Right now, the entire gaming community is looking forward to the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. In the last several years, no other game has enjoyed the kind of hype this one has.
The game, initially slated for a fall 2025 release, will now be coming out on May 26, 2026. Rockstar has taken this decision owing to the fact that the developers need more time to work on the game. Given the huge expectations associated with the game, Rockstar does not want to launch it in a hurry.
