Take-Two Interactive has delayed the release of “Grand Theft Auto VI” to May 26, 2026, after initially planning a fall 2025 launch. The delay extends the wait for the highly anticipated game, which has been in development for over a decade. Analysts expect “GTA VI” to be an instant hit, given the success of its predecessor, “Grand Theft Auto V,” which has sold over 200 million copies since its release in 2013.

“We support fully Rockstar Games taking additional time to realize their creative vision for Grand Theft Auto VI, which promises to be a groundbreaking blockbuster entertainment experience,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said.
