Grand Theft Auto VI was postponed once again; it was initially scheduled for May 26, 2026, but its new release date is Nov. 19, 2026. The postponement was announced on Nov. 6 shortly after Take-Two fired 30 to 40 UK and Canadian employees for allegedly distributing confidential information in a public forum.
According to the official social media post from Rockstar Games, the delay will allow the developers to “finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.” The reasoning uses vague wording to validate the extension. Grand Theft Auto VI was first scheduled to be released in 2025 and is one of the most anticipated video games in the industry within the past decade.
Rockstar Games is seeing pushback through unionization from its workers and previous employees. After the firing mentioned before, the former employees began protesting outside the UK offices, denying responsibility for the leaking of company secrets and claiming they were laid off without warning or proper evidence.
