Fill a bit of year-long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 with this chaotic new game
A truck smashes through a wall in Deliver at all Costs.

Look, it's time to face reality: it'll be another year until you can play Grand Theft Auto 6. I know, I know -- you were probably hoping that you'd wake up this week and discover that its delay to May 26, 2026 was just a dream. Sadly, them's the breaks, kid. You're going to need to play some other things to fill that gap, whether its something like Mafia: The Old Country or other vehicular crime games like Mario Kart World (at least the way I plan to play it).

However, pre-orders sold out quickly, indicating high demand across the globe.
