It was touted for a Fall 2025 release, but it unfortunately got delayed to May 26th, 2026. While Rockstar understands the disappointment of everyone, the Take-Two Interactive CEO has reassured fans worried about another GTA 6 delay with the statement that when Rockstar “set a specific date, that ends up being the date”. Take-Two CEO reassures fans worried about another GTA 6 delay There is understandable concern that another GTA 6 delay could happen. Recently, for Bloomberg, Jason Schreier covered that not only are players worried about the prospect of another delay, but so too are fellow developers and studios as they obviously want to give the new Grand Theft Auto as much of a wide berth as possible at launch so they don’t end up being a casualty of its unprecedented success. While there is always the possibility another delay could happen, Take-Two Interactive CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has suggested it won’t. Asked by The Game Business in a recent interview whyit was important to set a full release date for GTA 6 so far in advance, Zelnick responded, “Generally, when we set a specific date, that ends up being the date”. The CEO added, “we thought it was important to reassure people that it is coming, and picking a specific date emphasises that point. Asked whether Take-Two or Rockstar were “conscious of the wider industry needing some clarity around” the release date, Zelnick said, “I love that there’s that speculation going on. It’s flattering,” but “No-one has sent me any flowers”. The last question about GTA 6 was whether Zelnick is comfortable with how long it’s been since the last fully original Rockstar game. To this, Zelnick said “back in the good old days, or the bad old days depending how you look at it. We would work on a title, release the title, hope for the best, and then make another title. Now we have the opportunity for consumers to engage on an on-going basis with our hits”. Zelnick pointed out that, “In the case of Grand Theft Auto, we have Grand Theft Auto Online, and Rockstar has been supplying content to Grand Theft Auto Online, some of which is so robust that if you go back 15 years, it would have counted as a standalone title. One could really argue that Rockstar has been putting out a new Grand Theft Auto release a couple of times a year”. Whether you agree or disagree with Zelnick’s comments about GTA Online, the reassurance about the GTA 6 release date is good news for now. It’s still possible a delay could happen, but it’s good to hear that a specific date has been labelled because Rockstar and Take-Two are both confident.
