Rockstar removes mention of GTA 6 release date
Fans who visited the recently updated official GTA 6 website reported a disturbing change: the prominently displayed release date is no longer there. The official website now shows the game's pre-order date as June 25th and its launch platforms, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Even more disturbing to some, the game's Twitter account has replaced its cover image with a new GTA 6 artwork, which also doesn't mention a November release date. Previously, the account included a picture GTA 6 protagonists along with the game's logo and a visible release date of November 19, 2026.

After these unusual changes, some fans fear that Rockstar Games is about to announce another delay. Grand Theft Auto 6 has already been delayed several times, with the most recent delay being in November 2025. These fans believe that Rockstar deliberately removed references to the game's release date in order to deliver bad news shortly after pre-orders go live.
However, others think there is a much less dramatic explanation. They believe that Rockstar is simply shifting its marketing focus to the June 25 pre-order launch and wants to avoid confusing potential buyers by promoting two separate dates on its website and social media channels.

In addition, the management of Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive have repeatedly confirmed the launch date GTA 6which should provide some reassurance to interested fans. That said, if a further delay is indeed being considered, it's reasonable to assume that Rockstar will wait until after the pre-order event to make such an announcement. For now, fans can only wait to see if Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive will respond to the growing speculation, though neither company is likely to address the rumors directly.
