"A few more months won't hurt": Fans react to new GTA 6 delay rumor

Rockstar Games has already delayed GTA 6 once, from the Fall of 2025 to May 26, 2026. This happened after a prolonged period of no information on the upcoming title, following its debut trailer in December 2023. While no further delays have been announced so far, leaker Millie A (@millieamand on X) recently claimed that the game might be pushed back a few months.

Needless to say, the report garnered a lot of attention from the Grand Theft Auto fanbase, particularly since Millie A has previously shared accurate reports regarding prominent events.

Notably, some fans seemingly won't be upset if the game gets delayed, such as @TheGTAVerse:

"We’ve waited so many years… a few more months won’t hurt. let them polish it!"

Another fan, @insanely__sane1, concurred with the sentiment, essentially stating that the more time GTA 6 development takes, the better the final product would be.

"The more it delays, the sweeter the fruit becomes !"

@AliiDesiderooo wouldn't mind waiting either, and prefers to avoid a Cyberpunk 2077-like situation.

For those unaware, Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated games of its time, but had a controversial launch and faced tons of bugs, glitches, and other problems. CD Projekt RED did manage to fix the issues and deliver a remarkable experience, but that took several patches and updates.

Having said that, a certain legion of fans feels like they've waited enough and don't want any further delays. @Stealth0Five, for example, believes Rockstar has had enough time:

"And in those years they had enough time to deliver their s***. The wait is more than enough atp."

@lerenardgentil suggests releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 and dropping updates, as 12 years of waiting is enough.

Leaker claims GTA 6 might be delayed to September 2026

Millie A recently claimed that internal talks (seemingly at Rockstar) are hinting at Grand Theft Auto 6 getting delayed to September 2026. They have accurately leaked some news in the past, including a PlayStation Showcase being planned for September 2021, and Insomniac Games' Wolverine title with a cryptic teaser before the official announcement. Consequently, fans are taking note of this GTA 6 delay rumor.

Notably, the developer has a history of delays for major releases. For example, its last two big titles, GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, faced delays. Hence, it wouldn't be unrealistic if Grand Theft Auto 6 got pushed back again.

However, it must be noted that no such suggestions have been made officially so far. Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track for its May 26, 2026, release date. Additionally, Millie A's tweet in question has been deleted.

So readers are advised to take the rumor with a grain of salt and wait for official word from Rockstar.
