  • Fans of the GTA franchise looking forward to the next installment have been waiting almost a decade, including a planning stage and then official build stage that began in 2020.
  • The release has faced several delays and set backs, initially targeted for 2025 but later pushed back to May 2026 - now supposedly some point in later 2026.
  • Chances of a 2026 release hit a low of 61% in 2025 when that first delay was announced as fans seemed to lose hope in the production, but have since resurged to 80%+.
  • Recently, multiple game play leaks have caused fans to regain hope, with widely-shared footage implying that a playable version of the game is now available.
  • Game creator Rockstar has also announced an Extended Look at the new GTA that will go live on Netflix towards the end of August.

  • Kalshi's own wording: "If GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) has been released on a major platform (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows) by Dec 31, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes."
  • Rockstar's own confirmed release date, November 19, 2026, already sits comfortably inside this window - the market is really pricing the risk of a third delay pushing the game into 2027.
  • No direct Polymarket equivalent exists for this specific window. The closest Polymarket contract asks the inverse question - 'GTA 6 launch postponed again?', resolving by Nov 19, 2026 - rather than a same-scale 'released by' market, so it isn't tracked on this page.
