Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on May 26, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (after two years). The game will have a 75-hour storyline, split into five chapters, following the Bonnie and Clyde-inspired plot of Jason and Lucia. The main setting is Rockstar's fictional version of Florida, with Vice City at its center. Pricing is still a mystery, with some speculating a base edition could cost up to $100.

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has reaffirmed the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) at its latest earnings call. The game is set to launch on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, following a recent delay from the originally targeted Fall 2025 release [1].

The reaffirmation comes amid speculation and leaks surrounding the game's development. A leak suggested that the game might be pushed back further, but Take-Two's official statement confirms the May 2026 release date. The game is expected to feature a 75-hour storyline, split into five chapters, following a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired plot of Jason and Lucia. The main setting is Rockstar's fictional version of Florida, with Vice City at its center [2].

The company also revealed that the game's pricing remains a mystery, with some speculating that the base edition could cost up to $100. Additionally, Take-Two announced that it is preparing to roll out an age verification system in GTA Online, likely tied to the UK's Online Safety Act 2023 [2].

Take-Two's financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30 were strong, with net bookings of $1.42 billion, up 17% from the same quarter a year ago. The company raised its fiscal year 2026 net bookings outlook to $6.05 to $6.15 billion. The results were driven by the success of games such as NBA 2K25, Grand Theft Auto V and Online, and Red Dead Redemption 2 and Online [3].

Despite the strong financial performance, the company faced no significant surprises. Analysts were expecting GAAP revenues of $1.31 billion and a loss per share of 72 cents. The company raised $1.19 billion from the stock market, increasing its war chest to over $2 billion in cash.
