GTA 6 may be delayed again, new leak hints at September 2026 release; what you should know
Image via: Rockstar Games Synopsis Grand Theft Auto VI may face another delay. Rockstar Games might release it in September 2026. Leaks suggest different game editions with varying prices. Standard Edition could cost $69.99. Deluxe and Premium Editions offer early access to GTA Online. Experts predict massive revenue. The game could generate $7.6 billion within two months. Another delay may be looming for Grand Theft Auto VI, according to a new leak that claims Rockstar Games is now eyeing a September 2026 launch — four months later than its most recently announced May 2026 release window. ADVERTISEMENT The fresh timeline comes from gaming leaker Millie A, who posted on X (formerly Twitter) that "internal talks" at Rockstar have led to a possible shift in the release schedule. Millie's claim, reported by Tom's Guide, suggests that the much-hyped title could now be pushed back further — marking the second delay after Rockstar initially scrapped a Fall 2025 launch plan earlier this year. Rockstar has not issued an official statement on the speculation. But given the studio's history of long development cycles and high standards for polish, fans are bracing for yet another extended wait. Millie A's leak doesn't stop at the release date. She also claims to have insider details about GTA 6's pricing strategy — and it's likely to fuel debates among what the reported pricing structure looks like: Standard Edition – $69.99 / £69.99 Deluxe Edition – $89.99 / £89.99, with early access to GTA Online Premium Edition – $109.99 / £109.99, including 'first access' to GTA Online If accurate, this tiered approach is Rockstar's way of monetising fan anticipation — especially by capitalising on GTA Online's massive, ongoing popularity. The game's online component became a money-printing machine for GTA V, and it appears Rockstar wants to carry forward that momentum with premium incentives. ADVERTISEMENT Despite the delays, financial projections for GTA 6 remain nothing short of capital firm Konvoy estimates that the game could generate $7.6 billion in revenue within two months of launch. That figure would not only cover the game's reported $2 billion development budget in under 30 days but potentially make GTA 6 the biggest launch in video game history. ADVERTISEMENT Josh Chapman, a managing partner at Konvoy, shared the firm's analysis on LinkedIn, calling GTA 6 the "most important game to ever release in the industry." Their forecast assumes a base price around $80 and heavy demand driven by the franchise's unmatched legacy and the viral success of its debut Konvoy's prediction holds, GTA 6 could rewrite the record books — not just for video game launches, but for entertainment releases of any kind.
