More than a year after its announcement trailer, we finally have a release date for GTA 6. Unfortunately that release date is May 26, 2026. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2025, so this release date is a bit disappointing for those of us who have been itching to get our hands on it. A few days after Rockstar announced the release date, they released the second trailer for the game.
On top of the release date and trailer, Rockstar released an official synopsis for the game as well:
Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them but when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.
May 2026 will be a busy month
GTA 6 may be the only game that has been announced for May 2026 so far, there will be other forms of entertainment holding your interest until then. Avengers Doomsday will be released on May 1. If Star Wars is more your thing, The Mandalorian and Grogu released on the 22nd. There’s an untitled DC Studios film scheduled for the 29th as well.
GTA 6 will be released for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S/X with a PC release likely sometime in 2027. Where will you be playing GTA 6? I know I will be on Xbox enjoying this game on day 1 most likely.
