Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed again. Six months later than its May 2026 date and a full year on from its original late 2025 window, we can now expect GTA 6 on 19th November, 2026. And amongst all the many not-that-interesting things it means for other companies’ revised expectations, release dates, quarterly earnings and sales targets, there is one interesting thought I’ve seen doing the rounds. What if GTA 6, coming at least 13 years after GTA 5, has taken so long to make that it’s actually been left behind by the genre this series helped to define? What if it’s so late, it’s just plain outdated?
