GTA 6 publisher, Take-Two Interactive, has seen its stock drop by just shy of 10% following the announcement that GTA 6 will be delayed for a second time to November 2026.
At the time of writing, Take-Two Interactive’s stock has dropped by 9.63% during after-hours, wiping off around $24 per share, but is already showing some signs of recovery.
In an announcement posted to X, Rockstar Games announced,
“Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”
Rockstar Games is notorious for releasing high-quality games, and in an industry known for never sticking to timelines, it wasn’t difficult to predict that Rockstar Games would likely delay its game rather than push it out the door.
It’s a decision that will undoubtedly cause some frustration, but several times now, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has said he will leave the decision on when to release Grant Theft Auto 6 to Rockstar Games.
Never say never, but personally, I think that November 19th, 2026, is now the final date, so get pre-booking your days off work!
