The release date for GTA 6 has moved twice since the first trailer. Originally slated for 2025, the game was pushed to May 26, 2026, and then again to the current worldwide launch date of November 19, 2026.
Rockstar never used a seasonal label like “fall 2025” when announcing the first delay; they simply said “2025” in Trailer 1. The first postponement came without a precise date, while the second shifted the game from late May to mid-November of the same year. Both changes were confirmed through official Rockstar Newswire posts.
As of September 1, 2026, no further delays have been announced. The November 19 date stands, though Rockstar has not used the word “final” to describe it. Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, and the game remains digital-only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
