GTA 6 Delay to May 2026 Sparks Online Outcry: 'Give Us a Screenshot!'

It was perhaps inevitable: Rockstar has delayed the release of GTA 6 to May 2026. The announcement came via a straightforward statement that lacked details on launch platforms or any new visual content, such as a trailer or even a screenshot. This move is not unfamiliar to fans of Rockstar games, as the developer has a history of pushing back release dates. While the delay may not come as a shock, it has sparked a range of reactions from fans, including disappointment, relief, and a readiness for another year of intense speculation about GTA 6.

"Ffs, Fuck Rockstar, at least give us screenshots," MyNameIsToFuOG commented, echoing the widespread frustration that Rockstar did not provide any new visuals to ease the disappointment of the delay.

"*At least give us a screenshot, this is ridiculous even for R," added Abvk0. "1.5 years of silence just to drop a delay news without even showing us bread crumbs of the game?"**

However, some fans took a more philosophical approach. "At least we have a date now, I don't mind a delay if it means the game is gonna be good," remarked bl00nded.

"It’s Rockstar bro. What did you expect? Also, I really doubt it will release on May 26, they will delay it more," expressed a skeptical Puzzleheaded-Hunt731.

The delay has also fueled speculation about the simultaneous release of GTA 6 on PC alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. "I hope that means that a PC version is also coming in 2026 and not 2027," voiced Kiwibom.

"2026 console release, late 2027 PC release, 2028 new-gen console release," predicted Velkoadmiral.

“Surprising no one. It will be a final game of this tepid generation. What a let down. I have never felt more grifted than by Microsoft and Sony this generation. Both consoles are more 0.5 updates from the previous generation than true next gen consoles, yet they expected us to pay MORE for them. Quit letting them get away with it. Demand better.”

There's considerable discussion about the potential pricing of GTA 6. With both Nintendo and Microsoft setting prices at $80 for certain titles, fans are preparing for GTA 6 to follow suit, with some even speculating it could reach $100 if it includes the new GTA Online.

In their statement, Rockstar mentioned, "we look forward to sharing more information with you soon." This has led fans to hope that a second trailer might be imminent.

GTA 6 is anticipated not only to be the biggest entertainment launch in history but also one of the greatest games ever created. Under such immense pressure, both Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two are determined to ensure the game launches at the highest possible quality. Given these expectations, the delay to May 2026 seems almost inevitable.
