GTA 6 to be delayed again by up to six months? Here's what we know

Former Rockstar animator Mike York said a six-month push would not be surprising, while Rockstar has not indicated any change to the current release plan.

  • GTA 6 remains officially set for release on November 19, 2026, despite speculation from former Rockstar animator Mike York that the studio could delay the title by six months.
  • Rockstar Games previously postponed the game from fall 2025 to May 2026, then to November 19, 2026, citing the need to meet fan expectations. The studio has not indicated another delay is under consideration.
  • York, lacking insider knowledge, based his assessment on past Rockstar experience, while publisher Take-Two Interactive has strong incentives for quality given predecessor Grand Theft Auto generated an estimated $8.6 billion.
  • If delayed, Polymarket suggests the launch could shift to May 2027. The title returns players to Vice City, introducing playable protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
  • Despite internal challenges and UK-based layoffs earlier this year, Rockstar continues posting strong financial results driven by the ongoing popularity of GTA Online, following Grand Theft Auto's $8.6 billion legacy.
