Will GTA 6 be delayed again?
Nothing points to it. Five weeks before launch, Rockstar has released its launch trailer, pre-orders are live, and Sony is shipping launch-day controllers. Take-Two has also built its financial forecast for the year around a 19 November release. A delay this late would be very unusual.
Watch out for fake “delay” posts on social media. Rockstar announces real changes on its Newswire ↗ and on X. If you don’t see it there, it is not real.
