Rockstar Delays GTA VI Again, Sets Nov. 19, 2026 Release

Rockstar says the extra months are needed to deliver the level of polish players expect.

Overview

  • The new date is the second postponement, after an earlier shift from autumn 2025 to May 26, 2026.
  • Take-Two shares fell about 6.7% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
  • Hours before the news, protesters gathered at Rockstar’s Edinburgh office over the dismissal of roughly 30 workers, which the IWGB union calls anti-union and the company attributes to confidential leaks.
  • In quarterly results released the same day, CEO Strauss Zelnick said fiscal 2027 would reach record levels driven by GTA VI.
  • Take-Two reported more than 220 million copies of GTA V sold and highlighted hundreds of millions of views across the first two GTA VI trailers.
