The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:recently announced delay of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 6 from late 2025 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to May 2026 was a gutpunch of sorts for gamers, particularly as it's been well over a decade since 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rockstar Games released 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 5 on both the Xbox 360 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 3.

And while 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tra🐓iler No. 2 did reignite the hyp🔯e train, it still hasn't stopped fans from wo𓆏rrying that a second delay could happen. They're not the only ones, either, as rival developers and publishe💖rs are also worried about another 🙈delay. That said, in a new interview,🎶 Take-Two CEO St🌌rauss Zelnick shared his confidence in the team hitting their release date.

Rockstar And Take-Two Setting A Concrete Date Wasn't An Accident

, Zelnick first iterated that as the launch window for GTA 6 go🌸t closer, it "became clear" that t🐼he game needed some more time to cook.

"As we get closer to completion of a title that’s seekin൩g perfection, the needs, or lack thereof, for continued polish become clear," Zelnick said. "In this case, there was an opportunity with a small amount of incremental time, we th🔜ought, to make sure Rockstar Games achieves its creative vision with no limitations. And I supported, of course, that approach."

With May 26, 2026, now firmly in place as Grand Theft Auto 6's new release date, how 🀅confident is Zelnick in hitting that date?

"I think historically, when we set a specific date, generally speaking, we've been veryꦚ good about reachi🔥ng it."

Even with the delay, Take-Two has quite the portfolio of games set to release this year, including 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands 4 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mafia: The Old Country, something that🍒 ꦫhas given Zelnick added confidence.

"I feel really good about how Fiscal 26 looks sitting here today," Zelcnick said. "And while, of course,🦩 delays pain me — how could they not? — the most important thing to do is to suppo🅘rt your teams in their search for perfection."

All that is to say, it looks like roughly one year from this writing, we'll all be diving into Grand Theft Auto 6. Things can obviously change, as they evidently have, buꦦt Zelnick's words do have an increased air of confidence around them.
