Many have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, trying to anticipate a release date so much that there are now memes about it. GTA VI might be one of the most hotly anticipated games of all time, enough that its announcement of its cover art is enough to stir excitement among fans; it’s also been delayed twice, leaving fans anxious about it releasing on time. For those tracking GTA VI’s release date, they may be left worried given that Rockstar appears to have scrubbed any mentions of its November 19th release date from the game’s official website. Some are fearing this may spell problems down the line for the game’s release, however others are taking this as a sign that the game is set for a November release date.
It is not without warrant to have anxiety over changes to GTA VI’s release date. As previously mentioned, it has been changed twice- originally planned to launch in Fall of 2025, it is now seeing a November 2026 release date.
However, not everyone thinks this is a sign of another delay. Some fans think it’s Rockstar just adjusting their focus onto the June 25th pre-order launch, avoiding promoting two different dates on the same webpage. This makes more sense when accounting for the fact that the blog post detailing the November 19th launch date is still on the website, signaling that Rockstar is not planning to make any major changes this time around. After years of waiting, this is a good sign for eager fans who may have had some anxiety over the scrubbing of the launch date today on GTA VI’s website.
It is unclear how long Rockstar has been working on GTA VI, but they first announced work on it in 2022. People have been eagerly awaiting since then, and some have even leaked details of the game online to stir interest and speculation.
