The world of the gaming industry is again overwhelmed by a wave of rumors: reports began to appear on the Internet that the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) was allegedly postponed again - now to 2027. The news quickly spread across social networks, forums and gaming publics, but official information tells a completely different story.
We are looking into what is known today, whether there was a real transfer and when to expect the release of the most anticipated game of the decade.
Officially: GTA 6 has NOT been postponed to 2027
At the moment, Rockstar Games has not announced a transfer GTA 6 for 2027.
The last official change in the release date occurred earlier - the release was postponed to November 19, 2026. It is this date that remains relevant and is confirmed both by Rockstar itself and by the management of Take-Two Interactive.
This means that any publications about a postponement to 2027 now remain either rumors or an interpretation of discussions within the gaming community.
Why rumors about a postponement appeared
There are several reasons why the topic of another delay has become popular again.
1. History of Rockstar with transfers
The studio has long been known for the “better later, but better” approach.
A similar thing happened with:
GTA V
Red Dead Redemption 2
GTA 6 (previously was postponed)
Because of this, some players believe that another transfer is quite possible.
2. A very high bar of expectations
GTA 6 is one of the most expensive and anticipated projects in the history of the industry.
The game is expected to:

The larger the project, the higher the risk of delays.
3. Silence from Rockstar
Fans closely monitor the studio's trailers, marketing and publications. When there is little information, theories and insights automatically appear.
