The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) just got a little longer. According to recent reports from Rockstar Games, the highly anticipated masterpiece has faced another delay. While fans were hoping for a 2025 launch, the new timeline points toward late 2026.
In this article, we break down the latest news on the release date, gameplay features, pricing, and the platforms it will support.
1. GTA 6 release date delayed: Why the Delay?
Rockstar Games has reportedly moved the GTA 6 release date to November 19, 2026. Initially, the plan was to launch in 2025 or early 2026.
Why the delay? Rockstar is known for its high standards. They want to ensure the game is perfectly "polished" and bug-free at launch. Taking extra time to fine-tune a massive open-world game like Vice City is a classic Rockstar move to maintain quality.
2. Trailer 2 and New Gameplay Mechanics
The release of Trailer 2 has given us a deeper look at our main protagonists: Lucia and Jason. The chemistry between these two characters is expected to be a central part of the story.
New Leaks & Features:
Stealth Mechanics: New leaks suggest that players can now perform "prone crawling," making stealth missions more realistic.
Healing Items: Items like painkillers will be added to the game to manage health during intense shootouts.
Advanced AI: The "Wanted System" has been upgraded. Police AI is now smarter and more tactical, making escapes more challenging.
3. Pricing and Platforms
How much will GTA 6 cost? According to former Rockstar developers, the base price is expected to be $70 (approx. Rs. 21,000). Considering the scale of the game, this is now the standard for AAA titles.
Supported Platforms:
Consoles First: GTA 6 will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
PS5 Pro: Good news for Pro users! The game is expected to run at 60fps on the PS5 Pro.
What about PC? Unfortunately, PC players will likely have to wait about a year after the console release, possibly until late 2027.
4. The Map: Returning to Vice City
The game is set in a massive, modern-day Vice City. The map is rumored to be significantly larger than GTA V, featuring diverse environments, from neon-lit streets to rural swamplands. The level of detail in the world-building is expected to set a new benchmark for the industry.
Conclusion: Should You Believe the 2027 Rumors?
There are rumors on social media claiming the game might be delayed further into 2027. However, there is no official evidence for this yet. As of now, November 2026 is the date to mark on your calendars.
