Grand Theft Auto VI has received another delay, now set to release on November 19, 2026. Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, expressed confidence that this will be the final postponement, attributing the delay to the need for additional polish to ensure the game meets high standards. This marks the game's second delay, initially projected for a fall 2025 release, which was later pushed to May 2026. Zelnick emphasized the importance of delivering a polished title, warning against rushing releases. Despite these changes, Take-Two reported strong financial results due to popular recent releases, with Grand Theft Auto V continuing to perform exceptionally well. Additionally, the company has faced internal challenges, including the firing of several employees amid disputes over union discussions.
