Reports that GTA 6 could now be pushed back to 2027 have been addressed by a Rockstar Games insider, and it sounds like we can breathe easy for now.
For those that haven’t been keeping track, GTA 6 was originally announced to release on May 26, 2026. In October, Rockstar Games confirmed they needed to push the ambitious title back to November 19, 2026, leaving a lot of fans disappointed.
Could GTA 6 Be Delayed To 2027?
Stranger things have happened
It’s worth noting that we can’t officially rule out another GTA 6 delay. Anything could happen between now and November 19 next year. Rockstar Games is known for perfectionism, and another delay for a game already releasing so late in the year could easily see it slip into 2027.
The good news is that it’s currently too soon to say for sure the game will be delayed again. So anyone trying to suggest it has been? Well, they’re likely talking out of their butt.
Over on Twitter, Reece ‘Kiwi Talkz’ Reilly slammed the current rumours that GTA 6 has been pushed to 2027. For context, Reilly is a Rockstar insider who reported on the game’s delay from May to November before it was confirmed.
“This is total BS, I can confirm that GTA 6 is still too far out to determine if another delay is needed yet,” he wrote.
Between these rumours and the seemingly endless slew of AI trailers for GTA 6 being pumped onto the internet, it’s clear anticipation is reaching unsustainable levels.
“These people are just stirring the pot for engagement. If I hear rumblings of another delay I will let you know, but for now, stop believing this crap. Relax GTA fans,” Reilly signed off.
Why Was GTA 6 Delayed In The First Place?
It’s pretty simple, really
In a statement given last month, Rockstar Games explained GTA 6 needed to be pushed back to November to give the game an extra level of polish.
They wrote:
“We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”
For now, all we can do is sit back and be patient. GTA 6 will get here when it gets here. And if it does end up being delayed again? Well, we have no choice but to deal with it.
