"It's official: Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed. The highly anticipated open-world game from Rockstar was originally scheduled for a May 2026 release, but it will now be out on November 19 instead. A game delay is never good news, but for Take-Two Interactive, the news saw its stock price temporarily drop while the industry calibrated itself for the later launch."
"GTA 6 is regarded as something truly special, a once-in-a-generation release that is being fueled by an absurd amount of hype. Even a simple YouTube trailer dominates discussions for days after it's released--and reignites interest in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers--and the delay has gotten a lot of responses from just about everyone with their finger on the pulse of the gaming community."
"Several analysts believe GTA 6 is the single most important game release of all time, and its predicted to sell 40 million units within its first year of release. At the same time, Rockstar has been criticized for firing dozens of employees allegedly leaking company secrets, but a labor union claims that the layoffs were part of a union-busting effort."
