Tonight, sixth November 2026, Take-Two Interactive printed its newest monetary report, and it had some fairly giant revelations in regards to the upcoming recreation GTA 6. The headline information: as a substitute of launching on twenty sixth Might, 2026, the sport has been pushed again about half a 12 months to nineteenth November, 2026. This has additionally been confirmed by tweets from the offical Rockstar Video games social media accounts.
Per Take-Two, this delay is designed to present “some extra time to complete the sport with the excessive degree of polish gamers count on and deserve. Rockstar has our full help in fact, and we’re assured they may ship an unrivalled blockbuster leisure expertise.”
This is not the primary delay the sport has seen this 12 months. Again in Might, it was confirmed that the sport had slipped from its earlier launch date into Might 2026.
Because of this information, we’re already beginning to see Take-Two inventory plummet. The story broke about 9pm UK time, and as of 9.35pm inventory has dropped by a large 8% (see picture beneath). In actual phrases, meaning Take-Two inventory is down about $30.
Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has spoken to IGN in regards to the delay: “We have had extra time to develop the title. And so we’re getting nearer to the discharge. We’re grateful that it’s nonetheless throughout the similar fiscal 12 months. And principally we’re grateful to Rockstar for continuously looking for perfection.
“We really feel actually good about this launch date. It is in the identical fiscal 12 months, it occurs to be an ideal launch window, and naturally we’re actually supportive of Rockstar’s method.”
It appears each buyers and most of the people do not share this similar sense of optimism, as inventory continues to fall as I am penning this story.
GTA 6 is presently anticipated to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Collection X/S on its new date of nineteenth November. And there is little doubt it will be massive, even with this new set-bacK: Take-Two confirmed earlier this 12 months that GTA 5 has now bought an astonishing 210m copies since its launch 12 years in the past, so it is in all probability not unreasonable to imagine its massively anticipated sequel will handle to do this after which some.
