GTA 6 Delay Rumors Resurface: Leaker Hints at September 2026 Release
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI may face another major delay, according to new insider reports. Reliable leaker Millie A suggests the already postponed May 2026 release could slip to September 2026, extending the wait for gaming’s most anticipated title. The leak also reveals potential pricing tiers, signaling premium editions could cost up to $110.
The Delay Details
Millie A, known for accurate industry insights, stated that “internal talks suggest a possible slip to September.” This aligns with fan skepticism following Rockstar’s February delay from Fall 2025 to May 2026. While unconfirmed, the rumor reflects development challenges for GTA 6’s unprecedented scale – including a living Vice City and dual protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Premium Pricing Structure
The leak outlines three potential editions:
- Standard Edition: $70 (base game)
- Deluxe Edition: $90 (includes early GTA Online access)
- Premium Edition: $110 (adds exclusive first-wave GTA Online perks)
This tiered approach mirrors industry trends but could test fan loyalty after a second delay.
Why This Matters
A September delay would mean:
- A near-13-year gap since GTA 5’s 2013 release
- Strategic positioning for 2026 holiday sales
- Increased pressure to deliver a flawless launch
Rockstar’s silence fuels speculation, but history shows their willingness to delay for polish (RDR 2 was pushed twice). With development costs rumored over $2B, another delay seems plausible.

Community Reaction
Fans expressed resignation on social media:

“$110 better include a real-life sports car.”
The original delay forced fan countdowns to reset after 485 days. A second setback could damage goodwill despite Rockstar’s quality reputation.
