Grand Theft Auto VI, one of the most anticipated video games of all time, has been delayed, again \u2014 this time until November 19, 2026.<\/p>\n
The game was initially slated for a fall 2025 release but was pushed back to May 2026. On Thursday, Rockstar Games announced<\/a> that the development team needs another six months.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve,\u201d Rockstar Games wrote in their statement.<\/p>\n Grand Theft Auto VI is the sequel to Grand Theft Auto V, which was released in 2013. According to Guinness World Records, that game became the fastest entertainment property<\/a> to reach $1 billion in sales, hitting the milestone after just three days on the market. Fans are so eager<\/a> for the next installment in the franchise that when Rockstar Games released the trailer for the game in December 2023, it broke the record for the most YouTube views<\/a> in 24 hours (excluding music videos).<\/p>\n Rockstar Games did not provide additional details about the delay. Last week, the company fired<\/a> between 30 and 40 employees for allegedly sharing confidential information in a Discord server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
