GTA 6 Has Reportedly Gone Gold — No More Delays Expected
Grand Theft Auto VI has gone gold, meaning the final build is finished and ready to ship. That’s according to Push Square’s report on Take-Two’s latest earnings call, where CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar has wrapped up development.
Zelnick also said there will be no further delays. That matters because the game has already been delayed twice: first from 2025, then from May 2026 to November 19, 2026.
Demand “vastly exceeding expectations”
In a CNBC interview on November 10, Zelnick said demand for GTA VI is far ahead of the company’s expectations.

- The November 19 date on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is now very unlikely to move.
- Pre-load is already open (see our pre-load guide).

Note: Rockstar hasn’t posted a separate “gone gold” announcement on its Newswire. We’ll update this post if it does.
