When is GTA 6 coming?
In light of a new development that is causing buzz online, it seems that GTA 6 fans will have to be more patient, as the developers have once again pushed back the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Now, the new GTA 6 release date is November 19, 2026.
The latest GTA 6 rollout delay has sparked a mix of frustration and optimism among fans. The studio announced the delay via its social media channels, explaining that the team needed more time to polish the game and deliver the quality expected from one of the world’s biggest gaming franchises.
These extra months are crucial to ensuring GTA 6 launches without major bugs, glitches or technical issues, the company said, emphasizing that delaying GTA 6 now will prevent bigger problems from popping up later. This assurance underlines the studio’s commitment to maintaining high development standards.
Timeline of GTA 6 delays
GTA 6 has been officially postponed twice.
- GTA 6 original exit window: Fall 2025
- Date of first revision: May 2026
- New release date for GTA 6: November 19, 2026
This ever-lengthening schedule adds to the game’s already lengthy development cycle, as GTA 6 has been in the works for over a decade now, following the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, which sold over 220 million copies and shaped the dynamics of modern open-world gaming.
The huge hype around the GTA 5 sequel was evident when the first GTA 6 trailer was revealed in December 2023 and broke online viewership records.
Will GTA 6 be exclusive to PS5 and not PC?
Much to the dismay of PC gamers, GTA 6 will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar has confirmed.
Much like previous GTA titles, the PC version of GTA 6 is expected to arrive later, although no official timetable has been announced.
