"Games get delayed all the time, but there aren't many that can impact an entire industry's pipeline by getting pushed back a few more months. Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the few games that can, and the open-world crime drama has just been officially delayed until November 2026 , after already being delayed to next May from its originally planned 2025 release date."
"All of this posting through the pain comes just after Rockstar fired multiple employees in an act several called a union-busting tactic, while the studio claims the affected workers were leaking company secrets . Naturally, some are claiming this delay is a play to distract from those headlines, but I can't imagine a project of Grand Theft Auto 6 's scale being delayed solely to draw attention away from something like that. There's too much riding on it, and the game is already projected"
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been postponed to November 2026 after an earlier shift from its originally planned 2025 window to next May. The additional delay extends an already significant hold on the industry's release calendar and prolongs fan anticipation. Social media responses range from memes and jokes to frustration and disbelief. The announcement follows Rockstar firing multiple employees, an action some critics labeled union-busting while the studio blamed leaks of company secrets. Some observers suspect the delay could deflect attention from the firings, though the project's commercial scale makes a distraction motive seem unlikely.
