Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed to May 26, 2026

i know fans are sad but like i said the fact that other games can come out when they are ready and not get delayed for gta6 is a good thing.

Totally expected, and it may even go to Fall 2026.

90% chance it doesn't happen, but it would be incredible if it released simultaneously on PC.

They'll release this at the end of the current console generation, release it on PC and then again on next-gen consoles. Same as GTA V.

I was speaking to my cousin's son about videogames yesterday. Kid is 9 years old. I mention GTA and he was like "GTAV or VI"? And i was like "GTAV was the last one released. GTAVI will come out this year" (this was before the delay) and it hit me that GTAV came out 2 years before that kid was even born..and here i am talking about it with him, then he mentions how he wants to play it and their parents won't let him, lmao. Kids born when GTAV released (2013) will be teenagers when GTAVI releases next year. Let that sink in.
And by the time 7 comes out he'll be married with kids and we'll be in old folk homes lol.
 
Obviously working on Switch 2 version. :D
4k60 in handheld mode confirmed.

Yes, it is a 1080p screen, but R* will ship a special chip with the game that changes the entire pixel count of the Switch 2 screen, facts. Bookmark this

My cousins neighbor once was in a shopping mall with someone who knew a man who once bought a dog from a former R* dev, so trust me

It is taking 2.6x longer for GTA VI from GTA V than from GTA V to GTA IV.

If it takes 13 years for GTA VI from GTA V with a release date of 2026, and we assume the next GTA will also take 2.6x the previous iteration then:

2.6 x 13 + 2026 = 2060 GTA VII release year.

On the flip side, I expect a lot of summer game fest window announcements for release dates in Q4 now.

Most publishers are probably breathing a sigh of relief.

Im 36 now. If GTAVI releases in May 2026, i'll be 37. GTAV released when i was 23. If GTAVII takes 13 years to release...then i'll be...50 by the time GTAVII releases.

Why did you make me think about this? fuck...

You're joking but if this keeps up, 8 will release when i'm 63, not that close from retiring, lmao. (we'll never retire but that's something else entirely different)
 
Ahh yes, they indeed were making cuts to all woke content before coz realised it will make gta6 perfom below expectactions, sept to may is 8 months of delay, so not some tiny changes delay but major overhaul.

This game can be as "woke"as they want it to be and its still gonna sell like hotcakes

Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't paying attention

I was 21 when GTAV came out, will turn 34 in the week before this (might) release, urgh.


Anywho, that ~77 Day release bubble is about to get filled in quick...perhaps we even see some games getting announced very soon given the window is suddenly free (or even games already announced either side of it being pulled in):

Now people are just quoting different dates and ages. What's your point?

Do you know how old I was Mad Max 3 came out and how old I was when Fury Road came out? No? Why not? Is that not fascinating to you?

None of this means anything. All of you have more games to play than you could finish in multiple lifetimes.

It's such a delay that I need to wait a month to update my game release spreadsheet because we still haven't hit May 26, 2025 yet.

As it stands right now, favorites for GOTY 2025 are: Clair Obscur, Metroid Prime 4, MGS3 Snake Eater.

Guys, this is crazy. I just looked up the release date for GTA5 and it came out almost 12 years ago! Did you know that?

Don't worry. By the time you hit 50s, AI will be making games and you can play a new GTA everyday! It would have taken our jobs too, so early retirement for us all. What else is there to do than play?
 
I hate that people take as a given GTA 6 will win GOTY when it comes out but I personally believe it will be the biggest flop of the decade.
