Grand Theft Auto 6 Delayed Until May 2026
The next entry in the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series is coming later than we all thought it would. This brings us to the latest news of Rockstar Games officially announcing that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed until May, and not in a year like we originally thought when it was revealed. Many players expected that it would release sooner though, so the news has come as quite a surprise to some.
Why the Delay Happened
This delay results for a few reasons. The reasons are twofold: Rockstar wants to ensure the game is as best quality it can be. Developers busting their ass to make something awesome. We want it all to be great, from the graphics right down to how the game feels. It is an additional time and effort-consuming process.
For second, the gaming sector has experienced a number of challenges in current years. The COVID-19 has changed the way people work for developers With that said, many teams not used to working remotely had to transition which basically stifled it all. Well, Rockstar is well aware of all this as it develops GTA 6.
What to Expect in GTA 6
The GTA 6 hype train soldiers on, despite a lengthy wait. The only detail that was shared along with the screenshot is this game will feature an enormous open-world, as we assume what’s expected from a Mafia. Almost definitely, the players will travel to new cities and we’ll meet interesting characters along this journey. The game will also come with enhanced graphics that Wiens says makes everything look more lifelike.
Rockstar is known for crafting deep narratives and vast worlds. Fans would be interested to know the other new features that are part of this update. There are reasonably high hopes in regard to online gameplay as well, given the rampant success of GTA Online.
Conclusion
It may be a hard pill to swallow for some that we now have more than 4 years before Grand Theft Auto 6 comes on May 2026 — the game might get delayed even further, this long time is crucial nonetheless. Fans should keep hope and wait for Rockstar to give them a game that lives up the series. Fortunately, those do at least exist for players to return and play over their rich stories (and tons of gameplay).
