Grand Theft Auto fans will have to wait longer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, now set for release on May 26, 2026. Rockstar Games announced this delay on May 2, 2025, disappointing many who expected the game this year.
- GTA 6 release delayed to May 26, 2026.
- Rockstar aims for high-quality game experience.
- Analysts predict $6.35 billion in sales.
- First female protagonist, Lucia, introduced.
- CEO supports additional development time.
- GTA 5 sold over 200 million copies.
In their statement, Rockstar expressed regret for the postponement, emphasizing their commitment to quality. “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations,” they stated. This dedication to excellence has made the franchise a global phenomenon, with GTA 5 selling over 200 million copies since its 2013 launch.
This delay raises questions about the potential impact on the gaming industry. Will the anticipation lead to even greater sales upon release? Analysts from Wedbush Securities predict $6.35 billion in sales for fiscal year 2026, down from earlier estimates of $8 billion, yet they believe the delay won’t affect lifetime sales.
- GTA 6 could redefine blockbuster game launches.
- Increased anticipation may drive higher initial sales.

As fans eagerly await the new release, the gaming community will be watching closely for updates. Will the extended wait be worth it? Only time will tell.
