Rockstar Games is still targeting Nov 19, 2026, for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI). Still, former Rockstar animator, Mike York, believes another delay remains a realistic possibility if the studio determines the game needs more time. His comments come as fans await a potential marketing update ahead of Take-Two Interactive's Aug 7, 2026, earnings call, where investors are expected to look for progress on the publisher's biggest upcoming release. Speaking to Indy100 through covers.com, York, who worked at Rockstar between 2012 and 2019 and contributed to GTA V, noted he no longer has insight into GTA VI's development. However, based on his experience at the studio, he stated he "would not be shocked at all" if Rockstar delayed the game again to ensure it meets its quality standards.
