowledge of the game’s development told the outlet under the condition of anonymity. Sources say a Fall 2025 release seems more feasible at this stage of development, but delaying the game until 2026 is also being discussed as a sort of “fallback plan” or “emergency” option if needed.
