Third Delay Pushes Launch to November 19, 2026
The claim
Rockstar Games officially pushed GTA VI's release date back roughly six months, from its previously announced May 26, 2026 date to November 19, 2026, citing a need for more polish. Take-Two and Rockstar issued a direct statement apologizing to fans and framing the extra time as necessary for quality assurance, marking the third time the game's release window has slipped since it was first targeted for 2025.
