Grand Theft Auto VI, the new game in the iconic Rockstar Games saga, has delayed its launch. It is one of the most anticipated titles by gamers around the world, after the success of the previous installment, GTA V. Unfortunately, we will have to wait longer to play it.
GTA VI arrives on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has officially announced that the new release date for GTA VI is November 19 of next year. The game will take six more months to arrive, and this is not the first time it has been delayed. In fact, GTA VI was originally expected to arrive during the year 2025.

Needs more time to be ready. Rockstar, in its statement, mentions that the reasons for the delay are that the company will take advantage of this additional half year to finish the development of the game and achieve “the level of quality that (fans) expect and deserve.” The company also thanks the players for their patience while waiting for the new game in the saga.
More than a decade. The latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto saga arrived on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in 2013, and a year later on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Therefore, players will have to wait thirteen years to be able to play a new title in the franchise. Furthermore, GTA VI was announced in 2022, so four years will have passed from its announcement to its release… as long as it is not delayed again.
What we know about GTA VI. The new game in the saga takes place in the city of Vice City. This is the same city based on Miami in which the plot of GTA: Vice City takes place, a title that arrived in 2002. The biggest difference is that that game was developed in the 1980s, and the new GTA VI takes place in the present and tells the story of a criminal couple, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
The game, of course, is an open-world action-adventure title, and will be available for both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
