Rockstar announced today, that in their committment to excellence, Grand Theft Auto VI needs more time in the oven and won’t be releasing until May 2026.

Little is known about Grand Theft Auto VI other than the single trailer that was released over a year ago. Rockstar apparently is not in a rush to release any more info about the game, claiming the hype and anticipation for GTA VI is already more than sufficient.

Every developer and publisher that has a big game coming out in 2025 is likely breathing a sigh of relief over this delay- except one. Devolver Digital wants to directly compete with Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto VI and is committed to releasing a game on the same day that GTA VI releases, no matter what day that is.

You have to respect Devolver’s pluck. When everyone else is running away from danger, they’re running directly into it, unafraid to take on the giant, knowing their cause is just and true, confident that they will emerge victorious. Although what game they will be releasing to compete with GTA VI is unknown at this time. It better be something really good.

The new release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is May 26, 2026. Check out the trailer for it below if you haven’t seen it already:
