Grand Theft Auto VI Officially Launching May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games Confirms
In a highly anticipated announcement, Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch worldwide on May 26, 2026, exclusively for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. This news confirms the previously rumored delay from its original Fall 2025 release window, extending the wait for what is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time.
The news was shared directly by Rockstar via their official X account, where the developer expressed its commitment to delivering the highest possible quality, stating that more development time is required to meet and exceed player expectations. In their message, Rockstar apologized for the delay but emphasized that their priority remains focused on excellence, promising that the final product will reflect their dedication.
While disappointing, the delay is not entirely unexpected, given Rockstar’s long history of carefully timed launches and frequent release shifts. With a legacy that includes Grand Theft Auto V, which remains one of the best-selling games of all time, the pressure is immense—and Rockstar appears determined to ensure that GTA VI meets those standards in every aspect, from storytelling to technical fidelity.
No mention was made of a PC version or specific new gameplay details in this update, but Rockstar has stated that more information will be shared soon, sparking hope for a new trailer or detailed showcase in the coming months.
