GTA 6 Release Delayed: Console Launch in 2026, PC Gamers Wait Until 2028

GTA 6 Faces Another Delay: Console Release Set for November 2026

Rockstar Games has officially pushed back the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI release date. The console version will now hit shelves on November 19, 2026, instead of the previously expected May 2026 launch. For PC gamers, the wait just got even longer—rumors suggest they may not get to play until 2028. That’s right, you could finish college, change jobs, or even move houses before GTA 6 graces your gaming rig!

Fans React With Disappointment and Memes

The delay announcement came alongside some fresh gameplay footage, but that wasn’t enough to cheer up the fanbase. Frustrated gamers flooded social media with memes and sarcastic comments. Some joked that their future kids might play GTA 6 before they do. Others wondered if the game would be released on a PlayStation 7! Rockstar’s perfectionism is legendary, but this extra wait has certainly tested even the most loyal fans’ patience.

On the bright side, maybe this gives everyone time to upgrade their hardware or brush up on their driving (and getaway) skills. Either way, one thing’s for sure: when GTA 6 finally arrives, it’ll be a massive event in gaming history—no matter what year it actually launches.
