The biggest gaming news of the day: Grand Theft Auto VI has officially been delayed to May 2026. While disappointing, the delay didn’t come as a surprise to many — including Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who predicted this months ago. Now, Schreier reports that even Rockstar developers never believed a 2025 launch was realistic.

According to his sources, the team was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work and lack of time. Management also reportedly aimed to avoid extreme crunch, making a delay “inevitable” as early as the start of the year.
Interestingly, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had still called the 2025 release “realistic” back in February — though he did admit delays were possible. Following the official announcement, Zelnick said he fully supports Rockstar’s decision.
Investors weren’t thrilled: Take-Two’s stock dropped over 6%, hitting $219.50. Still, prices had dipped even lower this past month, so the situation isn’t dire yet.

Take-Two expects record-breaking sales in 2026 and 2027 — with more GTA 6 news promised soon. Fans are now hoping that means a new trailer is on the horizon.
