Details of the possible delay
Tom Henderson has reaffirmed that GTA 6 will not be released in May, as some rumors suggested. According to his sources, the most likely date would be October 2026, coinciding with a strategic launch on PC and next-generation consoles.
The insider explains that Rockstar is very perfectionistic and needs additional time to polish the gameplay and the game's final presentation. This approach also aims to ensure strong commercial performance during the holiday campaign.
Advantages of the delay
- Game refinement: More time to improve gameplay and graphics.
- Strategic launch: October allows for taking advantage of the holiday season.
- Adaptation to new platforms: Possible version for PC and next-generation consoles.
When to expect the official announcement
Henderson indicates that the announcement could take place in November of this year, which would allow for confirming or disproving the rumors. If everything goes as planned, players will have more than a year of waiting from the initially scheduled date.
