GTA 6 has been delayed again. The latest reports indicate a new release window of November 19, 2026, after earlier delays that had moved the date from 2025 to 2026. This means the game’s launch is now planned for late 2026, with official statements from Rockstar/Take-Two confirming the date and citing polishing and refinement as the reason for the extra time.
Key takeaways
- New official date: November 19, 2026.
- Previous window adjustments: originally aimed for 2025, moved to 2026 (May 2026, then November 2026).
- Rationale given by the publisher/rockstar: extra development time to reach the expected level of quality.
