GTA insiders respond after being "misquoted" over GTA 6 release date rumors
The GTAVIOclock podcast has clarified they were "misquoted" after stating they were 96% confident in the November 2026 release date. The hosts say they only meant their confidence in the date had grown, not that it was confirmed.
The gaming world's wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been marked by two delays already. Rockstar's long-awaited title shifted from holiday 2025 to May 26, 2026, and then to November 19, 2026.
During their April 22 episode, the GTAVIOclock podcast — a source with a track record of accurate GTA predictions — said they were "96% confident" in the November 2026 date, noting only a "one in 20 chance" of something derailing Rockstar's plans.
The quote was picked up and shared across social media as a definitive confirmation, prompting the hosts to clarify they've been "misquoted."
"Great to see this week's show getting attention but we're being misquoted. We said we're more confident on the date. We are part of an industry that is interconnected… Only T2 / Rockstar 100% know if the game will be hit Nov 19," the podcast stated on social media.
Fans are now looking to Take-Two's earnings call on May 21, 2026, hoping for official confirmation, Trailer 3, and a price announcement — with CEO Strauss Zelnick hinting at a major summer marketing push.
