**New York, NY –** Rockstar Games has announced a significant delay for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), pushing the release date back to May 26, 2026. The game, initially slated for an autumn 2024 release, has been delayed by over a year, much to the disappointment of fans worldwide.

In a brief statement on their website, Rockstar apologized for the postponement, citing a need for additional time to meet their high standards of quality. The company acknowledged the immense anticipation surrounding the game and thanked fans for their patience.

The delay comes over a decade after the release of GTA V, one of the best-selling video games of all time with over 210 million copies sold. GTA V itself faced multiple delays before its eventual launch in 2013.

While details about GTA VI remain scarce, the game is expected to be set in Vice City, a fictionalized Miami, and feature a female protagonist, Lucia, as a key character in a major heist. A teaser trailer was released in December 2023, but little else has been officially revealed.

Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is scheduled to report its financial results on May 15th. The delay is sure to be a major topic of discussion during the ensuing question-and-answer session with analysts and investors. The extended wait will undoubtedly fuel speculation and further heighten anticipation for the eventual arrival of the next installment in the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto franchise.
