GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn't be

Summary
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed until next year, with Rockstar apologising for the delay and stating that it needs more time to assure a certain level of quality for its players.
This announcement stands in contrast to previous reassurances from Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, who assured investors that the game would be released on time, and that the company was remaining tight-lipped about the exact release date to “build anticipation”.
Despite the delay, Rockstar has now set a firm date of May 26, 2026, for the game’s release.
Delays are common in the industry and often result in a more polished final product, and it has previously been reported that Rockstar was considering a longer delay as a “fallback plan”.
There is still no PC release date for the game, and the only trailer released dates back to before the originally anticipated release date this year.
However, commentators in the industry expect that more information may be released this summer, with the Summer Games Fest promising a number of game announcements.
