Rockstar Updates Main GTA 6 Website With New Release Date and — Sorry PC Gamers — It's Still Down for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S Only

Rockstar has updated the main GTA 6 website to bespeak the game’s astir caller delay, and it’s sticking with its console-only motorboat for now.

GTA 6 was delayed from May to November 2026, with Rockstar saying the other fractional twelvemonth “will let america to decorativeness the crippled with the level of polish you person travel to expect and deserve.”

Some had wondered if this latest hold — its 2nd since it was officially revealed successful December 2023 — would origin Rockstar Games to revise its motorboat plans, which truthful acold see PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S only. But, arsenic spotted by @videotechuk_, present Rockstar has updated the authoritative GTA 6 website to notation the November 19 merchandise date, it lists the consoles arsenic the lone motorboat platforms.

What does this mean for PC gamers? They already faced the imaginable of having to hold longer for GTA 6 — backmost erstwhile GTA 6 was planned for merchandise successful the autumn of this year, immoderate thought the crippled would travel retired connected PC successful 2026. That present looks impossible, and immoderate PC gamers are disquieted they won’t get to play the crippled until 2028. Late 2027 feels similar a harmless bet, but this is Rockstar. It’s hard to foretell what the institution volition do.

In an interrogation with IGN past night, Take-Two brag Strauss Zelnick said helium was "highly confident" that this is the past clip GTA 6 volition beryllium delayed. “We wanted to springiness Rockstar the due magnitude of clip to polish the rubric and marque definite it tin beryllium the precise champion it tin be," helium said.

Previously, GTA 6 was announced for a autumn 2025 release, which Zelnick was assured successful astatine the time. The crippled was aboriginal delayed to May of 2026, with Take-Two and Rockstar likewise citing a request for polish. Zelnick sounded assured then, too.

As for motorboat platforms, past twelvemonth Zelnick was asked if the deficiency of a PC mentation of GTA 6 was acceptable successful stone. Here’s Zelnick’s effect successful full:

Well, the deficiency of an announcement is not thing that could beryllium acceptable successful chromatic arsenic adjacent arsenic I could tell, due to the fact that the lone happening that happens aft the deficiency of an announcement is an announcement, I suppose, oregon a continuing deficiency of an announcement, I conjecture that could hap too. It doesn’t look to maine that either would beryllium acceptable successful stone.But Rockstar has an attack to platforms which we’ve seen before, and they volition marque much announcements successful owed time. I bash judge that the close strategy for our concern is to beryllium wherever the user is, and historically what this institution has done is code consumers anyplace they are, connected immoderate level that makes sense, implicit time.

That was Zelnick dancing astir the inevitable PC mentation of GTA 6, but helium did constituent to Rockstar’s merchandise strategy for its erstwhile games. Fans of Rockstar games person noted the studio's humanities reluctance to merchandise different past games connected PC day-and-date with console, arsenic good arsenic its fraught narration with the modding assemblage implicit the years. Still, immoderate had hoped that a crippled arsenic large arsenic GTA 6 could beryllium a turning constituent for the studio's PC gaming attitude, lone to person those hopes dashed.

Big Rockstar titles thin to get to PC eventually, but the question is however agelong PC gamers volition person to hold for the biggest amusement motorboat of each time.

We’ve got plentifulness much connected GTA 6 successful the meantime, including however the net reacted to the GTA 6 delay, and wherefore it’s nary astonishment it was delayed successful the archetypal place.
