GTA 6 fans are afraid of another delay coming in, after the game was initially delayed to 2026.
Last month, after a long road of silence, Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 is delayed to 26th May, 2026.
Along with the news of a delay, the publisher also released a second trailer and a large handful of screenshots to tide us over.
Although it seems like this date is now set in stone, and won’t be changing, GTA 6 fans are worried that Rockstar could induce another delay to the game.

“How would you feel if GTA 6 got delayed again,” wrote one post on the Grand Theft Auto Reddit page.
“Pain, terrible pain,” wrote the top comment.
“It doesn't matter if it gets delayed again,” wrote another reply. “What matters is the final product.”
“It’s happened for both GTA V and Red Dead 2. Both were slated to release in the Spring of the respective years they came out,” a third comment wrote.
“They were both delayed twice. My advice to you younger folks. Just don’t even think about it. I obsessed over GTA V for the two years in between the release date and the launch. Same with Red Dead. They both exceeded my expectations. It will be worth the wait.”
As for whether another delay is likely, it’s worth noting that Rockstar usually only delays games when they don’t have a concrete release date announced.
So the game could be delayed multiple times if it hasn't been given a specific date, but there’s very little chance that 26th May, 2026 date is moving.
Still, we’ve learned to never say never when it comes to these sorts of things. And if Rockstar feels the need to shift the GTA 6 release date for the good of the final release, it’ll do so.
