FULL STORY: GTA 6 'last enormous release of its kind' predicts author and expert

At the risk of this sounding like famous last words, it seems all but certain GTA 6 will release on 19 November barring any last minute disasters.

That's because six months ahead of the game's release, Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive confirmed the game still remains on track to release by the end of 2026.

There seems to be high confidence in the industry this will be the case too as almost every other publisher is avoiding releasing their games anywhere near GTA 6.

The vast majority of games from other publishers slated to release in the second half of 2026 are releasing in September or October or being pushed back completely to February 2027 and beyond.

But while it's positive GTA 6 seems nailed on to release on 19 November, gaming expert George E. Osborn, the author of the upcoming book Power Play which focuses on the link between gaming and politics plus the battle for global influence, thinks the behemoth release of GTA 6 might be the last of its kind.
