A recent leak has ignited fresh speculation that Grand Theft Auto 6 could face another delay, potentially pushing its release back to September 2026.

The game is currently scheduled to launch on May 26 2026, but a source known as Millie A on X has claimed internal discussions point to a further four‑month postponement.

In addition to the delay talk, the leak includes pricing details for the game’s editions in the UK. The standard version is allegedly priced at £69.99, while the deluxe edition is set at £89.99 and the premium edition at £109.99, matching earlier rumours about a potential $100 standard version in the United States.

According to the leak, purchasing the deluxe edition grants early access to GTA Online, while the premium edition offers first access. Although the distinction between “early access” and “first access” is not fully explained, the structure appears to incentivise players to opt for higher‑tier editions.

Fans and analysts have expressed caution due to the leaker’s mixed track record. However, given the history of delays affecting Rockstar releases—including multiple postponements for Red Dead Redemption 2 and previous GTA titles—the possibility that GTA 6 could slip further does not seem implausible.

If the leak holds true, those planning to purchase GTA Online access may find themselves waiting depending on the edition they choose. The standard edition may involve a delay in online access, although the duration remains unclear.

Rockstar has not commented publicly on the reported delay or pricing information. Fans are encouraged to treat the details with scepticism until official confirmation is provided.
