Rockstar Games has officially announced yet another delay for Grand Theft Auto VI, pushing the highly anticipated title’s release to 19 November 2026.
In a statement shared on the studio’s official X account on Friday, Rockstar said the additional months of development time would ensure the game meets the level of “polish” that fans expect from the franchise.
Why has Rockstar delayed GTA VI again?
“Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026,” the post read. “We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realise has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”
The developer also thanked fans for their continued patience and enthusiasm, adding that the team is “incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern-day Vice City.”
Previous launch timeline
The announcement marks another setback for what is arguably the most anticipated game of the decade. Rockstar had previously scheduled the release for 26 May 2026, following several earlier delays.
So far, the studio has released two official teasers, offering brief glimpses into the game’s expansive open world and characters. With the latest delay, fans will need to wait a few more months to revisit Vice City.
