Newsbrief: Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games have announced the decision to delay Grand Theft Auto VI, from May 26, 2026, to November 19, 2026.
The seven-month delay was announced as part of Take-Two’s quarterly financial earnings. The company stated that this change is “giving the team some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve.”
“Rockstar has our full support of course, and we are confident they will deliver an unrivaled blockbuster entertainment experience.”
The Grand Theft Auto developer is also facing pressure from labor organizers after firing 30 employees for “gross misconduct” last week. It has since claimed the employees leaked sensitive information, a claim disputed by the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain. Take-Two stock briefly declined 18 percent in after-hours trading, though it quickly rose after the brief dip.
