Recent rumours suggesting that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) might be postponed to 2026 instead of its initially planned release in fall 2025 have been circulating online. The speculation arose partly because Rockstar Games has not made any recent announcements about the game. Despite these rumours, current reports indicate that there is no confirmed delay at this time.
Jason Schreier’s Report on Rumors
On September 9, 2024, prominent journalist Jason Schreier addressed these concerns on X. Schreier shared that he had spoken with six Rockstar Games employees, none of whom had any information suggesting that the game’s release would be pushed to 2026. However, Schreier noted that a delay cannot be ruled out entirely due to the game’s scale and complexity.

Schreier reported that the employees he contacted did not have any knowledge of a delay. He pointed out that while the game’s ambitious nature could lead to a shift in the release date, there has been no official communication about such a delay. “It’s a big, ambitious game, and it could potentially slip,” Schreier stated. “There’s still too much time to make any definitive statements.”
