The trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been released, showcasing impressive graphics and attention to detail.

Rockstar just revealed more about GTA 6—but left PC gamers hanging

Grand Theft Auto 6 is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, after being delayed from its original 2025 launch. A new trailer was released, garnering over 1.5 million likes within two hours, and the dedicated game page briefly crashed due to high traffic. The trailer introduces characters Jason and Lucia, who become involved in criminal activities after Lucia is released from prison. The game is set in Leonida, a parody of Florida, featuring locations such as Leonida Keys, Grassivers, Port Gellhorn, Mount Kalaga, and Ambrosia. Currently, GTA 6 will launch exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, with no confirmed PC release date. Speculation suggests a potential two-year wait for PC gamers, similar to the release pattern of GTA 5. Pricing details for the game remain unconfirmed, but it is expected to be higher than traditional new title prices due to its estimated budget nearing a billion dollars.

‘You can’t escape us’: Devolver plots to release a game on GTA 6’s release date, no matter when that is

Devolver Digital announced a cryptic message on X regarding the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, stating, "You can't escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then." The publisher is known for titles like Cult of the Lamb and Death's Door and is expected to unveil a game on the same day as GTA 6. Enter the Gungeon 2 is set for a 2026 release, while Hotline Miami 3 is speculated but not officially announced. If Rockstar Games delays GTA 6, Devolver may choose to release their game as planned or delay it. The timing may favor Devolver, as GTA 6 is unlikely to be available on PC at launch, potentially attracting PC gamers to an indie title.
