Rumors of another GTA 6 delay swirl, but GTAVI O’Clock podcast insists Rockstar will stick to November 19, 2026. With trailers showing Vice City and new characters, anticipation builds for the year’s biggest release.
The video game industry’s most anticipated release of the decade, Grand Theft Auto VI, is scheduled for November 19, 2026. While speculation about another delay has persisted, a new claim suggests Rockstar Games will meet its target date.
The GTAVI O’Clock podcast, hosted by James Jarvis, reported that sources close to the project are confident the release will not be postponed again. “The chance of there being another delay, I’m pretty confident from the things that we’ve been hearing that there’s no delay incoming,” Jarvis said.
This reassurance comes at a time when fans remain cautious. Release dates in the gaming industry are often subject to change, and Rockstar has previously delayed major titles. For now, however, the November launch appears intact, offering hope that players will finally experience GTA 6 during the holiday season.
