GTA 6 Delay Sparks Outrage as Fans Reset Countdown—Again

GTA 6 Delay Sparks Outrage as Fans Reset Countdown—Again

November 8, 2025 Off By Ibraheem Adeola

GTA 6 fans have been hit with yet another gut punch: the release date countdown just reset to a staggering 376 days after Rockstar announced the game’s latest delay. Hopes for an imminent return to Vice City have fizzled, and the online community is deep in the trenches of frustration, sarcasm, and disbelief.

The official GTA6 Reddit has become something of a digital therapy session. At the top, the ever-present “Days until we (hopefully this time) hit the beaches in Vice City” clock briefly gave the community hope. Now, with the number jumping from under 200 to well over 370, the mood has shifted hard. The responses are a masterclass in both dark humour and exasperation.

From Hype to Hibernate: How a Single Rockstar Tweet Changed Everything

Not long ago, players were charging into online forums, hyped up for a release that felt close. That optimism vanished with Rockstar’s new timeline. One user, Entire-Damage9694, summed up the abrupt change: “Crazy how we went from ‘200 days let’s goooo’ to ‘377 days I might hibernate’ in one Rockstar tweet.”

Jokes about “celebrating one year until release” are everywhere for the third time. User Senior_Professional4 nailed the sentiment, and you’ll spot plenty of this energy as you scroll the subreddit. Then there are the sceptics, fans who’ve had their patience stretched so thin they barely have any hope left. TrackSingle7582 wrote what a lot of diehards are feeling: “At this point, just keep the fucking game dawg.”

The conversation isn’t just about disappointment. It’s also wild speculation. With each slip, some followers are convinced we won’t get our hands on GTA 6 until 2027. It’s a bitter pill for a crowd that’s been clinging to every leak, rumour, and trailer for years.

What Now? Revisiting Old Classics While Waiting for Vice City

If you’re wondering how far away November 2026 feels, the answer is: extremely. The community’s collective patience is fraying. So what do you do in the meantime?

The fallback? GTA 5, of course. The numbers are still jaw-dropping, with Take Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, claiming that GTA 5 has sold more copies than the entire population of Brazil. That stat alone is enough to remind anyone why Rockstar isn’t in a rush; they’re still making a fortune off its predecessor. The reality is we’re stuck counting down again, battling sarcasm with thinly veiled hope, and waiting for that ever-distant day when Vice City finally reopens its neon-soaked doors.
