ROCKSTAR/GAMERS – A new leak emerging from industry sources has claimed that Grand Theft Auto VI could face yet another delay, potentially pushing its launch to September 2026. The blockbuster sequel was previously expected to release sooner, but the revised schedule indicates continued development challenges.
Industry insiders suggest the delay stems from Rockstar’s decision to refine gameplay mechanics, graphic fidelity, and world-building. Reports indicate that early development builds still require extensive polish to meet Rockstar’s high standards, especially given the game’s ambition to feature multiple protagonists and an expansive open world.
Analysts believe the extended timeline may allow Rockstar to embrace next-generation hardware capabilities more fully and address fan expectations shaped by years of anticipation. However, prolonged delays also risk dampening momentum among core audiences and could strain publisher Take-Two’s financial forecasting.
Rockstar has not issued an official statement on the leak, and the company maintains its policy of silence until formal announcements. Fans have expressed mixed reactions—some welcome the extra development time for quality assurance, while others voice frustration over the ever-shifting release window.
Despite the delay, anticipation remains high for GTA VI as one of gaming’s most eagerly awaited titles—expected to redefine open-world storytelling and procedural immersion in the industry.
