Rockstar Games has officially announced a delay in the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI, pushing the launch date to 26 May 2026. The update was shared via the company\u2019s Newswire platform, with the studio expressing gratitude for fans\u2019 support and patience while acknowledging the disappointment caused by the delay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In the statement, Rockstar said: \u201cHi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on 26 May 2026. We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The announcement, while unsurprising to some industry observers given the game\u2019s scale and ambition, quickly stirred a wave of reactions on social media platform X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A fan account named GTA 6 Countdown voiced frustration on the Rockstar Games\u2019 official announcement post on X, stating, \u201cIf you are gonna delay it, at least give us some screenshots. This marketing strategy may be working for you, but it is painful for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Another user, @DarrylRMFC_, responded more bluntly: \u201cI speak for everyone when I say, keep the game\u2014we don\u2019t want it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Others expressed their disappointment with a touch of dark humour. \u201cMaybe we ain\u2019t be alive then,\u201d wrote one user, reflecting the long wait that fans have already endured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
One comment in particular gained attention for its dramatic flair, with a fan claiming: \u201cI just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they\u2019re all spending the week at a hotel. This delay has ruined my life and my expectations. I can\u2019t handle this anymore. Goodbye Rockstar. I am no longer a fan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Despite the frustration, many fans remain hopeful that the additional development time will ensure a polished and groundbreaking entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. With Rockstar promising more updates \u201csoon\u201d, attention now turns to what new details\u2014or glimpses of gameplay\u2014the developer may share in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Amidst growing excitement, reports suggest that GTA VI may come with a higher price tag than its predecessors. According to a report by Digit, the standard edition of the game could be priced around approximately \u20b9<\/span>5,999, while special editions may cost up to around \u20b9<\/span>7,299. In international markets, prices could reach as high as approximately \u20b9<\/span>9,000, marking a significant increase compared to previous instalments in the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rockstar Games has officially announced a delay in the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI, pushing the launch date to 26 May 2026.
