A few days after Rockstar Games announced yet another GTA 6 delay, the company have updated the two trailers for the game to have the new release date. Banners across Rockstar’s social media channels have also been given the same treatment.
Every single header image be it on Rockstar’s Twitter account, YouTube channel and more have seen changes in the past few days. The headers featured the Trailer 2 artwork of Lucia and Jason and the GTA VI logo with May 26th 2026 text. Now they say November 19th 2026.
As for the trailers, the release date change was made to the two GTA VI trailers you can download on Rockstar’s own site. Twitter user @mnm345x was first to spot this. As you can see from the image below, November 19, 2026 is now visible below the GTA VI logo at the end of the two trailers.
There has been some speculation from fans that this means a third trailer is coming fairly soon but that is pure speculation. When Trailer 2 came out and Trailer 1 was uploaded to Rockstar’s website for download, that was updated with the May 26, 2026 text as seen in the second trailer. It previously said Coming 2025.
Changes Elsewhere?
At this moment in time, Rockstar have not requested Google to let them change it on their YouTube videos. Whilst almost every user cannot replace a video, YouTube do allow for a small selection of companies to change videos without losing all of the views, likes and comments.
For example, the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Official Trailer was changed by EA to display a new release date following a 6 week delay. PlayStation also did the same thing with other titles. It is very rare but it can happen.
Continues To Break Records
This change to the trailers comes just as Trailer 1 broke a new record. As of Monday, it became the most viewed trailer ever on YouTube. In less than 2 years, it has achieved nearly 269 million views on Google’s video platform. The previous record holder was Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War Trailer which with sits a few thousand less views now. That came out just under 8 years ago. Whilst a Subway Surfers trailer has more views, many of those came from a paid advertising campaign meaning it is not valued the same.
What do you think to this delay? Let us know down in the comments section below. In other GTA 6 and Rockstar Games news, we revealed multiple members of the same team within Rockstar exited the company last week; unrelated to the firings and delay. Learn more here.

Gta6 is going be lit but far as the release take all the time y’al need my main focus is on gta5 online and all thses new updates like is it possible to have a dlc for players 2 eat at a open restaurant at least i’mma real fan of gta all games but til gta6 drop i wants 2 see realistic stuff on gta5 online as well thax!!
That did me, so I won’t be pre-ordering the game anymore. Ill sit back and wait. This is just a ploy, to drive up interest in GTA6.
Done with it now tbh! And honestly think we’re chasing ghosts now it’ll end up being one them huge cancelled projects!
I have been play GTA online for free the whole time I never bought a subscription
How bro
What I think GTA should have done is released part of game and part of map you couldn’t go to untill future update when they finished all the bugs in the area and all the coding I would have been happy with that if it still came out in March because most of us are going to explore the map do quests and screw around so for those reasons you could have had it come out but I’m assuming they want to add other things every so long But I’ll take a red dead online update in the mean time you know since the online for that game needs more since you guys just abandoned the great game foolishly

GTA 6 2025
It’s going to be a woke disaster, as far as the delay goes I don’t expect to see it in 26, I’m expecting more like spring of 27, rockstar has to make sure they check all the boxes for the woke mob before release!
F### yall man yall never release that game yo
Fuck Rockstar they doing us wrong with this
False information. Most viewed trailer belongs to Subways Surfers’ trailer with over 300M+ views. Gotta love “die hard fans” soreading misinformation just to prove their “point” that this game is “best game of all time”.
That trailer only has that amount of views due to it being used as a paid ad to boost the views therefore YouTube does not count it in their records 🙂
