May 26, 2026. Instead of the previously targeted Fall 2025 launch, GTA VI is set to be out in a bit over a year from now. "We are very sorry that this is later than you expected," developer Rockstar Games said in a statement.

GTA 6 has finally had its release date announced, but it comes with the news that it's delayed until next year.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was slated to launch in the Fall of 2025. Rockstar has pushed back the game's launch by a sizable amount, not just a month or two. The company has said it will release the game on May 26, 2026. That's a significant delay of around six months, enough time to disappoint anyone hoping to play the game soon.
