It's a good thing Grand Theft Auto 6 didn't release in May

Rockstar has delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 from May 26, 2026 to November 19, 2026.

The article argues the later launch may actually help, since May 2026 is packed with major game releases.

That crowded window includes titles like Subnautica 2, Forza Horizon 6, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, 007 First Light, and others.

By moving to November, GTA 6 gets more breathing room and a better shot at owning the spotlight and sales.
