GTA 6May 26, 2026

GTA 6 Was Originally Supposed to Launch Today. Here's What Actually Happened to May 26, 2026.

Today, May 26, 2026, was the day GTA 6 was supposed to ship. Rockstar set that date themselves in May 2025. Then in November 2025 they delayed the game to November 19, 2026, sent Take-Two shares sharply lower after-hours, and rebuilt the entire launch calendar around the new date. Here's the full timeline of how May 26 stopped being release day.

GTA 6 Could Outearn 2026's Five Biggest Movies' Opening Weekends in Three Days. Here's the Math.

GTA V did $815 million in 24 hours and crossed $1 billion in three days, the fastest entertainment product in history. GTA 6 launches November 19 with a Bloomberg-cited 25 million day-one consensus.

Are Lucia and Jason GTA 6's Bonnie and Clyde? Here's What Rockstar Has Actually Said

Every gaming outlet is calling Lucia and Jason GTA 6's Bonnie and Clyde. Fans pinned Trailer 3 to today, May 23, because it's the actual anniversary of Bonnie and Clyde's deaths in 1934.

Here's what Rockstar has officially said about Lucia and Jason's relationship, what's pure fan projection, and what the real Bonnie and Clyde story does (and doesn't) match.

Xbox Just Broke 11 Months of Silence on GTA 6, One Day After Zelnick Said Marketing Is Coming

The official Xbox account on X posted about GTA 6 on Friday, May 22, the first time the platform has surfaced the game since June 25, 2025.

GTA 6 Trailer 3 Rumored for Tuesday, May 26: Why This Leak Is Worth a Second Look

A GTAForums user who correctly debunked the Best Buy pre-order leak is now claiming Rockstar has locked Tuesday, May 26 as the release date for GTA 6's third trailer.

Zelnick: GTA 6's Marketing Won't Look Anything Like GTA V's, and It Won't Need Much Network TV

Hours before Take-Two's Q4 FY26 earnings call, Strauss Zelnick told GamesIndustry.biz that GTA 6's marketing will be 'significant' and 'broad based', but very deliberately not built around the network-TV ad-buys that defined the GTA V rollout in 2013.
