The video game was initially set to release in September 2025. Then it was pushed back to May 2026. This led to backlash from anxious users.
However, despite the backlash, Rockstar CEO Strauss Zelnick says that release date delays are never something that the company regrets. Because it is a necessary evil to ensure they are putting forth the best product.
“It’s always painful when we slip a date, and we have done so occasionally in the past,” Zelnick said in a recent investors call via PC Gamer. “And we’ve never regretted it in retrospect. “I would like to point out that we have some competitors that, in the event where more polish was required, and it required slipping a date, they chose not to slip the date. And they did so at their peril.”
