When will GTA 6 arrive?
In light of a new development that is causing a stir online, it seems that GTA 6 fans will have to be more patient as the developers have once again delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Now, the new GTA 6 release date is November 19, 2026.
The latest postponement of the release of GTA 6 has caused a mix of frustration and optimism among fans. The studio announced the delay through its social media channels, explaining that the team needs more time to polish the game and deliver the quality expected from one of the world’s biggest gaming franchises.
These extra months are crucial to ensuring GTA 6 launches without any major bugs, glitches or technical issues, the company said, emphasizing that delaying GTA 6 now will prevent bigger issues from arising later. This guarantee highlights the studio’s commitment to maintaining high development standards.
GTA 6 delay timeline
GTA 6 has been officially postponed twice.
- GTA 6 Original Launch Window: Fall 2025
- First date reviewed: May 2026
- New release date for GTA 6: November 19, 2026
This ever-lengthening timeline adds to the game’s already long development cycle, as GTA 6 has been in the works for more than a decade, following the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, which sold more than 220 million copies and shaped the dynamics of modern open-world gaming.
The huge buzz around the GTA 5 sequel was evident when the first GTA 6 trailer was shown in December 2023 and broke online viewership records.
Will GTA 6 be exclusive to PS5 and not PC?
Much to the dismay of PC gamers, GTA 6 will be released exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar has confirmed.
Like previous GTA titles, the PC version of GTA 6 is expected to arrive later, although no official timeline has been announced.
