GTA 6 has been pushed back once again — this time to November 19, 2026. Rockstar says it needs extra time to deliver the level of polish fans expect, meaning players will have to wait nearly six more months beyond the previous May date.

When the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date was still penciled in for May 26, 2026, many may have already said that next year's Game Awards race was already won. However, Rockstar Games recently made the heartbreaking announcement that it was pushing GTA 6 back yet again.

YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed, is upset about the delay of GTA 6. Recently, the release date for the highly anticipated online game was pushed back again, leaving him disappointed.

Rockstar's delay for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S also means the inevitable PC edition, which hasn't been announced, could come even later.

Rockstar delays GTA 6 again, igniting a wave of memes and frustration from fans awaiting the long-anticipated 2026 release.

Despite fan speculation linking Rockstar’s recent firings to the second GTA 6 delay, the timing appears to have a much simpler explanation.

GTA 6 will arrive six months later tahn intended, but at least we're getting some great memes in the process.

GTA 6 is such a black hole in the industry, any whiff of fresh news is sure to make fans everywhere poke their heads out of the ground like meerkats. And that's exactly what happened earlier this month when an update on GTA6's PS5 store page, which only added an ad for the GTA+ subscription service, sent fans into a minor frenzy.

Rockstar Games has denied accusations that its recent firings were due to workers' attempt to unionize, and instead, because they were of employees leaking company secrets.
