Here's the official statement:

Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on 26th May, 2026. We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.

With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve. We look forward to sharing more information with you soon. Sincerely, Rockstar Games.

My guess is that a lot of companies will announce the release dates of their fall games now that GTA VI is on longer coming out then.

Lol, the physical copy is a download code in a game box.

In their defense, I doubt the game would even fit on a 100GB disc.

I still love and buy movies on physical media, but that shipped has sailed for video game industry. With updates and the need to be run from an SSD drive, discs just don't make sense for modern games anymore.

I'm glad all the people expecting it to be $100 were wrong too.

All games have "deluxe" versions that are overpriced. Many were expecting the base game to be $100. Rockstar knows they're going to sell an insane amount of copies, so there's no need to piss anyone off. They're going to make a ton of money regardless of the price.
