GTA VI delay – Rumor or reality?

Without creating any more suspense, let us declare to you that the news is just a rumor for now. There are no official announcements about the GTA VI delay as of now. But, there is no fire without smoke. So where did the smoke for this rumor come from?

Well, fans have been discussing on Instagram how an X account is claiming that the game will get delayed soon. The GTA 6 fan pages and closed groups are discussing this thread that is making the rounds on X, and other social media platforms.

According to this thread, GTA VI has been delayed to 2027 (without the mention of any exact date). The thread further explains the reason for this delay. It says that a GTA VI delay will occur to meet the high standard expectations that the developers and fans have for the series’ 6th installment. The account also says that news will be officially out soon by Rockstar itself because several key areas of the game still require additional work before the launch.

What’s next?

Although this tweet on X can just be a rumor, the account is followed by Rockstar’s official X handle itself. And that is what concerns the fans. Since Rockstar follows this account, it increases the chances of this fake news turning into a reality. Amid the ongoing GTA VI buzz, the talks are being claimed to be currently an internal affair.

But there are also speculations of the news being absolutely fake. Fans are discussing how this can be a PR gimmick. Or even the X account can make such false claims to gain attention and followers online.
What we know is the reality of this rumor will be uncovered soon by how Rockstar reacts to this news. If such an announcement of a GTA VI delay breaks out soon, we know it was never a marketing tactic. But, if the delay is just a gossip, we will not hear anything regarding it from the studios.

Another GTA VI delay on its way?

According to the sources, the Tweet was deleted from the X account and is nowhere to be found. Many official gaming handles and news portals have also confirmed the rumor was indeed fake and no such delay is on its way from GTA VI. The pre-order date of the game has been announced, and it will be available to purchase from 25th June 2026 onwards. Not to mention, the game is releasing on 19th November 2026 and will face no more delayed launches. The game is finally releasing after 3 years of its official announcement and fans are happy about it.
