GTA 6 is arguably the most highly anticipated media of all time and because there’s still more than nine months to go before it releases, leaks, rumours and speculation continue to swirl and swell about it.
The last official update from Rockstar itself came at the start of May when the studio released GTA 6 trailer 2 alongside loads of new screenshots, artwork and an updated website.
That followed the news GTA 6 was delayed from Autumn 2025 to 26 May 2026.
Take-Two, Rockstar Games‘ parent company, hosted an earnings call on 7 August when there was an update on that release date.
There’s always something going on in the worlds of GTA 6, Rockstar Games and Take-Two so to stay up-to-date with all the latest as it happens, keep it locked with the dedicated indy100 live blog below.

Mat Piscatella is a senior director at Circana, an American market research and technology company.
In an interview Piscatella had with Gamesindustry.biz, he said: “You look at something like Fortnite. It’s been, what, seven, eight years now that that thing’s been the biggest thing in the world. Or Minecraft. And GTA 5 launched in 2013. It’s still one of the top 20 best selling games every single month.”

Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two, said his level of conviction that GTA 6 will release on 26 May 2026 is “very, very high”.
Speaking on CNBC, when asked if GTA 6 will release on time, he said: “My level of conviction is very, very high obviously.
“Rockstar does have a lot of other things going on but this, of course, is the primary focus.
