Take-Two says GTA 6 is still on track for November 19, 2026. The publisher has reconfirmed the date on recent earnings calls, and CEO Strauss Zelnick has said he doesn’t expect another delay.
Why another delay is unlikely
- Pre-orders are live, with a fixed launch date and bonus deadline.
- A pre-load date is set: November 12, 2026.
- Marketing is underway, which publishers rarely start before a date is locked.
The two delays so far
- May 2025: from the original 2025 window to May 26, 2026.
- November 2025: from May 26, 2026 to November 19, 2026.

FAQ
Has GTA 6 gone gold?
Rockstar hasn’t announced it. Games usually go gold a few weeks before launch, so watch for news in late October or early November.
What about GTA Online for GTA 6?
Reports point to an online mode arriving after the main game, possibly in 2027. That’s Rumor until Rockstar confirms it.
