Take-Two Interactive reaffirms GTA 6's May 2026 release amid delay rumors

Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has reaffirmed GTA 6's May 2026 release date at its latest earnings call. The long-awaited next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto saga was targeting a Fall 2025 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but was delayed a few months ago to May 26, 2026.

Notably, leaker Millie A had suggested that the title might be pushed back further a few months. While nothing had been hinted at officially, there was some concern among gamers. Nevertheless, Take-Two's confirmation of GTA 6 hitting its planned release date should come as relieving news.
