The CEO of Take-Two, the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto 6, has addressed the possibility of a second delay, while simultaneously reaffirming his commitment to releasing the game on time. Easily the most anticipated game of the decade, GTA 6 was initially slated for release in 2025; however, this past May, it was not-so-abruptly delayed to May 26, 2026, after long-standing rumors that its release date would be pushed back.
In a new interview with CNBC, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick addresses the possibility of a second delay to GTA 6's release date. While he doesn't count it out entirely, when it comes to releasing the game on time, he says, "My level of conviction is very, very high, obviously."
