The anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed until May 26, 2026, Rockstar Games announced on Friday.
Fans had expected to return to the sun-drenched beaches and gleaming condominiums of Vice City, a fictionalized Miami, this year based on the game’s first trailer, which featured Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road.”
“With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception,” Rockstar said in a statement. “We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.”
