WhenGTA VIwas finally unveiled last year alongside a 2025 release window, fans couldn’t quite believe they were just over one year away from the nextGrand Theft Auto. Alas, it would appear 2025 is now an optimistic outlook amid rumoursRockstar Gamesis currently behind schedule.

While the 2026 delay appears to be the nuclear option, it’s worth noting senior staff are apparently worried itisan option at all. With that said, I’m fairly confident I speak for most of us when I say we’ve waited this long forGTA VI, and if a 2026 release is what it takes to ensure staff aren’t having to crunch to get the game released and in a working state, that’s what it takes.

At present we’re all still waiting for the second trailer forGTA VI, which we’re assuming will give us a proper look at gameplay. I’d also have imagined this is where we’d get the release date set in stone, but if things are as in flux on that front as it sounds to be from the Kotaku report, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
