Grand Theft Auto VI was already arriving more than a decade after Grand Theft Auto V’s 2013 release, but the wait just got even longer.

WASHINGTON — Rockstar Games is delaying the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI until 2026. 

The sixth game of the cult-classic video game series was supposed to be coming out in fall 2025. 

In a statement, Rockstar apologized that the new release date of May 26, 2026, is later than many 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 said. “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.” 

The new release date means Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive nearly 30 months after the trailer debuted in December 2023. At the time, some analysts originally expected the game would arrive in the 2024 holiday season.

The first Grand Theft Auto hit store shelves back in 1997. Its soaring popularity lead to multiple sequels over the years — with much anticipation (and sometimes long waits) between each installment. Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive twelve-and-a-half years after Grand Theft Auto V’s 2013 release.

Avid Grand Theft Auto fans were able to learn a few things from the 90-second teaser — including that the next installment would be set in the Miami-inspired Vice City and star a female protagonist, a first for the franchise, named Lucia.
