Speaking to IGN shortly after the announcement (and the stock drop), the executive said the decision to delay the game was “the right call”, emphasizing that it’s ultimately for the game’s own good (and, of course, for the community’s expectations).

GTA 6 will arrive six months later tahn intended, but at least we're getting some great memes in the process.

Despite fan speculation linking Rockstar’s recent layoffs to the second GTA 6 delay, the timing appears to have a much simpler explanation.

YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed, is upset about the delay of GTA 6. Recently, the release date for the highly anticipated online game was pushed back again, leaving him disappointed.

Rockstar delayed GTA 6's release to November 19, 2026, citing the need for polish. This is the second delay, moving it from Fall 2025 to May 2026, and now to November 2026.

According to the live market data, there’s now a 48% chance that Bitcoin crosses the $1 million mark before the new release date up from 35% earlier this week. More than $1.27 million has already been wagered on the outcome, making it one of Polymarket’s most-traded pop-culture contracts.

Cyberpunk 2077 studio CD Projekt Red responds hilariously to the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 delay, poking fun at its own past mistakes.

GTA 6 has already been delayed publicly once, as the game was originally expected to launch right around now in Fall 2025 before Take-Two delayed it to May 2026. At the time, Rockstar said it needed more time to make a game that exceeded fan expectations. In fact, the game's second trailer was released exactly six months ago today on May 6, 2025.

GTA 6 fans will have to steel their nerves as they eagerly await one of the most anticipated video games of all time.
