GTA 6 might not release as planned, as a new leak hints at a possible delay, which has raised fans’ hopes and concerns.
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), one of the most anticipated video games in recent years, might not hit the shelves as soon as fans hope. New insight from a reliable industry insider suggests that the game’s launch date could be postponed again, this time by several months. Originally planned for release in May 2026, GTA 6 may now be delayed until September 2026.
GTA 6 Release Date: Possible Delay Details
This potential change follows an earlier delay. Rockstar Games had initially set the release for fall 2025 but pushed it to May 26, 2026. The latest report comes from a known gaming leaker, Millie A, who shared insights about internal discussions at Rockstar Games that suggest a possible further postponement. If accurate, players will need to wait four more months beyond the already postponed date. However, Rockstar has not responded publicly to the leak. The studio continues to maintain the May 2026 date for now, and no official changes have been confirmed.
