It’s one of the most anticipated games in video game history, but also one of the most elusive. While GTA 6 is officially scheduled for a worldwide release on November 19, 2026the absence of the game in a PlayStation teaser dedicated to titles coming in 2026 has sowed doubt. Many fans fear a new reportnot confirmed to date, but strongly feared.
Already postponed twice by Rockstar Games, GTA 6 seemed to have finally found its launch window. But the shadow of a third delay looms again, and speculation is increasing.
The notable absence of GTA 6 in the PlayStation 2026 teaser
It all started with a teaser recently published by PlayStation, listing the “must-have games of 2026”. Among the titles mentioned: several exclusives, multiplatform games… but no trace of GTA 6.
On Reddit, the reactions were quick: “Does this mean that even Sony doubts the release of GTA 6 in 2026? Or is this an implicit confirmation of the delay?” asks a user. Even if the majority of players remain cautious, the absence of the title in this type of communication is considered “unusual”, given its juggernaut status.
Rockstar remains silent, the community divides
Faced with this silence, fans are divided. Some cry out for warning, others for a simple misunderstanding. On social networks, several voices are calling for calm. “You should really stop thinking everything means something.” tempers a player. Another adds: “There’s a reason they’re called Rockstar Games. They make their own rules.”
Indeed, Rockstar is renowned for its unpredictable communication. The studio could very well release a new trailer without notice, and have the effect of a bomb as was the case with the first teaser, which generated millions of views in a few hours.
History of GTA 6 delays: a soap opera with twists and turns
Originally planned for fall 2025GTA 6 was postponed for the first time until May 26, 2026then again at November 19, 2026. Each date change was made official by Rockstar, without ever detailing the precise reasons.
Today, no official announcement suggests a third delay. The absence of the game in a PlayStation communication could be explained by strategic reasons: marketing exclusivities, internal calendar, or simple desire to create a separate event.
GTA 6: radio silence until the next trailer?
For now, all eyes remain on Rockstar. A new trailer has been awaited for several months, and could, on its own, confirm or deny the delay rumors. As long as the studio doesn’t move, the worry will persist.
But 11 months from its theoretical release date, nothing is decided yet. And for a game of this magnitude, Rockstar might as well play for time… or strike hard, without warning.
