Overview

• Co-creative director Nate Fox told MinnMax the team threw a party when GTA 6 was delayed, joking they are “still hungover.”
• Ghost of Yotei is slated to launch on October 2, 2025 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
• Rockstar confirmed in May that Grand Theft Auto 6 is now scheduled for May 26, 2026 to meet quality expectations.
• Coverage notes the delay gives Ghost of Yotei a clearer spotlight even as fall 2025 features heavy hitters like Borderlands 4 (September 12), Silent Hill: f (September 25), Battlefield 6 (October 10), Pokémon Legends: Z-A (October 16), and The Outer Worlds 2 (October 29).
• VGC highlights earlier reporting that publishers were hesitant to lock fall 2025 dates until it was clear GTA 6 would slip to 2026.
