GTA 6 was supposed to release early 2026, but the latest announcement from the developers has pushed the date back by almost six months. The postponement has left fans and gamers worldwide disappointed. However, a fan's troll post about the game's delay seems to have hit too close to the mark, leaving the gaming community stunned.

Here's everything you need to know about the troll post about GTA 6 delay that turned out to be prophetic.

User's troll post about GTA 6 delay turned out to be prophetic as Rockstar Games announces postponement

Rockstar Games has announced the new and updated release date of GTA 6 as November 19, 2026. This new date pushes the release back by 5 months and 3 weeks, creating an almost 6-month postponement. This led to widespread disappointment among fans alongside a tirade of memes and hilarious digs from major names.

However, a recent troll post by a user seems to have prophetically predicted the new release date for GTA 6. On November 4, 2025, user @mnm345x had jokingly posted that Rockstar might delay the game yet again and suggested that the new date could be November 18, 2026. However, the joke seems to have manifested into reality as the new release date is set for November 19, 2026.

While just one day apart, @mnm345x's troll post seems to have magically predicted Rockstar's third delay for GTA 6, prompting a viral reaction on the social media platform X. Many users commended the OP, calling him a prophet. On the other hand, other users joked that the delay was the OP's fault:

While fellow X users appreciated and teased the OP, @mnm345x, about their near-prophetic post, the gaming community will have to wait for a year before they can get their hands on the much-awaited title. With the initial date set for Autumn 2025, this new delay will mark over a year of postponement.

Long-time GTA fans and fellow gamers are hoping this six-month delay will be the final countdown before they can dive into the world of Jason and Lucia. With a cloud of controversy surrounding the recent string of firings at Rockstar Games, the developers have been in the middle of the social media spotlight for a while now.
