Grand Theft Auto 6 was twice delayed before settling on its current release date of November 19, 2026. While Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has said he is "highly confident" in that launch date, fans are anxious over the possibility of GTA 6 being delayed a third time, considering the scope of the project and a lack of new updates from developer Rockstar Games. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, however, has said that GTA 6 was not content complete the last he heard and could be delayed again, but added that the new release date felt more "real" and "solid".

Not every delay is a disappointment. In the release-driven world of video games, players naturally get bummed out when news breaks that a highly anticipated game (looking at you) gets pushed a few months. But as Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto said, "a delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is forever bad." And while the jury is out on whether or not he actually said this, there's no denying that a delayed game is among his very best.
