The anticipated release of GTA 6 has been postponed to 2026-11-19 from a previously set date of May. The development teams are still working on completing levels and missions, according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
Development Status
Schreier reports that GTA 6 is not content complete yet. Teams are finalizing game components and making decisions on what will be part of the final product. Despite hopes to enter a bug-fixing phase soon, new additions are common in later stages, complicating release timing.
Financial Implications
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company, might have a financial buffer if the November date is missed, as their fiscal year closes in March 2027. Although a minor delay could occur without major financial consequences, Rockstar may opt for a later release to avoid launching a flawed game, which could negatively impact Take-Two's stock.
