Hi everyone, GTA 6 has been hit with delay number two

Hi all, GTA 6 delayed again. It is now scheduled to arrive on November 19, 2026, about six months after its May 26 landing date. last delay. November 19, 2026 appears to be a Thursday, in case you were wondering.

This latest delay was announced by Take-Two and Rockstar as part of the former's latest financial report. “We regret adding additional time to what we understand has been a long wait, but these additional months will allow us to finish the game to the standard you expect and deserve,” Rockstar said in a tweet. The tweet starts with “hi everyone”, which isn't funny, but my evening brain finds it so, mainly because the post reads like a substitute teacher announcing that a regular teacher is stuck in traffic until November 19, 2026, so could you all react to this news without falling into complete anarchy.

Anyway, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke with IGN about the delay that has left the much-hyped game about crime and love a full year behind its original target for a fall 2025 release. “Of course, Rockstar has our full support and we are confident that they will deliver an unparalleled blockbuster experience,” he said. Asked what had changed since he said he was confident in his original 2025 target, the chief executive added: “It's… it's all of 2025. We had more time to develop the game. And so we are getting closer to release. We are grateful that it is still in the same fiscal year. And most of all, we thank Rockstar for their continued pursuit of excellence.”

He also communicated with Gaming business. During that discussion, Zelnick emphasized that Take-Two is “feeling really good” about the new date, adding that while it's still a year away, the company is setting the date “not that far ahead if you look at when you have to release the game for it to come out.” In the meantime, according to the executive, Rockstar will continue to connect to GTA Online so people can make amends for their crimes/not so much love.

So, that's it. This latest delay comes on a day when protests took place outside Take-Two's London offices and Rockstar North's Edinburgh headquarters in response to the studio sacking around 30 UK staff for “gross misconduct”. Edwin reported. The IWGB union said it was in retaliation for trying to form a union, while Rockstar has since claimed that the fired employees shared “confidential information in a public forum.”
