GTA 6 might be delayed again, according to a new leak — here's when the game could launch
As previously reported, GTA 6 has been delayed until 2026. Specifically, to May 26, 2026. That's disappointing enough, but X user and known leaker Millie A (via Notebook Check) claims that the eagerly anticipated Rockstar Games title will be delayed by another four months, citing internal talks.
If true, then we might not see GTA 6 arrive until September of 2026.
The leaker also posted about the cost of each edition of GTA 6 in the UK. The standard edition is reportedly priced at £69.99, while the deluxe edition costs £89.99.
Then there's the premium edition, which is supposed to cost £109.99. If this is true, then the pricing of the premium edition may have sparked all those rumors about the game costing $100.
The leak also claims that those who purchase the deluxe edition will get early access to GTA Online, and those who buy the premium edition will gain first access. We can't say for sure what the difference is between 'early' access and 'first' access, but this seems like a strategy to get folks to buy the more expensive versions of the game.
And despite the furor over GTA 6 potentially costing $100, a significant number of people might still be willing to pay. After all, GTA Online is the primary reason for GTA 5's insane success. Rockstar Games is no doubt counting on the successor online mode to be just as popular (and profitable).

If this part of the leak is genuine, those who opt for the standard edition of GTA 6 may have to wait to play GTA Online, although the leak doesn't specify how long that wait could be.
The leaker in question doesn't have the best track record, so you might want to be more skeptical than usual with this report. However, considering how Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed twice (and both previous GTA games were delayed at least once), it wouldn't be at all surprising if GTA 6 does get delayed again, despite currently having a fixed release date. Stay tuned for more news as we hear it.

It Happened In "Red Dead Redemption 2"...A Better Late Than Never Review
I have owned a PlayStation 4 since my PlayStation 3 stopped working. This was quite a tragedy for me, as the PlayStation 3 had the advantage of being able to play both PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 games. You can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the fourth iteration of the console did not offer backward compatibility. How rude! However, the PlayStation 4 did provide some fantastic titles, many of which were exclusive to the system. So, just like when I purchased the PlayStation 3, I selected a number of game titles to enjoy on my new console. Red Dead Redemption 2 That was over six years ago, and the PlayStation 5 has been out for most of that time. What can I say…I'm slow to adapt. But one of those titles I purchased for the PS4 was Red Dead Redemption 2. I had heard great things about the Rockstar game, and it sounded like exactly what I would enjoy—riding horses, robbing trains, banks, and riverboats. What's not to like? The problem was that, like with the other titles I bought, I never found the time to play them. Life tends to get in the way, especially when you're over 60 years old. That is, until around June of this year, when I finally decided to give Red Dead Redemption 2 a try . Man…what took me so long? 'Kill Them that Needs Killing!' It is appropriate that it is made by Rock Star Games because Red Dead Redemption 2 ROCKS! A great background story that, by the time it is all said and done, (depending on your game choices) touches the heart. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. The game environment is so wide-open and chock-full of opportunities to try different things, make some bad or good choices, and either kill or be killed. For the most part, I proceeded under the mantra that Arthur Morgan followed: 'Kill them that needs killing.' The Lemoyne Raiders The Skinner Brothers The Murfree Brood I won't deny that I indulged in a bit of vengeance now and then, especially when it came to the Lemoyne Raiders, the Skinner Brothers, or the Murfree Brood. Those irritating pests multiplied like cockroaches—no matter how many you took out, there were always more. That was fine by me. I had a bullet, an arrow, or a knife ready for each of them. And if all else failed, I'd trample them with my horse, turning them into a western-style speed bump. My Kingdom for a Horse When it comes to horses, it's hard not to develop a bond with your noble steed. It can be quite painful when your faithful companion meets an untimely demise, whether due to an enemy's actions or, in some instances, your own carelessness. Lesson: 'Never play the game when you are getting sleepy.' Right over the cliff. Opps…Sorry Buddy! Hopefully, you've acquired some Horse Revival tonic to bring your horse back from the brink of death. If not, you can always capture and tame a new horse, provided you have the necessary skills. I was pretty adept at this with Arthur, while John has struggled with it almost as much as he struggles to swim. (A word of advice: if a task requires swimming, it's better to use Arthur. John swims like a boulder, sinking straight down.) With Red Dead Redemption 2 , it's important to note that the game's main storyline is influenced by your actions, which can lead to a high honor or low honor status. The choice is ultimately yours. However, it can sometimes be unclear what the game interprets as high or low honor. For example, during the epilogue, I chose to fulfill a request from Uncle, one of the gang members, to gather ingredients for an ant-itch salve. The last ingredient was a skunk carcass. So I was hanging around in a wooded area to bring down the ferocious purveyor of bad odor. But, before I stumbled onto one, it got dark so I decided to camp for the night. However, before I could decide to make some vittles or get some sleep, here came two Skinner Brothers who immediately shot at me. Remembering our motto, 'Kill them that needs killing,' I shot them both. The game decided that my actions were low honor. What did it expect me to do? Invite them into camp for 'some delicious Smores?' As I told my mother many times when I was a kid and a fight was involved…'They Started IT!' There are so many things I can say about this big, beautiful game, but I want to comment on a few scenarios that I found interesting, infuriating, and even sometimes funny. Wanted for Murder I was in the epilogue as John, working toward catching all the 'Legendary Fish.' As I reached my next destination, I encountered two riders racing in the opposite direction like bats out of hell. Naturally, I couldn't quite get out of the way, and we crashed into each other. Once I picked myself off the ground, I saw what the issue was. A mountain lion had been chasing them, and now it had its sights on me. Nothing a Cattlemen's Revolver couldn't handle. Especially when you empty the chamber into the cat, but here's where the weird thing happened. Above John's head was the blurb, 'Wanted for Murder: John Marston.' MURDER??? It was not in an area that designated him as a wanted man. And, it was an accident! We BOTH crashed to the ground. Why one of the other riders died, I had no idea. But MURDER??!! The only thing that might have made THAT claim was the Mountain Lion. Needless to say, I jumped on my horse and ran. In a world that could claim murder in THAT situation, I wasn't taking a chance with the local justice system. Better to run off and pay off the $15 Bounty later. Although this was not the last time a Mountain Lion proved to be problematic. Damn Mountain Lion I am still on my Legendary Fish search. On my journey, I found a deserted cabin. Exploring the inside of the cabin, I found a bed just calling my name. I take advantage of the opportunity and get in some well-needed shut-eye. I wake up with a gleam in my eye and the hope of more Legendary Fish. Only to step outside the cabin and immediately, a loud growl, and I am under a snarling mass of bad intentions with a grip on my neck…DEAD! It was the ONLY time I was legitimately startled because I didn't expect it at all. Damn you, Mountain Lion! But that's not all… I Just Want to Sell My Legendary Animal If you want to almost to guarantee a visit from either the aforementioned villainous groups, a pack of wolves, or that accursed bad-tempered kitty, try to bring your freshly captured Legendary trophy to the trapper. On numerous journeys, I was assaulted by either the Raiders, the Skinner Brothers, or the Murfree Brood, followed by a pack of wolves. While my first instinct is to stand my ground and fight, I know that if I am killed, that trophy disappears. So, once again, I get on my 'high horse' and run like hell. Only to get close to the trapper and run once again into that damned cat. Again, it killed me before I could fight it off. I HATE those things! No Tail-Gating If there's one thing that's common in RDR2, it's the ill-tempered cowboys you encounter when you're going in the same direction they are. Especially if they feel you're 'following too closely.' They usually warn you that they don't want your company or might ask, 'What's wrong with you?' But sometimes, they escalate and try to pick a fight. The idea that you might just be heading the same way doesn't seem to occur to them. One time in Saint Denis, an aggressive cowboy took it to the extreme. He followed me and opened fire, killing my horse. To avoid getting on the law's radar, I decided to just beat him down instead of shooting back. Apparently, the Saint Denis police is okay with fisticuffs. But then again, the law in Saint Denis can be quite blind. Turning a Blind Eye In a previous visit to that burgeoning city of Saint Denis, I had a minor issue with my firearm and accidentally shot a wall in the city proper. No harm no foul…the wall probably deserved it. A patrolman came over, and I professed my innocence, claiming a late night as a possible excuse. I was given a warning and told to leave town. FINE! I don't like Saint Denis anyway. The place is RIFE with vampires and ill-tempered citizens. (Okay, only ONE vampire, and you have to complete the mission to find him) So I left the city only to return later for that aforementioned vampire search. As I wandered the city streets, a poor, unfortunate woman was lying dead on the street, an apparent victim of a 'hit and ride.' As I walked past the poor victim, a policeman saw me and exclaimed that 'he couldn't believe I had come back and he was keeping an eye on me.' Apparently, his 'eye' didn't include the poor woman's demise as he (and every other patrolman) ignored her while bystanders gaped. They might want to rethink their hiring practices for Saint Denis law enforcement. In a Cloud of Dust… The game is expansive and a lot of fun. Even after finishing the main story, I'm still discovering new activities to engage in. I've been bounty hunting, identifying new plants and animals, locating rock carvings and dinosaur bones, and trying to complete the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. Well, actually, you're challenged to race your horse between various locations within a set time, aiming to finish 'in a cloud of dust.' For instance, you need to get from Valentine to Rhodes in less than 5 minutes, or from Strawberry to Saint Denis in under 9 minutes without touching the water. There's also a challenge to race from Van Horn to Blackwater in less than 17 minutes, again without touching water. Are you up for the challenge? I guess we'll find out soon! If you have the opportunity, you need to try this great game. No matter that it has a bit of years on it now. Red Dead Redemption 2 still holds up well. You will not be disappointed.

Beginner's Guide to Gaming with the Best Broadband Plans in Vadodara
In today's connected world, gaming has evolved far beyond a casual pastime. Whether you're competing in high-stakes tournaments or relaxing with friends in a virtual world, your internet connection plays a critical role. If you live in Vadodara and are serious about leveling up your gaming experience, choosing the best broadband plans in Vadodara is your first and most important move. This beginner-friendly guide will walk you through why your internet plan matters for gaming, what features to prioritize, and how to pick the right broadband service to keep you in the game—literally. Let's begin with the basics. Why is your internet connection so vital for gaming? While it may seem like only speed matters, there's much more under the surface. Latency, or 'ping,' is the delay between your command and the game server's response. In fast-paced games like Fortnite, Valorant, or Apex Legends, every millisecond counts. The lower your latency, the smoother your game. A high-speed, low-latency broadband plan ensures that your moves register in real-time. Modern games are huge. Just downloading titles like Call of Duty or Red Dead Redemption 2 can take hours on a slow connection. High-speed broadband reduces wait times, letting you jump into action faster. Online gaming requires stable connectivity. If your connection drops or slows down suddenly, you risk getting kicked out of the match—or worse, losing progress. A strong broadband plan eliminates such interruptions. If you're into streaming your gameplay on platforms like YouTube, Facebook Gaming, or Twitch, you'll need excellent upload speeds too. A robust broadband plan ensures your stream remains clear and buffer-free. Vadodara has witnessed a digital transformation in recent years. With more youth embracing gaming as a hobby and even a career, the demand for stable, high-speed internet has skyrocketed. Local gaming cafes are becoming esports hubs, while casual gamers at home are joining online multiplayer sessions and streaming gameplay. As cloud gaming, online competitions, and multiplayer titles grow more popular, gamers in Vadodara are seeking the best broadband plans that can keep up. Now that you understand why your internet matters, let's explore what makes a broadband plan ideal for gaming. Most broadband plans promote download speed, which is crucial for downloading games, streaming, and general browsing. However, for gamers, upload speed is equally important—especially for multiplayer games and streaming. Recommended Download Speed: 100 Mbps or higher Recommended Upload Speed: 30 Mbps or higher Games are large and updates are frequent. Add game streaming and voice chat, and your data consumption increases dramatically. Choosing a plan with unlimited data ensures you can play and stream freely without fear of hitting data caps. Gaming demands consistency. A fast connection with frequent disconnections is frustrating. You need an ISP that offers consistent uptime and minimal packet loss during peak hours. For wireless gaming on mobiles, consoles, or laptops, strong Wi-Fi coverage is essential. Choose a provider that offers reliable routers or mesh systems with their plans. When talking about the best broadband plans in Vadodara, it's impossible not to mention YOU Broadband. Known for its high-speed fiber optic internet and excellent service quality, YOU Broadband is a favorite among gamers in the city. ✅ High-Speed Plans for Every Need YOU Broadband offers flexible plans starting from 100 Mbps and going up to 350 Mbps, ideal for gaming, streaming, and multitasking. ✅ Truly Unlimited Data No throttling. No hidden caps. YOU Broadband's plans come with unlimited data so you can download massive games, stream hours of content, and play uninterrupted. ✅ Consistent Performance YOU Broadband uses fiber-optic infrastructure, ensuring low latency and high uptime, even during peak usage hours. ✅ Affordable Pricing From short-term plans to yearly subscriptions, YOU Broadband offers great value with no compromise on speed or reliability. ✅ Responsive Customer Support Gamers need immediate support when something goes wrong. YOU Broadband's dedicated customer care team ensures quick resolutions. Once you've selected a broadband plan from YOU Broadband or another trusted provider in Vadodara, you can further enhance your gaming setup. While Wi-Fi is convenient, Ethernet connections are faster and more stable—ideal for PC and console gaming. If you use Wi-Fi, invest in a dual-band or tri-band router with gaming features like QoS (Quality of Service), which prioritizes game traffic. Keep your router in a central, elevated location to minimize interference and maximize signal coverage. When gaming, avoid streaming or downloading on other devices on the same network to reduce lag. Here are some popular games enjoyed by Vadodara gamers that require fast, stable broadband: PC & Console : Fortnite, Valorant, FIFA, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare : Fortnite, Valorant, FIFA, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Mobile : PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Free Fire : PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Free Fire Cross-Platform : Rocket League, Minecraft, Apex Legends : Rocket League, Minecraft, Apex Legends Cloud Gaming: Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, Google Stadia All these games perform best with high-speed internet and unlimited data—just what YOU Broadband delivers. Gaming is more than just playing—it's about winning, competing, connecting, and sharing experiences. Without the right broadband connection, you're at risk of missing out on all of that. If you're searching for the best broadband plans in Vadodara, especially for gaming, YOU Broadband offers everything a gamer needs: speed, stability, unlimited usage, and top-tier support. Take the next step, upgrade your connection, and unlock a new level of online gaming. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Stranger Things creator hypes up season 5 in new update — promises their 'favorite, most eventful first episode' and more
We're all waiting for "Stranger Things" season 5 to come to Netflix later this year, and we've just gotten a progress update courtesy of the series' creators, the Duffer Brothers. Over on Instagram, Ross Duffer recently revealed that they've officially locked the first two episodes of "Stranger Things" — and he's hyping up what's in store. Alongside behind-the-scenes photos of title cards for "The Crawl" and "The Vanishing Of...", he teased that the series premiere was their "favorite, most eventful first episode" since the first chapter, and that episode features "the craziest cold open" they've ever done. A post shared by Ross Duffer (@rossduffer) A photo posted by on "Chapters One and Two: locked, mixed, scored, colored, DONE," Ross wrote in the captions.'The Crawl' is our favorite, most eventful first episode since Season 1. 'The Vanishing of…' (yeah yeah you think you know who blah blah) has by far the craziest cold open we've ever done. One of the sequences we're most proud of this season." One thing Ross wasn't allowed to share was how long these first episodes will be — "I would tell you runtimes, but I was told not to", he added — but given the brothers have previously billed the final chapter as being "like eight blockbuster movies," , we could well be streaming some feature-length future installments later in the year. Given how exciting that recently released "Stranger Things" season 5 trailer was and that David Harbour has called the finale "the best episode they've ever done", I'm feeling more and more confident that this is going to be worth the wait. Here's hoping the show can deliver on all that hype. If you're not already aware of the "Stranger Things" season 5 release schedule, the final, eight-episode season has been split into three separate volumes. Volume 1 November 26 Episodes 1-4 Volume 2 December 25 Episodes 5-7 Volume 3 December 31 Episode 8 Volume 1 arrives on November 26 and will contain episodes 1-4. Volume 2 will feature episodes 5 through 7 and is scheduled to drop on Christmas Day (December 25), and the series finale will drop a few days later on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
