GTAVIOclock podcast, known for accurate GTA reporting, say they were misquoted after claiming high confidence in GTA 6's November 19 release date holding firm. They acknowledge a small chance of unexpected disruption.
Part 1
GTA insiders from the GTAVIOclock podcast say they have been "misquoted" after a segment of their April 22 episode went viral on social media, with many claiming the podcast had confirmed GTA 6's release date was locked in. During the episode, the hosts said they were increasingly confident the game would ship on November 19, 2026 — but stopped short of an outright guarantee.

The GTAVIOclock podcast has built credibility over the years by providing accurate information on the GTA series and regularly collaborating with Rockstar on GTA Online streams. During their April 22 episode, they addressed the ongoing speculation around the game's release date: "The chance of there being a delay, another delay attached into that piece of news, I'm pretty confident in the things that we've been hearing that there's no delay incoming," they said, adding that their confidence levels have grown in recent weeks.

However, the podcast hosts were careful to leave a small margin for uncertainty, acknowledging there is roughly a "one in 20 chance" of "something blowing" Rockstar "off course" with the release date. That caveat was largely dropped as the quote spread across social media and gaming forums, leading the hosts to issue a clarification.
