If there's one absolute thing that Rockstar Games fanboys aren't looking forward to, it's any news that GTA 6 has been delayed. But that's exactly what we have here. Just when we thought GTA 6's release date was pretty much set in stone, an "insider" has claimed that the game has been delayed to 2026. Let's break it down.

The latest GTA 6 2026 release date rumor comes from X-user @billsyliamgta who claims to have exclusive information. In the post, the user mentions that GTA VI has been "internally delayed" by Rockstar Games with the new release date being early to mid 2026. This information reportedly comes from "multiple developers in two studios."

At the time of writing, the post has already received over 10,000 likes and counting. However, it is important to note that X's community note clearly states the actual GTA 6 release date below the post.

Also, the insider's news has not been confirmed by any prominent industry leaker yet. This is an important point because news about GTA 6 spreads faster than wildfire. Prominent insiders like Tom Henderson and Jason Schreier have already questioned this claim which makes a lot of sense.
