After years of anticipation, Rockstar Games has finally given fans an official launch window for Grand Theft Auto 6 but not without disappointment. Originally expected to release in late 2025, GTA 6 is now scheduled to arrive on May 26, 2026. While delays are nothing new in the gaming world, this one has stirred mixed feelings across the community.
Why the Delay Might Actually Be Good News
Let’s face it no one likes to wait, especially when it comes to something as hyped as GTA 6. But this delay might not be such a bad thing. Rockstar reportedly needs extra time to polish the game and ensure a smooth, bug-free experience at launch. In an age where many AAA games release half-baked and broken, a bit of patience might pay off big.
Still, the studio is playing it safe, and fans are being told to pray for the best, prepare for the worst. It’s a fair warning. While May 2026 is the new target, the possibility of further delays can’t be ruled out.
Tough Luck for PC Gamers
While console players at least have a date to look forward to, the same can’t be said for the PC crowd. GTA 6 is currently confirmed only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The PC version? Nowhere in sight. Based on Rockstar’s past pattern, we might not see it until 2027 or even 2028.
And if the delayed train keeps chugging along, that window could stretch even further. In short, if you’re a PC gamer, it’s going to be a long wait again.
What Do You Think About This Delay?
We’ve all been holding our breath for Grand Theft Auto VI and just when things seemed to be getting closer, Rockstar hit us with another delay. Some fans believe the extra time will help polish the game into a true masterpiece, while others are tired of waiting and losing faith in the hype.
