GTA 6 was delayed twice. The first delay moved it from the originally announced 2025 window, confirmed in Trailer 1 on December 4, 2023, to May 26, 2026. Rockstar announced this shift in early 2025 without specifying a season. The second delay came later, pushing the release to November 19, 2026, which is the current confirmed release date.
Delay timeline
- Original window: 2025
- First delay: to May 26, 2026
- Second delay: to November 19, 2026
Both delays were publicly communicated via Rockstar Newswire posts. The company has not called November 19, 2026 “final,” so another shift is technically possible, though none has been announced. Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, after the second delay was confirmed, and the game remains digital-only for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced.
