Rockstar Games has officially announced that the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI will now be released on May 26, 2026. Fans had been expecting to dive into the vibrant and chaotic world of Vice City, a fictional version of Miami, much earlier this year.
In a statement, Rockstar expressed its dedication to exceeding player expectations, emphasizing the need for additional time to ensure the game meets the high standards that fans deserve. “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations,” the company stated.
The previous title in the franchise, launched back in 2013, set a high bar by generating over $8 billion in revenue, underlining the immense popularity and expectation surrounding the series. Rockstar’s commitment to quality suggests a hopeful outlook, indicating that the extended timeline could lead to a more polished and engaging gaming experience.
This delay, although disappointing for many fans, could ultimately result in a more refined final product that lives up to the legendary status of its predecessors. The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI only grows stronger as the release date approaches, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for their next adventure in the criminal underworld.
