Grand Theft Auto 6's Delay Unsets the Gaming World
In a surprising twist, the much-anticipated drop of Grand Theft Auto 6, initially set for fall 2025, has been pushed back to May 26, 2026. To put it bluntly, the news hasn't been welcomed with open arms. Gamers, analysts, Take-Two shareholders, PC Gamer senior editor Rich Stanton – they're all feeling the sting of this shift. But it's not all doom and gloom for everyone…
Take, for instance, Luke Dale. Known for his role as Henry's sidekick Hans Capon in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Dale has displayed an uncanny enthusiasm for this delay. GamesRadar has caught on to Dale's eagerness, and it's not difficult to see why – Deliverance 2, after its successful critical and commercial launch in February 2025, is set to dominate the Game of the Year conversations. With GTA 6 out of the picture in 2025, it's going to be a Bohemian feast for fans like Dale, allowing the game to truly shine without the fearsome competition.
Dale's unconcealed excitement hasn't gone unnoticed on social media. While there might be others who share his sentiments, Dale is the only vocal advocate for this perhaps unexpected delight. The bright side? The problem of GTA 6 has merely been pushed forward, right?
It's important to mention that Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to confirm its PC release, and with the extra development time now in the mix, some are concerned that PC gamers might only get their hands on it in 2027 or even 2028. If anyone's unhappy about the delay, it definitely isn't Rich Stanton.
