GTA 6 is coming later than previously planned. On November 6, 2025, Rockstar announced November 19, 2026 as the new launch date, replacing May 26, 2026. This announcement concerns another delay to the game itself, rather than just the sale of an accessory or one particular edition.[1]
Rockstar allows more time for completion
Rockstar says the additional months are for finishing and polishing the game. That states the purpose of the delay without naming a single technical fault as its cause. The revised date also does not identify which part of the game is still being worked on. Those development details are not itemised in the checked announcement.[1]
From 2025 to May, then November
The original announced release window was 2025. On May 2, 2025, Rockstar then set May 26, 2026 as the launch date. The new November announcement replaces that already revised schedule. Our report on the first delay remains available as a historical article, showing the plan that applied at the time and what changed afterwards.[2][4]
Which versions does the date concern?
The official platform listing names PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The story centres on Jason and Lucia, the two leads whose failed score draws them into a conspiracy across Leonida. The game’s database entry provides current information. This article specifically records the November 6, 2025 scheduling decision and the background known for that announcement.[3]
