Tonight, sixth November 2026, Take-Two Interactive revealed its newest monetary report, and it had some fairly giant revelations in regards to the upcoming recreation GTA 6. The headline information: as an alternative 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 offer “some further time to complete the sport with the excessive stage of polish gamers count on and deserve. Rockstar has our full assist in fact, and we’re assured they are going to 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 under). In actual phrases, which means 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 identical fiscal 12 months. And principally we’re grateful to Rockstar for consistently searching for perfection.
“We really feel actually good about this launch date. It is in the identical fiscal 12 months, it occurs to be a terrific launch window, and naturally we’re actually supportive of Rockstar’s strategy.”
It appears each buyers and most people do not share this identical sense of optimism, as inventory continues to fall as I am penning this story.
GTA 6 is at the moment anticipated to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Collection X/S on its new date of nineteenth November. And there is little doubt it’ll 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 most likely not unreasonable to imagine its massively anticipated sequel will handle to do this after which some.
