GTA 6 Release Delayed Again: Gamers Left Heartbroken as Launch Pushed to November 2026
Well, gamers, it’s official, our dreams of cruising through Vice City anytime soon have been carjacked again! Rockstar Games has announced yet another delay for Grand Theft Auto VI, now set to release on November 19, 2026. That’s six more long months of memes, speculation, and heartbreak for a community that’s already been waiting over a decade since GTA 5 dropped in 2013.
So, Rockstar says it needs “more time to polish the game,” but at this point, fans might need therapy more than the game needs polish. The delay marks the second major pushback, and while we get it, perfection takes time, patience isn’t exactly a gamer’s best stat.
So buckle up (again), because the road to Vice City just got longer. Maybe by the time GTA 6 finally launches, we’ll all own flying cars in real life.
Hi everyone,
Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
