It looks like the wait for the release of GTA 6 might be even longer than we anticipated.
According to a recent rumor, the release date for GTA 6, which Rockstar Games initially set for 2025, might be pushed back to 2026. This comes from Liam, a credible source from GTA Base, who previously predicted the release of the GTA 6 trailer before anyone else. The rumor is based on statements from “multiple developers” working in two separate studios, indicating that Rockstar might need more time.
GTA 6 Delayed: What’s The New Release Date?
Originally set for a release in the third or fourth quarter of 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game might now launch between early and mid-2026. While the delay isn’t massive, pushing the release by an additional year is bound to frustrate Grand Theft Auto fans.
The rumor also mentions the PC version of GTA 6 could arrive 12 to 18 months after the console versions. This means that PC gamers might have to wait until 2027 to dive into GTA 6.
Currently, Rockstar Games has not confirmed this information. The company is usually tight-lipped about rumors unless they are false. If this rumor holds true, Rockstar will likely make an official announcement about the delay instead of addressing a simple rumor.
What do you think about this potential delay? Stay tuned for more updates on the latest GTA 6 news and see what Rockstar might have in store for us.
