After years of anticipation and countless rumors, Rockstar Games has finally confirmed what millions of fans have been waiting to hear — GTA 6 is officially coming on May 26, 2026.
This marks the end of a 13-year wait since Grand Theft Auto V, and the beginning of a new era for the franchise.
Official Release Date: May 26, 2026
Rockstar Games announced the release date in an official press statement in 2025, confirming:
🔥 “Grand Theft Auto VI will launch worldwide on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.”
This is the first time Rockstar has ever revealed a release date this far in advance.
What We Know So Far
- The first trailer, released in December 2023, confirmed the setting: Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida.
- The game will follow Lucia and Jason, two protagonists in what looks like a modern-day crime story.
- Rockstar is promising the biggest and most immersive open world they’ve ever created.
Why This Release Date Makes Sense
Rockstar is known for launching their biggest games in the spring or fall:
- Red Dead Redemption 2 – October 2018
- GTA V (next-gen) – March 2022
- GTA VI – Now confirmed for May 2026
This gives them time for final polishing while still hitting before the summer season.
Will GTA 6 Be Delayed?
As of now, Rockstar seems confident in their May 2026 launch. But fans should always be cautious — game development is complex. However, with an official date set over a year in advance, it’s likely the studio is on track.
