Insider reassures those fearing a GTA VI delay — he confirmed the distribution of keys and the review publication date

Now some have reconsidered their opinion and no longer fear a last-minute delay of the game.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The marketing campaign is already ramping up — in the real-world city of Miami, some locations have already been rebranded in the style of Vice City. However, some players still fear that plans might change at the last moment and the release will be delayed.

Now, insider NateTheHate, well-known in the gaming community, has spoken out. According to him, Rockstar Games has already begun sending out keys/review copies of Grand Theft Auto VI. The publication of the first reviews is expected on November 18, i.e., two days before the announced console release date.

It turns out that journalists and bloggers have three weeks to complete the main storyline of GTA VI, explore the open world, and engage in various activities.

Earlier, there were speculations that Rockstar Games, due to leak concerns, would not provide journalists with preview copies of Grand Theft Auto VI, but would instead organize a closed event and monitor its participants. It seems that proponents of this theory were mistaken.
