There hasn't been any news about Grand Theft Auto 6 in a long time, and many fans are now wondering the same question — Is GTA 6 canceled? The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer was released more than six months ago, and since then, Rockstar hasn't come out with any official updates.
Rockstar first unveiled that Grand Theft Auto 6 was being developed back in February 2022, but the trailer came out around nine months after this. Although they did announce this teaser beforehand, this was done at the last possible moment. Nevertheless, the answer to "Is GTA 6 canceled or not" is a resounding no.
The game is on its way to be released in Fall 2025. In light of that, this article explains why asking "is GTA 6 canceled?" makes no sense.

Is GTA 6 canceled: No, it's not
There have been many rumors about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title, and a frequent question brought up in many forums and corners across the Internet is this — "is GTA 6 canceled?" Fans are suggested to take all this speculation with a grain of salt as the game is neither in development hell, nor has it been delayed. For now, it's expected to arrive in Fall 2025.
The first official trailer for the game, which came out in December 2023, gave us the first glimpse into what we can expect from Vice City and Leonida. It featured the protagonists, Lucia and Jason, and some other enticing NPCs and characters. Many of the scenes from the trailer were recreations of real-life viral Florida moments seen in the news.
The trailer confirmed without a doubt that the locations and characters seen in the 2022 leaks belonged to the game. Fans even managed to spot some minor differences in how Jason and Lucia looked between the leaks and the trailer. The 90 second teaser also revealed the release year and the supported platforms (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S).
In May 2024, Take-Two revealed that the release window is set to be Fall 2025, which is between September and November. This is when Rockstar usually releases their mainline games, starting with the first Grand Theft Auto title (in 28 November 1997, as DMA Design) to Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 26, 2018) and even The Definitive Edition Trilogy (November 11, 2021). As such, this release window is completely believable.
GTA 6 canceled rumor explored
It's understandable why fans have been coming up with the same question ("Is GTA 6 canceled?") over and over again. Rockstar Games have canceled several of their projects over the years. This includes Agent, Bully 2, a Grand Theft Auto 4 remaster, and several story mode DLCs for Grand Theft Auto 5 (which were later reincorported into GTA Online). However, it should be noted that Grand Theft Auto 6 is too big of a project to be canceled.
The game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product in history, and Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is well-aware of this fact. They've reassured only recently that the game will indeed come out, as expected, in Fall 2025, thereby ruling out any rumors about delays. Take-Two revealed this release window at the cost of their stocks plummeting, so there's no doubt that they're pretty serious about it.
So, while waiting for the next trailer, any rumors about the game being canceled right now should be taken with a grain of salt.
