GTA 6, undoubtedly the most anticipated game in the gaming world, has been delayed once again. Rockstar Games ' social media platforms and Take-Two Interactive's latest financial report announced GTA 6's new release date as November 19, 2026.

"Hello everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will be released on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We regret asking for this extension on top of a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the quality you expect and deserve," Rockstar Games said in a social media statement.

However, this news doesn't seem to have gone down well with investors. Take-Two shares lost nearly $ 30 in value in the hours following the announcement. The company's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, emphasized that the delay was all about quality: "When we set a date, we believe in it. But if a game needs more time to launch in its best form, we give it that time. We support Rockstar's commitment to excellence."

This new date marks the second official delay for GTA 6. The game was initially slated for release in the fall of 2025, but was later pushed back to May 2026. Now, it's been pushed back to November 2026. This delay was actually expected. The company has taken a similar stance with its previous games.

Excitement for GTA 6 is greater than ever. Experts predict that GTA 6 will not only be the most significant gaming release in history, but also the most entertaining. The last game in the series, GTA V, released in 2013 and is still a top seller. GTA 6 is expected to sell over 40 million copies in its first year.
