Video game publishers are clearing the final months of 2026 almost entirely, reshuffling their biggest releases to avoid landing anywhere near 'Grand Theft Auto VI'.

Rockstar Games has announced a second delay for Grand Theft Auto VI, moving its release date to November 19, 2026. The highly anticipated title was originally scheduled for fall 2025 before being postponed to May 2026.

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI, one of the most anticipated video game releases of the year, will now launch on 26 May 2026. The game was previously expected to arrive in 2025, following the release of its first official trailer in 2023.
