[Unconfirmed] GTA 6 Delayed To 2026

I was just about to sleep and saw the tweet by Liam. He claims that the release of GTA 6 has been delayed to early-to-mid 2026 for consoles, with the PC version following 12 to 18 months later.

This rumor does align with previous reports from earlier this year, which hinted at a possible delay in the GTA 6’s development.

In March 2024, Kotaku reported that the initial target of an early 2025 release might be slipping, suggesting a more likely launch in Fall 2025 or even a potential postponement to 2026. However, it was later confirmed that Rockstar is aiming for a Fall 2025 release.

Several factors could contribute to these potential delays. According to Kotaku, tighter internal communication within Rockstar Games and challenges stemming from the company’s recent mandate for a full-time return to the office are likely contributing factors.

Moreover, there are rumors that Rockstar might be working on Red Dead Redemption 3 alongside GTA 6. Several unconfirmed rumors have surfaced, claiming that the development of Red Dead Redemption 3 is underway.

This could be another reason for a potential delay in GTA 6’s release, as the company might be focusing on one project at a time to ensure quality and avoid spreading its resources too thin.

Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed any delays for GTA 6. The company is known for making last-minute changes and adjustments, so it’s possible that the game could still be on track for a 2025 release.

Furthermore, Liam’s track record is not consistently reliable, so let’s wait for “official sources” to announce the delay.
