Initially, in reality, the American company had announced that its new title would be available for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Grand Theft Auto VI It was going to be released on May 26th of the next year 2026 and they needed additional time to finish the game.
Now, Rockstar Games has announced a new postponement, until November 19, 2026, six months after the previous scheduled date, as detailed in a publication on the social network X. The total delay, therefore, already amounts to a year. Thus, some users sarcastically echoed the words uttered in May by Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive (the company that owns Rockstar Games): “Historically, when we set a specific date, we tend to be very good at respecting it.”
The video game studio once again regretted having to add additional time and admitted that “it’s been a long wait.” However, he explained, “these extra months” will allow them to finish the game “with the level of quality” that the players “expect and deserve”. Rockstar also shared some great insights into the experience users will enjoy as they explore Leonidas’ “vast estate” and return to “modern” Vice City. All in all, the Take-Two Interactive (T2)-owned studio concluded by thanking users’ “patience and support”.
