Take-Two CEO Reaffirms GTA VI's Nov. 19, 2026 Launch After 2 Delays

3 articles · Updated · Kotaku · Jun 16

Summary

  • Strauss Zelnick said Grand Theft Auto VI is still due on November 19, 2026, publicly restating the date in a TikTok street interview.
  • The reassurance matters because Rockstar already missed two earlier targets—first shifting from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, then delaying another six months.
  • The latest date would end a 13-year gap since the previous mainline Grand Theft Auto entry, making another slip especially consequential for the industry.
  • In the same exchange, Zelnick cited Take-Two's 2025 revenue at $6.7 billion and said this year's figure is projected at a little over $8 billion.
