GTA 6 Delay Rumors Return — But the November Release Still Stands

Fresh speculation is once again raising questions about whether Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive on time. For now, however, the official release date has not changed.

What is happening?

New reports on August 29 point to online rumors suggesting that development may be less advanced than expected. These claims are linked to reportedly leaked material and have renewed fears of another delay. Importantly, they remain unverified and should not be treated as confirmation of a schedule change.

The official position

Rockstar Games continues to list November 19, 2026 as the launch date for GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Publisher Take-Two also reiterated the November date in its latest financial results earlier this month.

Bottom line

Despite today’s renewed speculation, there is currently no official announcement of another GTA 6 delay. Until Rockstar or Take-Two says otherwise, November 19 remains the date to watch.
