The delay was almost predictable: Rockstar has pushed GTA 6's release to May 2026. The confirmation arrived through a blunt statement lacking platform details, trailers, or even fresh screenshots.
Rockstar fans recognize this pattern. The studio’s history of delays makes this setback for GTA 6 hardly shocking. Still, reactions blend disappointment with relief—and anticipation for another year of relentless, often absurd online speculation.
The GTA 6 subreddit—a hub for wild theories about trailers and release dates—erupted with activity after the announcement.
“Seriously, Rockstar? At least throw us a screenshot,” vented MyNameIsToFuOG, echoing widespread frustration over the lack of new visuals.
“This is absurd even for Rockstar,” agreed Abvk0. “Eighteen months of silence just to announce a delay without teasing anything?”
“A firm date helps,” reasoned bl00nded. “If delaying means polishing the game, I’m fine with it.”
“Come on, it’s Rockstar. Did anyone expect otherwise? I bet May 2026 isn’t final either,” skeptic Puzzleheaded-Hunt731 commented.
The delay also reignited debates about Rockstar launching GTA 6 simultaneously on PC and consoles. “Fingers crossed PC players won’t wait until 2027,” said Kiwibom.
“2026 for consoles, late 2027 PC, 2028 next-gen versions,” speculated Velkoadmiral.
IGN’s commenters weighed in too. BSideleau critiqued the current console era sharply: “No surprise. This generation feels like a half-step upgrade sold at premium prices. Consumers deserve better.”
Discussions also turned to pricing. With Nintendo and Microsoft charging $80 for select titles, fans expect GTA 6 to hit $80—or even $100 if bundled with GTA Online.
Rockstar’s vague “more info soon” tease fuels hopes for Trailer 2’s imminent arrival.
GTA 6 isn’t just poised to break entertainment records—fans demand masterpiece-level quality. Under immense pressure, Rockstar and Take-Two likely see this delay as necessary to deliver.
