The gossip network concerning Grand Theft Auto VI is once again buzzing, and this time it is implying that Rockstar Games could potentially delay the release until 2027. The spread of rumors has been fueled by social media posts and some accounts going viral, but no official announcement regarding any delay beyond 2026 has been made yet.
The current release date for GTA 6 set by Rockstar is November 19, 2026. The video game was originally planned for May 2026, but the studio changed the schedule a few months ago, the reason being that more time is needed for development in order to reach the quality standard set by the studio.
The 2027 delay claims recently reported seem to have come from questionable sources on the internet. A few posts on social media platforms suggested a later release than 2026, and soon these posts became widely known, causing a wave of anxiety among the fans. However, an industry insider named Reece "Kiwi Talkz" Reilly, who accurately forecasted the May-to-November change, has called these rumors untrue. Reilly said it was still too soon for Rockstar to decide on pushing back their deadlines further.
Rockstar has given very little information over the years about the development of GTA 6. The company has always taken the approach of delivering a perfect game rather than frequently communicating to the public. In earlier releases, Rockstar has made it clear that the new schedule is simply a means of making sure that the game lives up to the expectations of detail, scale, and refinement.
GTA 6 is a game that not only has the typical sequel's significance. The series has set sales records and cultural milestones in the gaming world. The number of copies sold of GTA V only has surpassed 190 million, making it one of the most selling video games ever. Rockstar has to live up to the expectations of a polished experience since with each release the Grand Theft Auto franchise changes the landscape of open-world gaming and entertainment in general.
The important points regarding GTA 6 up to December 2025 are:
- Rockstar has yet to declare any postponement to 2027.
- The verified date of release is November 19, 2026.
- Online speculation is still faster than verified information in terms of spreading.
Until an official update from Rockstar indicates otherwise, the release of GTA 6 is kept on track. Fans are warned to be careful with online rumors and understand that the studio’s main concern is to provide a quality gaming experience instead of accelerating the release.
