In a surprising turn of events, gaming titan Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is scheduled for release today, May 26, as per their official Twitter account. Despite the excitement among fans, it appears to be an April Fool's joke played a year too early. The pinned tweet on Rockstar's account features the GTA 6 Trailer 2 video, which reveals the game's release date of May 26, 2026. Although many have been left disappointed, it serves as an exciting reminder of the long-awaited game that has been highly anticipated since the Trailer 2 dropped last year. While fans eagerly await any official updates on GTA 6, it seems we'll have to wait until this summer for any significant marketing efforts from Rockstar Games. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., the parent company of Rockstar Games, has confirmed the November 19, 2026 release date in a recent interview with IGN. So, while there may not be any news today, fans can take solace in knowing they're only half a year away from getting their hands on GTA 6 (for real this time). Until then, the gaming community continues to speculate and celebrate the occasion with memes, jokes, and dreams of what could have been had GTA 6 actually released today.
