 GTA 6: Rockstar Games Delays Release to May 2026, Sparking Reactions in Morocco

Rockstar Games has officially postponed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) to May 26, 2026, moving it from the initially planned fall 2025 launch. The company cites the need for additional development time to meet the high-quality standards expected by fans.

The announcement has generated significant buzz in Morocco, where the gaming community eagerly anticipates the next installment in the iconic franchise. Local gamers have expressed both disappointment over the delay and understanding of the need for a polished final product.

GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, and marks a return to Vice City. The game introduces Lucia, the series' first female protagonist, alongside her partner, Jason. The expansive open world promises diverse environments, including urban landscapes, swamps, and coastal areas.

The game's first trailer, released in December 2023, broke records with over 100 million views in less than 30 hours, highlighting the global anticipation for the title. 

In Morocco, retailers like ProGear.ma have already listed GTA 6 for pre-order on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, reflecting the strong local demand.

While the delay may be disappointing, many Moroccan gamers appreciate Rockstar's commitment to delivering a high-quality experience. The additional development time is expected to result in a more immersive and refined game, aligning with the expectations of fans worldwide.

As the new release date approaches, the Moroccan gaming community remains engaged and excited for what promises to be a landmark entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.
