I have to say, 5/26/26 has a great ring to it. That's the official GTA 6 release date that Rockstar Games announced on Friday, seemingly out of nowhere. While it's exciting news for Grand Theft Auto fans eager to find out when the highly anticipated installment will be available, it's also a bit of a letdown since it means Rockstar is delaying the GTA 6 release.
Before Friday, there wasn't even a release date. Take-Two CEO and Chairman Strauss Zelnick said he wanted the GTA 6 release date to remain a mystery until closer to launch to maximize the game's hype. Fans are eager to play it, and there's been plenty of speculation in recent years.
Also, before Friday, most people expected the sequel to launch this fall. Now we all know that it's been delayed, but at least fans have a concrete release date to look forward to.
