Islamabad, May 3, 2025: Gamers, brace yourselves — Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), originally set for Fall 2025, will now hit shelves on May 26, 2026.
While the delay stings for millions eagerly awaiting the next chapter, experts suggest this extra time could mean a groundbreaking leap in game quality.
According to Rockstar’s latest press release and social media updates, the team needs additional months to polish the experience and exceed fan expectations.
Given the immense success of GTA V, which sold over 190 million copies globally, it’s no surprise the studio wants to get every detail right.
Industry insiders point out that with major competitors like Cyberpunk 2077 suffering from rushed launches, Rockstar is wise to prioritize quality over speed.
This is the first official delay since GTA 6’s reveal in December 2023, though fan speculation about timeline slips had been swirling for months.
The wait feels even longer as nearly 11 years separate GTA V from its long-awaited sequel — making GTA 6 one of the most anticipated games of the decade.
