Rockstar Games’s Grand Theft Auto VI, which was due to release on 26 May next year, has been delayed again, this time to the end of 2026. In the official message, developers have expressed that the iconic return of the series will happen on November 19, 2026.
Hi everyone,
Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
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.
We want to thank you again for your patience and support. While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City.
Sincerely,
Rockstar Games
Players could feel relieved when, in early February, Take-Two representatives assured that the release date would remain unchanged. They also stated that GTA VI would be available in both physical and digital versions.
The trailer is out! The long-awaited icon.
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the sixth main installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, following Grand Theft Auto V, which was released in 2013.
Taking into account the huge popularity of the series, the internet went crazy as soon as the very first trailer was released. So, what do we know about Grand Theft Auto VI?
Setting and characters
Returning to Vice City, we’re met with an extraordinary glimpse of an intricately crafted urban landscape. The trailer showcases a city teeming with vibrant nightlife, criminal undertakings, and… lots of alligators. After all, Vice City is largely inspired by Florida.
The story is going to focus on a new protagonist, Lucia. The trailer hints at a narrative akin to that of the legendary duo Bonnie and Clyde. We are more than sure that Rockstar won’t disappoint, as the glimpses of the narrative already look promising.
Are we going to see characters from previous GTA installments? We have to wait until the release to learn more details, but it would be more than great to see at least references from other GTA games.
The latest trailer and updates highlight one of the defining features of every GTA game: a compelling cast of diverse, memorable, and complex characters.
GTA 6 introduces two central protagonists: Jason Duval and, for the first time in the series, a female lead, Lucia Caminos. Her character description reads:
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk.
Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands. Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan — no matter what it takes.
Here is how Duval is described on the official website:
Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder. Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new. Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he’d like it to turn out, but right now, it’s hard to tell.
Other characters include many diverse personalities that embody the spirit of GTA6. Those include mafia bosses, music stars, tech specialists, and more.
Multiplayer
The popularity of GTA multiplayer activities has been undeniable, making it highly likely that GTA 6 will also introduce online servers. However, Rockstar didn’t share any details on this matter, leaving us eagerly awaiting any news on the subject.
Release date
Unfortunately, the bad news is that we won’t get to experience Grand Theft Auto 6 anytime soon. The trailer has disclosed that the next highly anticipated chapter in this iconic series is slated for release around 2025. Unfortunately, at the beginning of May 2025, Rockstar officially announced that GTA 6 won’t premiere this year. The good news is that the developer revealed an exact date. We will return to Vice City on May 26, 2026.
“We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game,” the company’s statement reads.
Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of GTA, has announced that GTA 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. While details about a PC release have not been disclosed, it is highly likely that the game will eventually make its way to computers in the future.
