The fresh timeline comes from gaming leaker Millie A, who posted on X (formerly Twitter) that “internal talks” at Rockstar have led to a possible shift in the release schedule. Millie’s claim, reported by Tom’s Guide, suggests that the much-hyped title could now be pushed back further — marking the second delay after Rockstar initially scrapped a Fall 2025 launch plan earlier this year.
Rockstar has not issued an official statement on the speculation. But given the studio’s history of long development cycles and high standards for polish, fans are bracing for yet another extended wait.
Leak also reveals GTA 6 price tiers — and early access perks
Millie A’s leak doesn’t stop at the release date. She also claims to have insider details about GTA 6’s pricing strategy — and it’s likely to fuel debates among fans.
Here’s what the reported pricing structure looks like:
- Standard Edition – $69.99 / £69.99
- Deluxe Edition – $89.99 / £89.99, with early access to GTA Online
- Premium Edition – $109.99 / £109.99, including “first access” to GTA Online
If accurate, this tiered approach is Rockstar’s way of monetising fan anticipation — especially by capitalising on GTA Online’s massive, ongoing popularity. The game’s online component became a money-printing machine for GTA V, and it appears Rockstar wants to carry forward that momentum with premium incentives.
GTA 6 may rake in $7.6 billion in 60 days
Despite the delays, financial projections for GTA 6 remain nothing short of staggering.Venture capital firm Konvoy estimates that the game could generate $7.6 billion in revenue within two months of launch. That figure would not only cover the game’s reported $2 billion development budget in under 30 days but potentially make GTA 6 the biggest launch in video game history.
Josh Chapman, a managing partner at Konvoy, shared the firm’s analysis on LinkedIn, calling GTA 6 the “most important game to ever release in the industry.” Their forecast assumes a base price around $80 and heavy demand driven by the franchise’s unmatched legacy and the viral success of its debut trailer.
If Konvoy’s prediction holds, GTA 6 could rewrite the record books — not just for video game launches, but for entertainment releases of any kind.
