GTA VI Delayed Ensuring Flawless Launch in 2026

Rockstar Games has surprised fans worldwide by delaying the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), pushing the launch back by nearly six months from the original schedule. According to insider reports, the team will spend the remaining year thoroughly eliminating bugs to ensure the game is in the most polished state possible.

Insider Tom Henderson, known for revealing credible game industry rumors, shared on a recent podcast that GTA VI’s main gameplay and story content are already complete. Players can expect a fully playable experience from start to finish, but Rockstar wants to make absolutely sure that no bugs or glitches affect player experience. Even a single error could impact the game’s reputation, making this extended polish period essential.

Grand Theft Auto VI is an open-world action game following the story of Jason and Lucia, a man and a woman starting a new life. However, their journey drags them back into Vice City’s dark underworld, contrasted with the city’s bright, sun-soaked streets and neon-lit nightlife in the state of Leonida. The game will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. Fans continue to speculate and discuss potential new features, eager to see how Rockstar perfects the game over the next year.

THIS IS OUR SAY
The year-long delay signals Rockstar’s commitment to quality, showing that they prioritize a flawless experience over rushing the launch. For fans, this is good news—expect GTA VI to set a new standard for open-world games in Southeast Asia and beyond.
