Has GTA 6 Been Delayed to 2026?

As a seasoned gaming enthusiast with over two decades of immersive experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest GTA 6 delay rumors have left me both skeptical and amused. With a career spent navigating through the labyrinthine world of game development and journalism, I’ve learned to take such whispers with a grain of salt.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve heard whispers about the potential delay of GTA 6 from its initially announced 2025 release date to 2026. But, I can’t help but wonder about the credibility of these rumors.

A recent speculation about Grand Theft Auto 6 emerged from user @billsyliamgta on a social media platform (previously known as Twitter). This individual suggested that the game has been pushed back internally to 2026, allegedly based on information from several developers across two different studios. At this point in time, no one with a reliable track record has verified Liam’s assertions, which is somewhat unexpected given the significance of GTA 6 and the potential impact of such a delay on gaming news.

It’s puzzling that the initial statements are unclear since they mention “several developers” as their sources. However, it’s perplexing that there’s no confirmation from reliable sources, especially considering that significant news involving multiple developers typically means they’ve shared information with more people or at least other developers within the studio have been in touch with different individuals to disseminate the information. Yet, for now, it appears that this isn’t happening.

Jason Schreier, widely regarded as one of the top investigative journalists in his field, has hinted (in my view) that there’s no current delay as of now. On the topic of X, Schreier stated, “Many are misinterpreting this as ‘Jason confirms there’s no delay,’ but all I said was that I never commented on it.” However, due to the nature of reporting, Schreier (and any reliable journalist) cannot openly declare that there is no delay at present, as circumstances can shift, particularly given we are still approximately 14-15 months away from its planned release date.

From my perspective as a fan, it’s quite unusual to consider the current situation without taking into account the initial rumor. Instead, let me ponder this from another angle: Would a reliable news source publish an announcement like, “GTA 5 is set for release in 2025,” when we’ve already been informed that GTA 6 is slated for 2025? It seems unlikely. The reason lies in the fact that such a report would not bring any new value to the table and would make the reporter appear rather foolish if there were indeed any delay, since we know that GTA 6 is planned for release in 2025.

To set the record straight, I must clarify that I’m unsure if GTA 6 has been delayed. I haven’t contacted anyone regarding this matter, and no one has contacted me either. However, a rumor about a potential delay has surfaced, but I personally think there’s no evidence to confirm it at the moment. Keep in mind that Rockstar Games’ history does hint at possible delays, but as of now, it appears that a decision about a delay for GTA 6 hasn’t been made yet.

So, let’s just wait for the next GTA 6 rumor to pop up because it’s only a matter of time.

GTA 6 is officially scheduled to release in 2025 on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
