Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on May 26, 2026, and fans have mixed feelings.
The announcement came through a tweet on May 2, 2025, ending months of speculation. Players had hoped the game would arrive in late 2025 after the first trailer was released on December 5, 2023.
The post received thousands of reactions within minutes. While some fans are happy to have a confirmed date, many are disappointed by the long wait.
On X (formerly Twitter), fans voiced their frustration. User @ExtremeCars said, “At least give us trailer 2 then…” Others like @GTA6Countdown asked for more updates: “If you are gonna delay it, at least give us some screenshots.”
Some fans reacted with sarcasm and humor. @Làzaro wrote, “I screamed for a sec then I read 2026, now I’m crying.”
Still, a few fans supported the delay. @Milo posted, “More time in the oven is always better than releasing underbaked!! Appreciate the heads up – excited for launch next year!!!! <3”
Rockstar has not released a second trailer or new screenshots since the first trailer dropped. While the delay is disappointing, many fans hope the extra time means a better and more polished game.
As the hype continues to grow, players now look forward to more updates before launch.
