Rockstar's delay for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S also means the inevitable PC edition, which hasn't been announced, could come even later.

"GTA 5 has been the standard-bearer, not just for the company but for the industry, for three console generations now"

People are still buying new copies of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 and until GTA 6 comes out, those numbers stand to only go up.

According to billbil-kun, writing for Dealabs, Grand Theft Auto V is returning to PlayStation Plus. In specific, it will be coming back in the PlayStation Plus Extra tier on November 18, 2025. Given the timing, fans may speculate that this is happening as PR management after the delay. But that may not be the case, as much as that may surprise you.

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed how many units of Grand Theft Auto 5 have been sold over its 12-year lifespan.

A November 2026 release date means GTA 6 will be released an unfathomable 13 years after its predecessor, and eight years after Rockstar’s last game, Red Dead Redemption 2. By contrast, Red Dead 2 came five years after GTA 5, which came five years after GTA 4.

For $8/month, you can get GTA Online, Red Dead Redemption, Bully, LA Noire, and other games, in addition to further benefits.

GTA fans often lament the loss of single-player story DLC for GTA 5 after it did so well for previous GTA games. Houser said he remains a big fan of single-player DLC, and is hoping to make some as part of his new company, Absurd Ventures.
