Take-Two Interactive’s (TTWO) Stock Drops After GTA VI Delay

Rockstar Games has announced a delay in the release of the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, pushing its launch to May 26, 2026. Originally slated for a Fall 2025 release, the delay aims to ensure the game meets the high expectations of its fan base. This decision mirrors previous postponements seen with earlier Grand Theft Auto installments.

The game, set in a fictional U.S. state inspired by Florida, is expected to be a monumental entertainment event. The announcement has had significant ramifications on the stock performance of Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO), Rockstar’s parent company.

Rockstar Games Postpones GTA VI Release to May 2026

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the postponement of Grand Theft Auto VI, now targeting a release on May 26, 2026. The delay, attributed to the need for additional development time, aims to uphold the high-quality standards that fans have come to expect.

The fictional setting of Leonida, inspired by Florida, promises a vast and immersive experience. This delay follows a historical pattern of similar postponements in the franchise, such as those seen with GTA 4 and GTA 5, which ultimately did not dampen their success.

Rockstar has, however, assured fans that more information, including a potential new trailer, will be shared soon.
