Effectively, it is official! Rockstar Video games has introduced that GTA 6 will probably be getting a delay to Might 2026, with the group insisting that extra time is required to “exceed” the expectations of the GTA fanbase.

GTA 6 now has an Xbox launch date of Might twenty sixth, 2026 for Xbox Sequence X and Xbox Sequence S.

“We’re very sorry that that is later than you anticipated. The curiosity and pleasure surrounding a brand new Grand Theft Auto has been really humbling for our whole group. We wish to thanks on your assist and your persistence as we work to complete the sport.

With each recreation we have now launched, the aim has all the time been to attempt to exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t any exception. We hope you perceive that we want this further time to ship on the stage of high quality you count on and deserve.”

This clearly frees up the Fall 2025 window for publishers who beforehand did not wish to compete with GTA 6, so maybe issues would possibly instantly look busier within the months to return. Sadly, Fable has already been delayed to 2026, so it’s going to be attention-grabbing to see how Xbox navigates its launch subsequent 12 months – undoubtedly not in Might!

It stings a little bit bit to know that we can’t be taking part in GTA 6 for one more 12 months, nevertheless it’s been 13 years of ready at this level, so one other 12 months is manageable. Let’s simply hope we get one other trailer sooner or later within the close to future.
