That didn't take long. One day after it was announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 would be delayed to 2026 instead of its original Fall 2025 release fans came up with a new theory. Right after the delay many fans expressed their frustration saying their excitement was gone.
Rockstar Games might be thinking ahead while others aren’t. A GTA 6 fan on Twitter pointed out that the game’s release date May 26 2026. is also the anniversary of Bonnie and Clyde’s funeral. Bonnie and Clyde were a famous criminal couple known for their bank robberies in the early 1900s.
This is important because some people think based on good evidence that the story in GTA 6 will be Rockstar's version of Bonnie & Clyde. The first trailer hinted at this which supports the theory.
According to the Texas NotebookClyde's funeral was on May 25 1934. at sunset and Bonnie's was the next day May 26. in the afternoon. A newspaper from that time also says that 50,000 people came to see their bodies before their private services.
This really happened and isn’t just a fan theory like the moon theory. Next year. May 26 will fall on a Tuesday the day Triple-A games used to release before Fridays became more common. Whether Rockstar picked this on purpose or it's just a coincidence the hype is definitely rising again.
