Grand Theft Auto 6 release date punted to May 2026 - CBS News

🔍 Summary:

The highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed until May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games announced, pushing back the launch date from its expected release later this year. The company expressed regret for the delay but emphasized its commitment to delivering a game that meets and exceeds fans’ expectations. The delay is attributed to the developers’ desire to ensure the game achieves the highest quality standards.

Grand Theft Auto, a best-selling series, has not seen a new release since GTA 5 in 2013, which sold over 200 million copies. Despite the delay, analysts believe GTA 6 could be the most profitable launch in entertainment history, though immediate revenues might be impacted. Wedbush Securities adjusted its sales forecast for fiscal year 2026 from $8 billion to $6.35 billion, but it expects the delay to not affect the game’s lifetime sales.

The upcoming game will feature its first-ever female protagonist, Lucia, and is expected to retail at $80 or more. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick supports the decision for the delay, stating it allows Rockstar Games to fully realize their creative vision for what is anticipated to be a groundbreaking experience in the entertainment industry.
