- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke to IGN following the latest grand theft car 6 delay
- GTA 6 will now be released on November 19, 2026
- Zelnick is “very confident” in the new date
grand theft car 6 has received another delay that pushes the long-awaited blockbuster title from May 2026 to November 19, 2026. This is the second delay after the initial fall 2025 release window.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke with IGN before the company released its latest earnings call. When asked how confident he felt about the new release date of November 19, 2026, Zelnick responded that he was “very confident.”
Zelnick went on to explain the reasoning behind the latest push: “And at the same time, there have been limited circumstances where more time was required to polish a title and make sure it was spectacular and time was well spent, when our competitors come to market before something was ready, bad things happen.”
As the IGN article points out, Zelnick expressed a similar sentiment before a previous delay, when GTA 6 moved from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026.
When asked about the prospects of GTA 6 Delayed from its initial fall 2025 date, Zelnick responded, “Look, there’s always the risk of a slide and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you curse things,” adding, “So we feel pretty good about that.”
