The Claim

Journalist Jason Schreier said that Grand Theft Auto VI is about 90% likely to release on November 19, 2026 with no further delays, after Rockstar Games opened pre-orders for the game.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

The official release target and pre-order opening are real, but the attributed Schreier quote is not supported. Credible reports say he treated the November 19, 2026 date as more solid than earlier plans while explicitly avoiding certainty and noting the game was still not fully content-complete. No reliable source shows him saying “about 90% likely” or promising there would be no further delays.

Caveats

  • This claim mixes verified company announcements with an unsupported paraphrase of a journalist’s remarks.
  • Qualitative comments like “more solid” were inflated into a precise 90% probability that no reliable source attributes to Schreier.
  • A stated release date and opened pre-orders do not guarantee that a game cannot be delayed again.
