GTA 6 Launch Plans Confirmed – May 2026 Release with Massive Twitch Partnership

Rockstar Games has officially set May 26, 2026 as the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This ends years of speculation following the game’s infamous 2022 leaks and delayed trailer. While a PC version remains unannounced, Take-Two Interactive is preparing a massive marketing push worthy of what Twitch’s monetization chief calls “the biggest game of our lives.”

Twitch Partnership: Rewriting Game Launches

In an unprecedented move, Twitch will collaborate with Rockstar “from the start” to transform GTA VI’s launch:

• Single-Player Focus First: Initial campaigns will highlight the story mode
• Roleplay Revolution: Official support for RP communities post-launch
• Creator Integration: Streamers to shape ongoing content strategies
• Multiplayer Blitz: Dedicated GTA Online 2.0 push later in 2026

Twitch CMO Mike Minton confirmed: “Creators revitalized GTA through roleplay. We’re building on that magic with VI.”

What We Know About the Game

Though details remain scarce, leaks and official hints suggest:

• Modern Vice City setting with expanded map
• Dual protagonists (including first female lead)
• Enhanced physics/destruction
• Next-gen AI systems for NPCs
• Revamped wanted system
