In a surprising announcement this April Fools' Day, Rockstar Games CEO Abe Riffle revealed a rather unusual decision: the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to 2026. But here's the twist: it's been delayed to avoid competition with... Grand Theft Auto 6.

“We felt that it was too big of a risk to release Grand Theft Auto 6 so close to GTA 6, so rather than have to compete directly, we are delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026. GTA 6 can have 2025 all to itself,” Riffle explained with a wink.

Yes, you read that right. Rockstar, in a classic April Fools’ joke, is "delaying" the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 because it doesn’t want to compete with itself. The playful twist comes with the understanding that GTA 6 is expected to dominate the gaming world upon its release in 2025.

In reality, of course, Grand Theft Auto 6 is still in development, and we don't yet know when it will launch. The company is known for keeping its plans under wraps, and this quirky April Fools' announcement serves as a reminder that even big studios like Rockstar love a good laugh.

So, while fans eagerly await the official release of GTA 6, it looks like we’ll have to wait just a little bit longer for more concrete news. In the meantime, it's clear that Rockstar knows how to have some fun with its fans.
