Grand Theft Auto VI hit with new delay

November 6, 2025

Rockstar Games publicly apologizes to its fans before declaring another delay for Grand Theft Auto VI. The game will now launch in late 2026.

Its previous delay was for the same reason, which makes the game one of the most anticipated releases for the developer to get right. Rockstar will provide more updates closer to the game’s new release date of November 19, 2026.

Hi everyone,

Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.

We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and… pic.twitter.com/yLX9KIiDzX
