Grand Theft Auto 6, widely regarded as one of the most highly anticipated titles in gaming history, has now been pushed back to May 2026. Originally expected to launch on consoles before the end of this year, the next installment in Rockstar Games’ blockbuster franchise faces a delay. Its predecessor, GTA 5, ranks as the second highest-selling video game ever and continues to maintain a strong player base, largely due to the enduring success of its online component.
Grand Theft Auto 6 was initially slated for a fall 2025 launch, following the debut of its first teaser trailer in December 2023. That teaser has amassed over 250 million views to date. However, the lack of further updates has fueled speculation that the game’s release could face another delay.
