So, Grand Theft Auto 6 has been postponed. And it’s a significant setback.
Initially aiming for a fall 2025 release, Rockstar has now shifted it to a (albeit much clearer) date of 26th May 2026.
The positive aspect is that every publisher worldwide can now breathe easier. They no longer need to be anxious about GTA 6’s unexpected release date disrupting their strategies.
The downside is that the anticipation for GTA 6 persists, adding another year of speculation regarding when Rockstar might reveal more details. Spoiler alert: no one will ever truly know.
But how much does this delay affect you personally? Given GTA’s vast popularity, it’s easy to assume that many casual gamers will feel let down by this announcement — but are you among them?
