How do you feel about Rockstar delaying GTA 6 to November 2026?
GTA 6 Delayed to Late 2026 Amid Labor Controversy and Holiday Strategy
Rockstar Games has officially delayed the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI to November 19, 2026. Originally expected in May 2026, the studio says the delay will allow for additional polish and a more strategic holiday launch. However, the news coincides with controversy: over 30 employees were reportedly fired amid unionization efforts, prompting criticism from labor advocates. Set in the fictional state of Leonida—based on Florida and Vice City—GTA 6 introduces two protagonists and will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not yet been confirmed. While some fans are frustrated, others support the move if it means a better final product.
