Is GTA 6 delayed?
No — GTA 6 is not currently delayed. It is confirmed for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and as of May 2026 it remains on track for that date.
GTA 6 has been delayed twice. It was first teased for a 2025 window, then officially set for May 26, 2026, and finally moved to November 19, 2026 — the date Rockstar Games confirmed in November 2025 and has stood by since.
Rockstar attributed the moves to giving the game the time it needs, and Take-Two Interactive has publicly backed the November 19, 2026 date. As of May 16, 2026 there is no indication of a further delay, and the pre-launch marketing cycle is ramping as expected for that date.
This page is updated whenever Rockstar or Take-Two changes the date or comments on timing. If a further delay happens, it will appear here with the source and date.
