Published by Daniella Wilson

Grand Theft Auto VI is unquestionably the single most anticipated video game of 2026. The long-awaited sequel by developer Rockstar Games is expected to drop in November – 13 years on from the record-breaking GTA V. The game was due to be released in autumn 2025 but was pushed back to May 2026 before once again being delayed.
