It’s official: Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed. Fans have been counting the days, but now they’ll have to wait even longer. Rockstar Games just confirmed that the highly anticipated game is now set to drop on May 26, 2026.
Why the delay? Rockstar’s keeping it real, saying they need more time to make sure the game is up to their legendary standards. As they put it, “This additional time will ensure it meets the quality players expect.” And, honestly, can you blame them? After all, it’s been nearly a decade since the last GTA release. Fans are hungry.
This news comes straight from Rockstar’s official sources, with major outlets like The Verge and AS.com breaking the story. They’re calling it a “humbling” delay, but hey, we’ve all been there. Sometimes, you just need a little extra time to make sure things are perfect.
So, what can we expect from the game? Set in the fictional state of Leonida (basically Florida), GTA VI will feature a brand-new female protagonist, Lucia. Yes, you read that right—GTA is leveling up. And, of course, the iconic Vice City is back, so expect all the neon-lit chaos you can handle. Rockstar’s also hinted that the storyline will be inspired by infamous partners like Bonnie and Clyde. So, buckle up, because it’s going to be a wild ride.
The new release date has definitely sent shockwaves through the gaming world. But hey, we’ve waited this long—what’s another year? Rockstar Games promises it’ll be worth the wait, and after all this anticipation, we’re holding them to it.
Stay tuned, folks, the streets of GTA VI are coming… just a little later than expected.
