Fri May 02 20:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Grand Theft Auto VI Delayed Until May 2026
**New York, NY** – Rockstar Games has announced a significant delay for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI). The game, originally slated for a Fall 2025 release, will now launch on **May 26, 2026**.
In a statement released today, Rockstar apologized for the delay, attributing it to the need to meet the high standards expected by fans. “The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling,” the statement read. “We want to thank you for your support and patience as we work to finish the game.”
The announcement comes over a decade after the release of GTA V in September 2013, making GTA VI one of the most anticipated video games in history. While a teaser trailer was released in late 2023, no new gameplay footage or images accompanied today’s release date announcement.
Rockstar promises to share more information about GTA VI “soon,” hinting at the possibility of new trailers or gameplay reveals in the coming months. The lengthy delay, however, is sure to disappoint many eager fans who have been waiting years for the next installment in the critically acclaimed franchise.
