- GTA 6 was delayed to May 2026 earlier this year.
- An insider states that internal chatter at Rockstar Games suggests another delay to September 2026 is possible.
- The same report also outlines pricing for the various editions of the game, including a $70 standard edition.
Following the latest delay, GTA 6 is just 10 months out from its release. The game has been in the works for nearly a decade at this point, creating unimaginable anticipation for a release sure to shake the industry.
As fans gear up for the May 26 launch, however, the threat of another delay looms over GTA 6. An insider has recently suggested that the game may not necessarily arrive on the promised release date.
Why it matters: Fans have already waited so long for the game that many have grown impatient. Therefore, another delay could be devastating for some dedicated fans.
According to insider Millie Amand, internal chatter at Rockstar Games points to GTA 6 potentially slipping to September 2026.
Although Rockstar Games currently appears confident in meeting its May 2026 release target, the studio has a history of multiple delays. Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed twice in a similar manner, finally launching in the last quarter of 2018.
Therefore, a similar pattern for GTA 6 would not be too out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, this would also mean that the game’s PC port would be pushed back even further, arriving sometime in late 2027 or early 2028.
Elsewhere, the insider details the various editions expected for the game and their prices. The standard GTA 6 version appears to start at $70 despite discussions around a price tag as high as $100.
The report suggests GTA 6 will still launch with a $110 premium edition, offering first GTA Online access and other perks. Elsewhere, a $90 deluxe edition will ship with early GTA Online access.
Only time will tell whether the reported delay comes to fruition, but fans will certainly hope to see the game arrive as soon as possible. Still, with Rockstar Games taking as much time as needed for GTA 6, a delay is certainly not outside of the realm of possibilities.
Would you mind if GTA 6 were delayed again? Do you intend to play the game as soon as it arrives? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
