Somewhere in Burbank champagne corks are popping as Rockstar Games announce that Grand Theft Auto VI – which was due to arrive at the same time as The Mandalorian & Grogu next May – has now been pushed back to 19th November, meaning the single biggest threat to the first original Star Wars film in seven years has now moved away where it will clash instead with the new Hunger Games film. It also means that when Mando lands on 22nd May 2026, there are no major new releases following it until 5th June when Masters of the Universe arrives.
“Grand Theft Auto VI” has been delayed again by Take-Two Interactive’s Rockstar Games, this time pushed six months from its previously set May 2026 release date.
Along with its July-September quarterly earnings results Thursday, Take-Two announced the much-anticipated action-adventure open world title will now launch Nov. 19, 2026.
In a letter to shareholders accompanying the financial results, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick did not give a reason for the “GTA 6” delay, but noted, “we remain both excited and confident they will deliver an unrivalled blockbuster entertainment experience.”
