The highly anticipated release of GTA 6 may face another delay, according to new reports surrounding GTA 4. Rockstar Games is rumored to be working on a port of GTA 4 for modern hardware, potentially releasing later this year. If true, this could impact the release schedule for GTA 6, which is currently set for May 26, 2026.
The possibility of the GTA 4 port releasing within the next year suggests that Rockstar is nearing completion on the project. If the port comes out later this year, there may be no impact on GTA 6’s planned May release.
However, if the GTA 4 port is delayed into 2026, it could force Rockstar to push back GTA 6 to avoid overlapping the two major releases.
Though GTA 4‘s release might seem unlikely after GTA 6 arrives, a port could serve as a holdover for fans, filling the gap until the new game’s release. Regardless, the timing of the GTA 4 port’s release could provide critical clues about the fate of GTA 6’s May 2026 launch.
While nothing is officially confirmed yet, there are concerns that GTA 6’s release might be delayed, especially due to the extensive bug testing required for a game of its scale. Furthermore, the development of GTA 6 Online could influence the game’s release schedule.
Rockstar may prefer to launch both the main game and the online mode together, unlike previous releases with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
As of now, GTA 6 remains scheduled for May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but fans should keep an eye on the situation for potential changes.
