It appears that Rockstar Games has deliberately removed every mention of Grand Theft Auto 6‘s November 19 release date from the game’s official homepage and some of its social media channels. Rockstar recently revealed the long-awaited pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6, which many fans saw as the final confirmation that the game was on track for a November launch. However, following these mysterious changes to the game’s official website, some fans are now concerned that disappointing news could be on the horizon.
Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are set to go live on June 25. Rockstar also used the pre-order announcement to unveil the game’s cover art, which retains the collage-style design seen in previous installments and has been well received by fans. The artwork also appears to feature a subtly updated GTA 6 logo, though the changes are minor enough that only the most dedicated fans are likely to notice them. Despite all this exciting news, some players believe another Grand Theft Auto 6 delay could be looming.
GTA 6’s Pre-Order Bonuses are Already Clear
Even without being officially confirmed by Rockstar Games, the pre-order bonuses for GTA 6 already seem obvious based on past trends.
Rockstar Removes GTA 6’s Release Date Mentions
Fans who visited the recently updated official GTA 6 website have reported a concerning change: the prominently displayed release date is no longer there. The official website now showcases the game’s June 25 pre-order date and its launch platforms, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Even more worrying for some, the game’s Twitter account has replaced its cover image with the new GTA 6 artwork, which also makes no mention of the November release date. Previously, the account featured an image of the GTA 6 protagonists alongside the game’s logo and a visible November 19, 2026, release date.

Following these unusual changes, some fans are worried that Rockstar Games is preparing to announce another delay. Grand Theft Auto 6 has already been delayed multiple times, with the most recent postponement occurring in November 2025. These fans believe Rockstar has intentionally removed references to the game’s release date so it can break the bad news shortly after pre-orders go live.
Others, however, think there’s a far less dramatic explanation. They believe Rockstar is simply shifting its marketing focus to the June 25 pre-order launch and wants to avoid confusing potential buyers by promoting two separate dates across its website and social media channels.

It is also worth noting that Rockstar Games’ blog post announcing Grand Theft Auto 6‘s November 19 release date remains live on the official website. Additionally, both Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive executives have repeatedly reaffirmed the launch date for GTA 6, which should provide some reassurance to concerned fans. That said, if another delay is indeed being considered, it’s reasonable to assume that Rockstar would wait until after the pre-order event to make such an announcement. For now, fans have little choice but to wait and see whether Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive responds to the growing speculation, though neither company is likely to address the rumors directly.
