Expect PC Release In 2028 Now!

Story Highlight
  • Rockstar Games has finally spoken about GTA 6 for the first time since 2023.
  • The team has confirmed that the game will launch in 2026.
  • Everyone in the development team is doing their best to impress the fans when the game finally comes out.

GTA 6 was first shown to the world in 2023, and Rockstar Games spent over a year in complete silence afterwards. Multiple months of 2025 also went by without a single update, but fans were hopeful that the game would be available before the end of the year.

Rockstar Games finally shared an update today, and everyone’s worst fears have come true. GTA 6 has been officially delayed to 2026.

Why it matters: Take-Two and Rockstar Games previously expressed confidence in the 2025 release target, but history seems to be repeating itself.

According to an update posted by Rockstar Games, GTA 6 will now be available on May 26, 2026. This marks more than a full year’s delay, pushing the title to the second quarter of 2026.

Rockstar Games has apologized for its silence for so long and thanked the fans for their patience. The team has also promised to use this time to polish the game and deliver an experience that lives up to fan expectations.

Moreover, the developer is looking forward to sharing even more information in the coming months.

Although the delay is certainly disappointing, this likely means that a new trailer should arrive within the next few months. With a proper release date now locked in, Rockstar Games can focus all its efforts on marketing around this date.
