GTA 6 may get delayed: Here’s when it could launch

It looks like it could take longer than a year’s wait before players get their hands on Rockstar Games’ highly awaited GTA 6. Though officially announced for a Fall 2025 release, the GTA 6 launch could get pushed to mid-2026, as per the claims of X-verified user Liam @billsyliamgta. Liam posts mostly on GTA and other Rockstar Games titles. As per Liam, the information was sourced from “multiple devs across two studios”.

Liam also claims that the GTA VI PC version will be launched 12 to 18 months later than the GTA VI console version. That pushes the claimed GTA VI PC version release to the second half of 2027 or early 2028.

But Jason Shrier of Bloomberg thinks otherwise. In a tweet on X, he said: “I want to be very clear: Six staff told me they weren't *informed* of a delay. For all I know, Rockstar's executive team could have decided months ago to delay GTA VI without telling the company. But the lack of internal announcement suggests that the Twitter rumor was nonsense.”

Take-Two Interactive or Rockstar Games have also not confirmed the claims regarding the GTA 6 launch delay. Without any solid proof to back the claims, it would be best to take the “exclusive” claims of @billsyliamgta with a pinch of salt.
