Grand Theft Auto 6 received another delay on Thursday, according to a post from publisher Rockstar Games. The highly anticipated open-world game will now launch Nov. 19, 2026. 

In the post, Rockstar Games apologized for the wait and said the game needs more time for polishing. 

"We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve," the company said. "We want to thank you again for your patience and support. While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern-day Vice City."

GTA 6's previous release date was May 26, 2026, after getting bumped from a 2025 release earlier this year. The game has reportedly been in development since 2018, following the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 that year.
