GTA 6 has been pushed back once again — this time to November 19, 2026. Rockstar says it needs extra time to deliver the level of polish fans expect, meaning players will have to wait nearly six more months beyond the previous May date.

Rockstar Games, the studio behind the legendary open-world series, confirmed last week that GTA 6 will not be arriving on its previously expected schedule.

When the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date was still penciled in for May 26, 2026, many may have already said that next year's Game Awards race was already won. However, Rockstar Games recently made the heartbreaking announcement that it was pushing GTA 6 back yet again.

Rockstar's delay for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S also means the inevitable PC edition, which hasn't been announced, could come even later.

As hopeful fans await Grand Theft Auto 6 while grappling with yet another delay, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has assured that Rockstar Games "will deliver an unrivalled blockbuster entertainment experience."

Rockstar delays GTA 6 again, igniting a wave of memes and frustration from fans awaiting the long-anticipated 2026 release.

GTA 6's previous release date was May 26, 2026, after getting bumped from a 2025 release earlier this year. The game has reportedly been in development since 2018, following the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 that year.

Rockstar Games and Sony haven’t confirmed anything official, but Dealabs leaker billbil-kun is back with some early details on the latest PlayStation Plus GTA 5. He claims that GTA 5 will be added to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on November 18. If you only have Essential, it won’t be available to you this time.
