Overview
- An anonymous 4chan post that circulated on May 20–21 said Rockstar plans to push GTA 6 to February 2027 with a PC release in May 2027, but the claim has no official confirmation.
- Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has recently reassured the public that the game will not be postponed and the publisher continues to list November 19, 2026 as the launch date for consoles.
- Retail leaks, including Best Buy emails that suggested pre‑orders would begin around May 18, have raised expectations that Rockstar will soon open pre‑orders or release a third trailer tied to Take‑Two investor events.
- Fans have reacted angrily to repeated fake listings and to Rockstar’s limited communication, noting the studio’s recent social posts promoted Red Dead Redemption Online rather than GTA 6 updates.
- Industry observers urge caution and say anonymous posts on forums are often unreliable, so the clearest sign of any schedule change will be a formal statement from Rockstar or Take‑Two or official marketing material.
