After a couple of delays, it seems Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is finally on track. Leaked emails suggest that Rockstar is gearing up for a pre-order launch on May 18. If true, this hints at a solid release date of November 19, which should ease concerns about further setbacks.
Initially, GTA 6 was set for a fall 2025 release. Then in May last year, Rockstar pushed it to May 26, 2026. However, this date didn’t last either, and another delay followed. Now, it looks like Rockstar is set to release the game for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November, just five months after the pre-order starts. Eurogamer is looking to confirm the details with Rockstar.
Recent activity from PlayStation indicates a marketing partnership with Take-Two, Rockstar’s publisher. Sony is encouraging PS4 users to upgrade to PS5 for the best GTA 6 experience. This hints that Rockstar may ramp up promotions soon. Fans are eagerly awaiting a new trailer since the last one was released over a year ago.
The development cost for GTA 6 is staggering, reportedly between $1 billion and $1.5 billion. Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two, has acknowledged the expense. While he didn’t confirm the exact amount, he mentioned that their goal is to offer great value for the price. Some reports suggest the game could sell for around $100.
On another note, Rockstar is under scrutiny from UK MPs and the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain. They are calling for more transparency after the firing of several staff members was perceived as an attempt to disrupt union activities.
All in all, the excitement around GTA 6 is palpable, with players sharing their eagerness on social media. Many are discussing their hopes for gameplay features and storyline elements, showing just how anticipated this release is. As the countdown continues, fans are watching closely for any news and updates.
