GTA 6 Release Not Delayed, Says Journalist Amid Confusion

The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is projected for release in November 2026, and recent speculation has stirred concerns among fans. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier recently indicated that the game may not be as “content complete” as previously claimed, sparking fears of a possible delay. To clarify, Schreier has stepped forward to address these concerns directly.

During a recent episode of the Button Mash podcast, Schreier remarked, "The last I heard, [GTA 6] was still not content complete. This means that the team is still finalizing levels, missions, and aspects related to the game." He expressed skepticism that anyone at Rockstar could assure the game would meet its November release.

Further clarifying his previous statements, Schreier suggested, "I wouldn’t be shocked if GTA 6 'does' come out this fall, following a similar delay pattern as Red Dead Redemption 2." He described some reports as “a complete misunderstanding of what I said.”

“This is a complete misunderstanding of what I said, which is that I wouldn't be shocked if GTA 6 *does* come out this fall, following the same delay pattern as RDR2. Of course, another delay is possible. It's a video game. But this blog post is very misleading!”

— Jason Schreier

As previously noted, Rockstar has a history of postponing its major releases, and GTA 6 has already faced two delays, which reportedly could cost the company around $60 million.

Additionally, analysts speculate that the standard edition of GTA 6 may be priced at $100, potentially setting a precedent for other publishers to follow suit. However, Rockstar has yet to announce the pricing for the upcoming title.

GTA 6 is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026.
