A release date for Grand Theft Auto VI may finally be set, after years of speculation. Take-Two Interactive's chief executive Strauss Zelnick has told investors the publisher is 'highly confident' that the long-awaited title will launch on 19 November 2026. The statement marks what could be the end of one of gaming's longest waits.

The announcement follows a series of postponements for Rockstar Games' latest instalment in the franchise, which was originally expected in 2025. Take-Two said the extra time would help ensure the game meets the 'level of polish' players have come to expect from its studios. Zelnick told investors that the company has 'never regretted' delaying a major title to preserve quality and maintain trust with players.
