Fans will have to wait a bit longer to return to Vice City. Rockstar Games has announced<\/a> that Grand Theft Auto VI <\/em>has been delayed once again to November 19, 2026. The open world game was previously delayed from its 2025 launch<\/a> window to May 26, 2026 earlier this year.<\/a><\/p>\n

Take-Two, GTA VI<\/em>\u2019s publisher, does not appear particularly worried about the delay. \u201cWe said when we set the last date, if a game requires more polish to be the best possible version of itself, then we will give that game more time,\u201d Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in an interview with The Game Business<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>\u201cWe feel really good about this release date. It\u2019s in the same fiscal year, it happens to be a great release window, and naturally we\u2019re really supportive of Rockstar\u2019s approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

GTA V<\/em> was originally released<\/a> in 2013, and has been rereleased multiple times in the years that followed for two generations<\/a> of consoles<\/a>. The games remains incredibly popular, which is part of the reason Take-Two seems so certain about the sequel. It helps that Grand Theft Auto Online<\/em>, a multiplayer mode for GTA V <\/em>that can also be downloaded as a standalone game, is itself a hit. \u201cWe continue to supply content to GTA Online<\/em>, and in fact we\u2019ve had terrific results there. And GTA+ continues to grow its membership. In fact, it\u2019s had 20 percent growth year-over-year. And GTA V <\/em>has sold in more than 220 million units,\u201d Zelnick said.<\/p>\n

The long wait for a new GTA hasn\u2019t been without controversy. The game leaked extensively<\/a> in 2022, revealing that it would feature a female protagonist, a fact that was later confirmed in the first official trailer. And while Rockstar Games has reportedly attempted<\/a> to improve its company culture since GTA V<\/em> came out, the developer is currently being accused of union busting in the UK.<\/p>\n
