Given this dreadful news, bettors and gamers alike will now find odds on legal sports betting sites on whether or not the game will actually be released on time by the end of May or not.
Will GTA VI Release By May 31, 2026?
- Yes -270
- No +180
Things To Happen Before GTA 6 Is Released
What Will Happen Before GTA VI Release
- 2026 World Cup Starts +185
- 2027 Super Bowl +275
- 2027 Europa League Final +285
- 2027 Champions League Final +325
- 2027 Basketball World Cup Starts +400
- 2027 Rugby World Cup Starts +500

Prior to Rockstar announcing the delay, the memes were rolling in on absurd things that would happen before the game’s release. But this list might top them all. What’s even crazier is that these are relatively short odds—despite Rockstar announcing a firm release window. That said, even oddsmakers don’t seem confident GTA VI will hit the new date.
Betting on whether the game releases on time starts with comparing that date to the 2026 World Cup. The projected May 26 release date is just 15 days before the tournament begins. Additionally, Bovada is offering a 5-day grace period—meaning Rockstar has until May 31 to launch the game before the plus money entertainment odds
cash in.
