GTA VI: Delayed 'Till 2026 Hits a Nerve, Console Version Confirmed, PC Version Stays a Mystery
Buckle up, gamers, because your prayers for a new Grand Theft Auto might be answered, but you've gotta wait a painstaking three years more. Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will hit consoles on May 26, 2026, leaving PC gamers hanging with no official release date.
On its official website, Rockstar shared the news, stating:
"After much anticipation, the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is set for spring 2026.
"We understand this is later than many of you had hoped, but we assure you that the Grand Theft Auto team is working tirelessly to deliver the best gaming experience possible. Trust us when we say it's worth the wait.
"We acknowledge the dedication and patience of our fans, and we appreciate the excitement surrounding our franchise. When it comes to Grand Theft Auto, we always strive to deliver above and beyond expectations."
While the announcement brings a twist of frustration for some, it's no surprise to those in the industry who had been fearing a pushback for this blockbuster title. Grand Theft Auto VI was announced in late 2023, and a jaw-dropping trailer enthralled players, only to be followed by a 2025 release date that's now a lost cause.
The real bitter pill? Rockstar has yet to confirm if a PC version exists, but this is a safe bet, things might be always a slow burn for the PC faithful. That means a longer wait after 2026 for PC gamers, with uncertainty clouding the horizon.
Rockstar has stayed cryptic about the PC release, only promising more information "soon." So keep your eyes peeled for updates from the San Andreas crew about the Grand Theft Auto VI installation on your favorite platform. We'll be here waiting, along with the rest of the gaming community.
