GTA 6 Editions and Delay Rumors: Buckle Up, It's Gonna Be a Wild Ride!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Rumors are swirling about GTA 6's potential editions and pricing, along with a possible second delay pushing the release into September 2026, so it may be worth waiting for official confirmation before pre-ordering. As always, treat these whispers with a dose of skepticism and buckle up for the long haul.
Right, so word on the digital street (courtesy of Game Rant and a leaker known as Millie A) is that Grand Theft Auto 6 might be landing in our laps with a few different flavors and, potentially, a slightly longer wait than we initially thought. Hold onto your hats, folks, because this could get bumpy.
Apparently, Rockstar's planning at least three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. Now, Millie A's track record is... let's call it 'patchy.' They've had some hits and some misses, like predicting the LEGO 2K Drive game but whiffing on some Hogwarts Legacy details. So, take this all with a healthy pinch of salt, yeah?
The rumored pricing for the UK is as follows: Standard at £69.99, Deluxe at £89.99, and Premium at £109.99. Assuming those numbers hold up, we're looking at potentially $79.99 for the base game in the States. Sounds about right, doesn't it? The Deluxe and Premium editions are supposedly going to grant early access to GTA 6 Online, with the Premium lads getting in even earlier. But what if you're not into online play? Is the base edition the winner then?
There's also chatter about Sony potentially bundling GTA 6 with PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles as part of a marketing deal. Could be a sweet deal for those who haven't made the leap yet, but sounds a bit...standard, eh?
Now, the juicy bit: the delay rumors. Initial whispers pointed to a 2025 release, which then shifted to May 2026. But Millie A's dropped a bombshell suggesting it could slip *again*, potentially landing in September 2026. September 2026! That's practically an eternity in gaming years. But, y'know, Rockstar likes to polish their games. Remember how long we waited for Red Dead Redemption 2?
Back in January, another Rockstar insider, Tez2, mentioned that Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar's parent company) might sell GTA 6 Online as a standalone title from day one. That doesn't necessarily contradict these new claims, but it does add another layer of complexity to the whole thing. What exactly is Rockstar planning here?
Look, at this stage, it's all speculation. Even if Millie A is spot on, plans can change quicker than you can say "microtransaction." But it's certainly got the gaming world buzzing, hasn't it? What edition are you eyeing up, mate? And more importantly, are you prepared for another potential delay? Because if there's one thing we've learned about big game releases, it's that patience is a virtue. Or, at least, a necessity.
