Grand Theft Auto 6 has not been delayed to 2026, yet

While Rockstar had announced plans to release Grand Theft Auto 6 on current-gen consoles in 2025, one source now claims that the game has slipped internally to 2026. 

A small GTA-focused content creator, @billsyliamgta, has claimed to have heard from multiple developers across two Rockstar studios that the game has been delayed to 2026. As this person works for a large GTA fansite, GTABase, a lot of fans have put stock in this rumour, but it may not be as reliable as some are perceiving.

When developers are looking to leak information, there is usually a bit of a cycle, where numerous members of the press will be contacted, rather than just one person. So far, the team at Insider Gaming, and other gaming-focused reporters like Jason Schreier, have not heard anything that would suggest a delay to the game.

In his own post on X, Jason Schreier clarified that while it is entirely possible that there could be a delay for GTA 6, based on Rockstar's track-record, so far, that information hasn't come across his desk.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still targeting 2025 for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 consoles. Rumours claim that Sony has already secured marketing rights for the game, so it should be part of a big push for PS5 and PS5 Pro console sales next year.

KitGuru Says: As most of us here at KitGuru are PC gamers, we'll likely be waiting until 2026 for this game anyway.
