A fresh GTA 6 delay rumor is making waves in the gaming community, and it might not be the news fans were hoping for. According to a new leak, Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated title Grand Theft Auto VI could be postponed once again, pushing its release further into 2026.
What the Leak Says about GTA 6 Delay?
Rockstar Games had previously confirmed that GTA 6 would release on May 26, 2026. However, a recent leak by well-known (but not always reliable) leaker Millie A claims that the release date may now be pushed further to September 2026. According to the leak, internal discussions at Rockstar have hinted at a four-month delay, although no official statement has been made.
The information reportedly comes from internal discussions at Rockstar Games. If true, this would mark another delay for a major title from the company – a pattern seen with Red Dead Redemption 2 and previous GTA games.
GTA 6 Price Leak
Alongside the rumored delay, the leak also provides potential pricing for GTA 6 editions in the UK:
- Standard Edition: £69.99
- Deluxe Edition: £89.99
- Premium Edition: £109.99
If the pricing leak proves to be accurate, it appears that Rockstar may implement staggered access to GTA Online based on the edition purchased. Reportedly, players who purchase the Deluxe Edition will receive early access to GTA Online, while those who opt for the Premium Edition will get first access. The exact distinction between “early” and “first” access remains unclear, but it suggests a tiered incentive model aimed at encouraging higher-tier purchases.
This rumored pricing structure may also be fueling speculation that GTA 6 could cost as much as $100 in the U.S. market. Despite the backlash such pricing might generate, history suggests a significant portion of the fanbase could still be willing to pay, especially given the overwhelming success of GTA Online. Rockstar Games is likely hoping to replicate that success with the next iteration of its online platform.

Final Thoughts
While the source behind this leak doesn’t have a flawless reputation, it’s important to consider Rockstar’s history of game delays. Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed multiple times, and no major GTA title has released without at least one postponement. So, although unconfirmed, another GTA 6 delay wouldn’t be entirely unexpected.
Whether or not this leak proves accurate, one thing is certain: Rockstar Games fans are eagerly waiting for any official updates on GTA 6. With rumors about delays, pricing, and online access swirling, it’s best to take all unofficial information with caution.
Stay tuned for more updates, and happy gaming!
