GTA 6 hasn’t been delayed after all!
Since the announcement that GTA 6 would be released in the fall of 2025, gaming fans have been eagerly awaiting the game. However, recent rumors within the GTA community suggested that the game might be delayed until 2026. These claims sparked heated discussions on social media, but Rockstar Games has now reassured fans.
Where did the GTA 6 delay rumors come from?
The rumors started with a tweet from BillsyLiamGTA, a well-known figure in the GTA community. According to BillsyLiamGTA, based on information from two different Rockstar Games offices, the release date for GTA 6 had been pushed to 2026.
In his tweet, he stated: “EXCLUSIVE: GTA VI has been definitively delayed by Rockstar Games, with the release window set for early or mid-2026.”
However, these rumors were quickly addressed by Bloomberg writer Jason Schreier. Schreier, who has previously shared accurate information about GTA VI‘s setting, story details, and trailer announcement, is considered a reliable source in the industry.
Schreier responded by saying that he spoke with six Rockstar employees, none of whom were aware of any delay. He added, “Over the weekend, rumors about GTA VI being delayed exploded online (and in my inbox). The good news is that six Rockstar employees told me they haven’t heard of any delay. The bad news is the game is huge and ambitious, so a delay is still possible!”
In summary, you can rest easy for now: GTA 6 hasn’t been delayed yet. But the situation will likely become clearer with the release of the second trailer.
