The release of GTA 6 promises to be an industry-changing event. We are talking about the continuation of one of the biggest hits in the history of games. The release date of May 26, 2026 seemed like a global benchmark.
But will the game really be released on this day? Insider Tom Henderson noted in the Insider Gaming podcast that specific rumors are emerging about a release date delay.
"Honestly, I don't think it's going to happen in May; for some reason, I just don't see it. All the comments and rumors point to this," Henderson said.
The journalist suggests that Rockstar Games needs more time, and the game may only be released in the fall - most likely in October. Earlier, similar doubts were expressed by Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, who rarely makes predictions without good reason.
A possible delay would be a serious problem for the industry. Many studios are closely monitoring Rockstar's schedule, as a release date delay would require adjustments to plans. Some analysts note that GTA 6 may repeat the path of Red Dead Redemption 2, where there was also a second delay for finalization.
