GTA 6 Was Originally Supposed To Be Out A Year Ago Before Facing 18-Month Delay

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said Grand Theft Auto 6 is now about 18 months behind its original schedule.

The game has slipped from a planned May 2025 launch to fall 2025, then May 2026, and now November 19, 2026.

The repeated delays highlight how much uncertainty remains around one of gaming’s most anticipated releases.

The update came as Take-Two discussed its earnings and the broader release schedule for Rockstar Games and GTA Online.
