Anticipated release of GTA 6 could be delayed further, hints a fresh leak - potential dates for the game's debut
In the world of technology and gaming, Tom's Guide keeps you updated with the latest news, reviews, and how-tos. Recently, a leak by a social media user named Millie A has caused a stir among GTA fans, suggesting a potential delay to the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6).
According to the leak, those who purchase the premium or deluxe edition of GTA 6 may gain early access to GTA Online, while those who opt for the standard edition might have to wait. However, the length of this wait remains unspecified. The leaked information has sparked rumors about the game costing $100 for the premium edition, but it's important to note that this hasn't been confirmed by Rockstar Games.
The current official release date for GTA 6 is May 26, 2026. Yet, this potential delay to September 2026 is a leak-based rumor with no official confirmation as of now. Rockstar Games has not acknowledged or confirmed the delay.
The success of GTA Online was a significant factor in the success of GTA 5, and it's likely that Rockstar Games is counting on the successor online mode of GTA 6 to be just as popular (and profitable).
It's worth noting that Millie A does not have a strong track record, which warrants a degree of skepticism. Reputed journalist Jason Schreier hinted at a possible delay in May 2025, but without specifying a new date.
Fans have reacted with concern and requests for Rockstar not to delay the game again if true. Given the history of Rockstar's games, with Red Dead Redemption 2 delayed twice, and both previous GTA games delayed at least once, another delay for GTA 6 is a possibility.
