As Rockstar itself has announced, GTA 6 is scheduled for release on May 26, 2026. However, many users online have serious doubts about the final release date. Fortunately, Strauss Zelnick decided to calm these disputes a little in a recent interview, expressing confidence that the game will most likely be released on schedule and that no new dates will be set. He told this to CNBC journalists, the video can be found at the bottom of the page.

“My confidence is very, very high,” Zelnick said in the interview. Considering how much fans are looking forward to the game's release, his words should cheer up impatient fans who can't wait to play Grand Theft Auto 6. However, it will only be available on consoles for now, as the game will be released for them first. PC owners will have to wait longer, and it is unknown for how long.

The game has been in development since 2014 and was supposed to be released in the fall of 2025, as many gaming publications reported. But the developers published an official post apologizing that players would have to wait longer than they wanted. In the same post, they also announced the release date: May 26, 2026.

The head of Take-Two gave more confidence that there would be no further delays. But only time will tell if this is actually the case. At the time of writing, there are still about nine months left before the game's release, and a lot can change in that time.
