Grand Theft Auto 6 Delayed Again: Now Expected in May 2026
A New Setback for Fans
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI, originally expected in 2025, is now scheduled for release in May 2026. This marks another delay in the launch of one of the most anticipated video games of the decade.
Why the Delay?
According to Rockstarβs official statement, the delay is meant to ensure the game meets βthe highest standards of quality and performance.β Insiders suggest that the massive scale of the game, which features a return to Vice City and two protagonists inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, demands more time for optimization across platforms.

Fans are understandably frustrated, with social media abuzz with mixed emotions. While many expressed disappointment, others welcomed the extra time if it leads to a smoother, bug-free experience at launch.

What We Know So Far
- Setting: Modern-day Vice City
- Characters: Two main playable protagonists
- Platforms: Likely to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and eventually PC
- Gameplay: Rumored dynamic weather, evolving cities, and a living open world
Whatβs Next?
Rockstar is expected to release more details in late 2025, possibly including gameplay footage or another trailer. Until then, fans will have to wait and hope that this is the final delay.
