Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated video games of all time. Gamers worldwide are eagerly awaiting any news regarding its release, but recent leaks suggest a potential further delay, pushing the launch to September 2026. This comes after an earlier postponement from the expected Fall 2025 window.
The Latest on GTA 6’s Release
According to “Millie A” on X (formerly Twitter), internal discussions at Rockstar Games point towards a new target release date of September 2026. This would be a significant shift from the previously confirmed May 2026 release. While Rockstar Games has yet to officially confirm these speculations, the gaming community is abuzz with the implications of another delay for the highly-anticipated title.
What About Pricing and Editions?
The same leak also shed light on potential pricing for different editions of GTA 6:
- Standard Edition: Anticipated to be priced at $69.99/£69.99.
- Deluxe Edition: Expected to cost $89.99/£89.99, possibly offering early access to GTA Online.
- Premium Edition: Rumored to be priced at $109.99/£109.99, potentially providing “first access” to GTA Online.
This tiered pricing strategy, with early access incentives for pricier editions, aligns with Rockstar’s history of leveraging the massive success of GTA 5’s online component. It’s a clear move to encourage higher-tier purchases and capitalize on the immense popularity of the online multiplayer experience.
The Anticipated Impact of GTA 6
Despite the potential delays, the financial projections for GTA 6 remain staggering. Investment firm Konvoy predicts that GTA 6 could rake in an astounding $7.6 billion in revenue within just the first two months of its release. Furthermore, the game is estimated to recover its colossal $2 billion budget in under 30 days, potentially cementing its place as the biggest launch in the history of the gaming industry.
