I assume we are on the verge of the marketing campaign to really start soon. November/December? with trailer 3, pre orders etc.

If, and a Big IF, they really launch the game in May 2026, they would start to announce more trailers and gameplay soon.
But it seems that it will be delayed to Fall 2026.

Rockstar never delays a game when they give an exact release date.... they have only delayed when it's a vague window like "Fall 2025" etc.
actually they did it once with GTA 4 but that was because they were worried about Halo 3
GTA VI is too big for them to be worried about any game competing with them

yep....obviously now a days it would be laughable but Halo 3 had huge anticipation
Is this for real? Insane to think about nowadays.

Doesn't matter how big it is. If it's not ready it's not ready. May is a long time away, so chances are they'll hit it, but shit happens.

Get the game out at the end of the lifecycle, release the PC version, sell online shark cards, release next gen patch version shortly after PS6/next box.
I would take a guess to meet that schedule, next spring or fall at the latest would be needed

I'm wondering if they're trying to get the online portion out at the same time and are using this extra time to polish the campaign.

I don't think they ever get worried about other games, but If I remember correctly, they wanted to polish a lot of details for a smooth release.

hopefully next week before the earnings call

The midnight release for that was one of the best times I've ever had. What a moment…I miss those days.
Pretty crazy that GTA VI is right around the corner. Can't wait!

With how successful GTAV online is, I would think two full teams would be working on both. They had no idea how big/profitable V was going to be, so it made sense to release the story then online. Or I could be completely wrong and they wanted people to get through the story while polishing the online portion. I'm curious, with streaming being the new driving factor, if streamers are more excited for the story or online portion?

You're going to see a lot of GTA RP streams when it launches.

Sep 17 2026 is the future official date, you heard it here first.
I wonder if this will be the last Big GTA release, clearly they want a forever online version, not to mention how AI will reduce dev times in 1-2 decades and flood the market with big scope games (if predictions are correct).

It's not happening in 2026.
At this point Rockstar's credibility's gone and they've got nothing to lose by pushing the date back further.
Eventually tech will become dated and they'd have to start over for another big release. Maybe 10-15 years?

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
1 year later PS6 release. 1 year later PC. Or depends on if they want to do Switch 2 release first and squeeze maximum money from gamers.

Wish I were as optimistic as you, but I can't and won't. With this industry you just never know. Plus Tom Henderson has heard rumblings from sources of his.
So let's hope those sources are dead wrong. The wait has been long enough.

I'm sorry but I wish to make all my days, weeks, months count. Year 2026 is much bigger than GTA6.

They probably delay it.

12 months you mean?

I expect it to be a normal single player game and GTA Online launches later. Like with GTA V and RDR2.

Literally makes no sense for them to do it or if they do it it will be just aftertought to online part.

Im super interested to see how this launch plays out. Does the Playstation userbase and an low level Xbox userbase allow the game to outperform GTA Vs launch or will Rockstar need the PC launch to make up the numbers.
The game is going to be huuuuge but to what level is yet to be seen.

Gamers roughly tripled since GTA5 launch and games instead of selling 3-4mil to be considered blockbuster sales now you need 10-15mil to be considered blockbuster.
And that's not considering China market which just added itself in last 3-5 years which can widely get games into stratosphere. Tough i assume gta6 will be banned there.

No game deserves the amount of hype GTA VI is getting.
The game won't bomb, but I wouldn't mind if it did.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see it delayed at least one more time.
