Tonight, sixth November 2026, Take-Two Interactive revealed its newest monetary report, and it had some fairly massive revelations in regards to the upcoming recreation GTA 6. The headline information: as a substitute of launching on twenty sixth Might, 2026, the sport has been pushed again about half a yr to nineteenth November, 2026. This has additionally been confirmed by tweets from the offical Rockstar Video games social media accounts.
Per Take-Two, this delay is designed to provide “some further time to complete the sport with the excessive degree of polish gamers count on and deserve. Rockstar has our full assist after all, and we’re assured they’ll ship an unrivalled blockbuster leisure expertise.”
This is not the primary delay the sport has seen this yr. Again in Might, it was confirmed that the sport had slipped from its earlier launch date into Might 2026.
On account of this information, we’re already beginning to see Take-Two inventory plummet. The story broke about 9pm UK time, and as of 9.35pm inventory has dropped by a large 8% (see picture under). In actual phrases, meaning Take-Two inventory is down about $30.

It appears each buyers and most of the people do not share this identical sense of optimism, as inventory continues to fall as I am penning this story.
GTA 6 is presently anticipated to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Sequence X/S on its new date of nineteenth November. And there is little doubt it may be massive, even with this new set-bacK: Take-Two confirmed earlier this yr that GTA 5 has now offered an astonishing 210m copies since its launch 12 years in the past, so it is most likely not unreasonable to imagine its massively anticipated sequel will handle to do this after which some.
