Fans are once again worried that Grand Theft Auto VI might have been delayed—again—after Rockstar Games quietly updated the game’s official website.
Yes, it’s déjà vu for the GTA community. Each week seems to bring a fresh theory about a supposed delay, almost as if fans are manifesting one through sheer speculation. But this time, the concern isn’t entirely baseless; it stems from a recent, subtle change Rockstar made online.
As noted by Screen Rant’s Nicholas Becher, Rockstar updated the Grand Theft Auto VI homepage over the weekend. The tweak was minor yet noticeable: the landing page no longer displays the previously confirmed release date of May 26, 2026.
That omission sent parts of the internet into a frenzy. On Twitter, “GTA VI Delayed!” trended for hours as thousands of fans assumed the change meant the game had been pushed back. My feed was flooded with delay alerts before breakfast—I nearly spilled my coffee.
But here’s the twist: the release date is still there. You just need to scroll a little further down the page to find it.
This suggests something very different from what many fans feared. Rather than signaling a delay, the website update might actually point to progress. My guess? Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive are prepping for a major marketing beat—possibly a new trailer.
Take-Two’s next earnings call is set for November 6, and the company has a history of timing big announcements around those calls. When there’s good news to share, they tend to release it just beforehand; tougher updates usually come after.
So, it’s entirely possible that Rockstar revamped the GTA VI landing page to make room for a shiny new trailer that will drop right before that call—something bold to keep both investors and fans buzzing.
Of course, that’s just a theory for now. But if you’re watching the GTA VI news cycle, expect something exciting in the days ahead. Just don’t expect another delay—at least not before November 6.
