Has GTA 6 Been Delayed to 2026? Will It Come Out in 2026?
GTA 6's trailer arrived and we were thrilled, but the rumors about the game just won't stop! While we were eagerly waiting to see the second trailer and planning to get our hands on the game in the first quarter of next year, our plans got thrown into the water once again! If you recall, in our last news piece about the game, we mentioned that GTA 6 could arrive in the first quarter of 2025. But new leaks are taking us right back to square one! Because now there's talk that Rockstar Games is drifting away from its targeted release date due to certain production and development issues.
Has GTA 6 Been Delayed to 2026?
So far, developer Rockstar Games has kept tight-lipped about this, only mentioning in the first GTA 6 trailer that the game will release in 2025. But according to the latest rumors, there's talk that production troubles could push GTA 6 back to 2026, changing its release date.
According to a new report, the studio's current target is still, as previously stated, to release GTA 6 "in early 2025," but according to sources, a delay pushing it to "late 2025 or even 2026" is "becoming increasingly likely." Sources say a Fall 2025 release looks more fitting at this stage of development, but a delay to 2026 has also come up as a kind of "backup plan" or "emergency" option if needed.
