When is GTA 6 coming?
In light of a new development creating buzz online, it looks like 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 delay in the rollout of GTA 6 has ignited a mix of frustration and optimism among fans. The studio announced the delay through its social media channels, explaining that the team needs more time to polish the game and deliver the quality expected of one of the world’s biggest game franchises.
These extra months are crucial to ensure GTA 6 launches without major glitches, bugs or technical issues, the company said, stressing that delaying GTA 6 now will prevent major issues from emerging later. This assurance highlights the studio’s commitment to maintaining high development standards.
Timeline of GTA 6 delays
GTA 6 has now officially been delayed twice.
- Original GTA 6 release window: Autumn 2025
- First revised date: May 2026
- New release date for GTA 6: 19 November 2026
This ever-expanding schedule adds to the game’s already long 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 surrounding the GTA 5 sequel was evident when the first GTA 6 trailer was teased 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 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar confirmed.
Like the previous GTA titles, the PC version of GTA 6 is expected to arrive later, although no official timeline has been announced.
