Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, has shut down all rumors by confirming that development is progressing as planned and that GTA 6 will hit the market on Nov. 19, 2026, and there will be no further delays.
Zelnick puts rumors to rest: GTA 6 is coming out in November
After the delay announced in 2025, which moved the game from May to November 2026, social media was filled with speculation about possible further delays. However, Zelnick has been emphatic: GTA 6 has a locked date and the studio has "maximum confidence" in the release.
The executive even joked that "a lot of people will be calling in sick," in reference to the classic joke of asking for the day off to play the release.
GTA 5 is already a phenomenon: More than 225 million copies sold
