Rockstar has today announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed again and will no longer release on May 26th, but will instead release on November 19th, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The announcement was made in a very short blog post which goes on to detail that the team need additional time to finish the game with a level of polish that players expect from Rockstar games.
“Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve. We want to thank you again for your patience and support. While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City. Sincerely, Rockstar Games”
Grand Theft Auto 6 has had two trailers so far, and we know that the story for the game will be as below:
“Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
We know that the game will feature Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park which all look super interesting and unique from the other locations in the game.
