Take-Two Interactive has delayed the release of 'Grand Theft Auto VI' to May 26, 2026. This move has sparked significant anticipation for what is expected to be a record-breaking video game launch. The delay led to a 9% drop in the company's stock during premarket trading.

Take-Two Interactive announced on Friday that the release of 'Grand Theft Auto VI' is now scheduled for May 26, 2026, pushing back its previously anticipated debut in the fall of 2025.
