ALBAWABA - Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed in a recent interview that Rockstar's GTA 6 is still set to launch this year in November after multiple delays to avoid a rushed and buggy launch.
As with previous titles, PC gamers won't get the game when it hits consoles on November 19. According to Vice, citing Zelnick, the delay is intentional so Rockstar can prioritize the game's core audience, who are console players.

In an interview with David Serna, the CEO confirmed the game's official release date and said, "It’s November 19, 2026. I do know. No, it’s been announced." Serna then asked Zelnick about the multiple delays the game has faced in the past, to which he replied, "It’s been pushed back, I think twice. I think we are about 18 months behind the original date. Not much more than that.” Finally, the executive went on to comment that Grand Theft Auto is the most “valuable entertainment IP ever created."
Many excited fans have been calling for the release of GTA 6's third trailer, sparking a debate regarding the upcoming game's map, gameplay, and content. While rumors claim that pre-orders might set sail this month on May 15, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson said that he won't be surprised if Rockstar pushes information about GTA 6 until July 6.
