Rockstar Games has finally opened up about the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI, a.k.a. GTA 6, and since then, fans are excited to play the game and learn about new features in the game. However, some are also disheartened that the game has been delayed till May 6, 2026. Amid this, some leaks also suggest that the highly anticipated title may have a total budget of up to $2 billion.
According to IndiaToday, the anticipated amount is a staggering figure that crosses even the cost of constructing the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, which took about 6 years and 1.5 billion dollars to make.
This is considered to be a record-breaking budget, mainly because it includes over 13 years of development, global marketing efforts, and plans for future downloadable content. However, Rockstar has not yet confirmed the budget, but various industry experts believe the number is close to reality.
GTA 6 is delayed until May 26, 2026, and the news has left gamers across the world who are preparing themselves for a longer wait than expected.
The game was first set to release in 'Fall 2025' after the first trailer was released in 2023. Rockstar Games, on the other hand, released a statement saying, ¡°We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto have been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game."
"With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve."
However, a report from Bloomberg noted that too much work is left and not enough time is claimed to be the major reason behind the delay in the game.?
