The release date for GTA 6 has been officially set for May 26, 2026 by Rockstar Games, following a delay from the initially targeted Fall 2025 window. This has been confirmed by multiple industry sources and a direct announcement on Rockstar’s official channels[1][3][4][5][7][8].

This launch date applies to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. The release date for the PC version remains unconfirmed, but based on past Rockstar release patterns and industry analysis, PC players may have to wait until late 2026 or possibly even 2027 for their version[2][5][6].

The announcement of the revised release date was accompanied by Rockstar’s apology for the delay and assurance that another postponement is unlikely. However, industry insiders still urge cautious optimism, as major titles often face unexpected additional delays, and GTA 6 is described as Rockstar’s most ambitious project to date[5].

The first official GTA 6 trailer was released earlier than planned in December 2024 due to leaks, offering a glimpse at the new protagonists and a return to Vice City[1]. In May 2025, Rockstar released the second trailer alongside new screenshots and artwork, further building excitement and speculation within the gaming community[3].

Rumors and misinformation continue to circulate regarding possible further delays, new gameplay features, and edition pricing. While some insiders have speculated about a potential slip into September 2026, there is no official confirmation from Rockstar of any change from the May 26, 2026 date[3].

Additional details from dataminers suggest a potential age verification requirement for GTA Online or some of its features, but this too has not been officially confirmed[3].
