When Rockstar Needed To Delay GTA 6 Again, Take-Two’s CEO Replied: ‘Please Tell Me You’re Kidding’

In May 2025, Rockstar announced it was delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 until May 2026. Then, a few months later, it announced it was delaying GTA 6 again to November 2026 . For many fans, these back-to-back delays were excruciating and disappointing. And for Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, it apparently seemed like a prank. On October 14, Bloomberg published a lengthy report about Rockstar Games and its work on GTA 6 , its upcoming open-world crime simulator that is set to be the biggest game release of the decade when it arrives on November 19.
