GTA 6 has been delayed twice at this point, with the latest update pushing the game back to November 19 of this year. Because of Rockstar Games’ history and the delays in the past, many fans were concerned about another potential delay ahead of Take-Two’s earnings call earlier today.
Fortunately, CEO Strauss Zelnick has shared quite an encouraging update for the fans. According to the CEO, not only is another GTA 6 delay unlikely, but the team is also gearing up for an extensive marketing campaign for the coming summer.
Take-Two’s latest quarterly earnings call teased a record-breaking final quarter for the year 2026, with CEO Strauss Zelnick expressing extreme confidence in GTA 6 once again.
The CEO stated during the earnings call that Fiscal 2027 should be a groundbreaking period for both Take-Two and the entertainment industry. To prepare the world for Fiscal 2027, Rockstar Games’ marketing efforts for GTA 6 will kick off at some point during the summer.
“We are highly confident as we approach Fiscal 2027, which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry, led by the November 19 release of GTA 6, with marketing set to begin this summer.” -Strauss Zelnick
During the same call, Strauss Zelnick dispelled rumors of GTA 6 skipping a physical launch. He also confirmed that the game will not make use of generative AI, even if Rockstar Games is currently exploring the technology with great interest.
All in all, the November 19 release date for GTA 6 appears to be set in stone. Of course, a delay can never be ruled out entirely, but it now seems more unlikely than ever, especially with marketing plans revolving around this date.
