Rockstar Games is reportedly delaying the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI to 2026.

The rumor comes from GTABase reporter Liam, who previously broke the news about the release date of the upcoming game’s announcement trailer. He claims that the news comes from a number of developers from two different studios and adds that GTA VI will now be releasing some time between early ti mid-2026. He also alleges that a PC release is currently scheduled around 12-18 months after the game’s availability on consoles.

Rockstar’s most recent announcement as of writing still puts GTA VI’s release date scheduled for Fall 2025, and the studio is yet to respond to the reports.

The highly-anticipated game will feature its first female protagonist in the character of Lucia. Additional information is yet to be announced.
