- Fans expect another GTA 6 delay until 2027
- This comes after reports suggested that the physical edition would be delayed to avoid leaks.
- Grand Theft Auto 6 is still scheduled to release on November 19, 2026
Rockstar Games is still working hard to try to meet its new release date of November 19, 2026 for GTA 6after multiple delays following its initial announcement in 2022, and questions about the current roster are rampant.
How do we know? Well, we asked our readers via our TechRadar WhatsApp channel (available for the latest news and updates) if the long-awaited title will be worth the wait. This comes after two separate delays, with the latest pushing the release date back to 2026 (it was previously set for May 26, 2026), along with rumors that more delays could be in the works.
The overwhelming majority of votes (a significant 59%) are on the “ask me in 2027” side, suggesting that many believe there may be another delay in the future. This is not far-fetched either, as recent reports claim that Rockstar Games is planning to delay the physical edition of GTA 6 to avoid spoilers before all players can get their hands on it.
While that’s not exactly a delay for the game itself, many consumers intend to own physical copies of the games, and this move could leave most without physical copies as players will want to play from day one.
Additionally, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier recently reported that the last he heard of the highly anticipated game is that it didn’t have complete content. It should be noted that this is considered a normal occurrence for Rockstar Games, which explains why the final product is usually well polished, but it may not be enough to allay fans’ concerns about another delay.
While 22% of voters believe GTA 6 will be worth the long wait, a good number also believe it won’t, and based on the 59% of voters concerned about the delay, it’s enough to infer that Rockstar’s (arguably) most anticipated game may not live up to the hype.
Opinion: Another GTA 6 delay could be problematic
I have no doubt that Rockstar Games grand theft car 6 It will be an absolute box office success and will sell millions of copies on the day of its release. However, if another delay (especially a long one) is really coming, more questions arise about whether what the game has to offer was really worth waiting so long for.
In other words, the longer this game is delayed, there is a risk that Rockstar Games will miss the right moment to capture and utilize the hype, no matter how good it is. GTA 6 is.
For my part, that’s pure speculation: frankly, the game hasn’t started its full marketing campaign yet, and my tone could change drastically once that time comes. All Rockstar Games needed to calm concerns and frustrations after the first delay was a second trailer and plenty of gameplay screenshots to get the hype train rolling again.
I really hope that the November 19, 2026 schedule is final, and I’m sure everyone will be praying for a smooth development journey for the developers at Rockstar Games, so that we can all enjoy what has been anticipated for 13 long years.
