Is GTA 6 Getting Delayed Again?
Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series have been eagerly waiting for GTA VI since its official announcement. However, the wait might be even longer than expected.
Earlier this year, Rockstar Games confirmed that GTA 6 had been delayed from its original Fall 2025 release to May 26, 2026. Now, a reliable leaker suggests that another delay could be coming.

What’s Causing the Possible Delay?
According to GameRoll, a well-known GTA insider who accurately leaked details about protagonists Jason and Lucia before the second trailer, the game’s final chapter is facing major development hurdles.
In a recent Discord post (via Dexerto), GameRoll claimed:
- The later parts of GTA 6’s story are being reworked.
- The final chapter has been stuck in “development hell” for a while.
- A significant portion of the ending was cut, forcing Rockstar to rewrite and redesign parts of it.
GameRoll previously stated that GTA VI would have five chapters, but the trailers have only shown content from the first half. This could mean the latter parts of the game are still unfinished, potentially pushing the release further back—possibly to late 2026 or even 2027.
Should Fans Be Worried?
While this leak comes from a credible source, it’s important to note that GameRoll’s information is secondhand (from a friend of a Rockstar developer). Rockstar has not officially commented on any new delays.
However, if true, this could mean another frustrating wait for fans who have already endured over a decade since GTA V’s release.

What’s Next?
For now, all eyes are on Rockstar for an official update. If development issues persist, we may hear about a delay later this year. Until then, fans can only hope that the May 2026 release date holds.
