GTA 6 has been officially postponed by Rockstar Games for the second time. Reactions are disappointed and incredulous. Some say: This will not be the last delay.
GTA 6 has been officially postponed a second time. The release, originally planned for May 2026, has now been postponed to November 2026, a shift of half a year. The delay has surprised many people completely.
This is how the community reacts: On Reddit there is already a huge thread on the topic that Rockstar Games has officially postponed GTA 6. Many players are surprised, incredulous, and in a way also appalled. But the mockery prevails, with one joking: “Will GTA 7 be released before GTA 6 at this point?” And another adds: “I am convinced that the next Elder Scrolls will be released before GTA 6.”
Similarly, another user sees it:
They [the developers] shouldn’t have announced a date if they were going to keep postponing it.
And many fear that the release will be postponed even further. Some speculate that the release might be delayed even more significantly. Some are already mocking: “Can’t wait to play GTA 6 on PC in 2030”, referencing that GTA 6 should be released on PC only after consoles.
Community fears that many games could be hard hit by the delay
However, some users also say that primarily one group might be significantly affected by the delay: developers and publishers who deliberately postponed their game to fall 2026 to avoid the gigantic release. But now that is not going to happen because GTA 6 is moving into that space. Someone explains on Reddit:
Okay, the surprise came out of nowhere.
RIP to all games whose release was postponed to November 2026.
The whole postponement comes at a very inconvenient time for Rockstar Games: Because the developer is under massive criticism for poorly treating its employees. Rockstar is said to have fired dozens and there is a lot of criticism: Rockstar is under massive criticism for allegedly firing dozens of employees
