Nevertheless, no confirmation for Switch 2 has been made yet.
Rockstar Games has revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for launch on 26th May, 2026.
Indeed, it’s no longer projected for this year. This isn’t entirely shocking, to be honest, but at least we have a definitive date now. Clearly, what remains uncertain at this moment is whether the game will make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. We hope to receive full confirmation soon.
Here’s the complete statement from Rockstar Games:
Grand Theft Auto VI is now scheduled to arrive on May 26, 2026.
We sincerely apologize for this delay. The enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto title has been genuinely overwhelming for our team. We appreciate your continued support and patience as we finalize the game.
With each game we have launched, our aim has consistently been to surpass your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no different. We hope you comprehend our need for additional time to achieve the high quality you expect and deserve.
We eagerly anticipate sharing more details with you soon.
Knowing this release date should enable other developers to align their plans accordingly. It’s no secret that many are looking to avoid a potential competition with GTA 6, as it’s anticipated to be one of the largest media debuts of all time.
We will make sure to keep you updated on any further news in the upcoming weeks and months.
