Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fans are growing increasingly skeptical about a possible delay for GTA 6, following rumors suggesting that the game’s launch may be pushed back to 2026. While Rockstar Games has remained silent since December 2023, assumptions increased after a report emerged on August 8, 2024. According to @billsyliamgta, a reliable source in the gaming community, the game has been internally delayed based on information from multiple developers across two Rockstar studios.

GTA 6 was originally expected to launch in 2025, but it is now rumored to release in mid-2026. Additionally, there is speculation that the PC version could be pushed back even further, potentially arriving 12 to 18 months after the PlayStation 5 release, which might extend its availability to 2027 or later.

Although Rockstar has not confirmed these rumors, they have sparked dissatisfaction and discontent among fans, who have expressed their apprehensions on social media platforms. One user, reacted to the news with a teary-eyed emoji, symbolizing the general mood within the community.

Adding to the rumor’s credibility is Liam of GTA Base, known for accurately foreseeing the reveal of the GTA 6 trailer. He also mentioned that Rockstar may require additional time to polish the game, which aligns with the information about a possible delay.
While the official release window remains the third or fourth quarter of 2025, fans are now bracing for a longer wait. Until Rockstar Games provides an official update, these reports remain unsubstantiated, but they have certainly stirred anxiety among the gaming community, which is eagerly awaiting more concrete details.
