GTA 6 may face new delay to September 2026, leak claims
The game is currently scheduled to launch on May 26 2026, but a source known as Millie A on X has claimed internal discussions point to a further four‑month postponement.
In addition to the delay talk, the leak includes pricing details for the game's editions in the UK. The standard version is allegedly priced at £69.99, while the deluxe edition is set at £89.99 and the premium edition at £109.99, matching earlier rumours about a potential $100 standard version in the United States.
According to the leak, purchasing the deluxe edition grants early access to GTA Online, while the premium edition offers first access. Although the distinction between 'early access' and 'first access' is not fully explained, the structure appears to incentivise players to opt for higher‑tier editions.
Fans and analysts have expressed caution due to the leaker's mixed track record. However, given the history of delays affecting Rockstar releases—including multiple postponements for Red Dead Redemption 2 and previous GTA titles—the possibility that GTA 6 could slip further does not seem implausible.
If the leak holds true, those planning to purchase GTA Online access may find themselves waiting depending on the edition they choose. The standard edition may involve a delay in online access, although the duration remains unclear.
Rockstar has not commented publicly on the reported delay or pricing information. Fans are encouraged to treat the details with scepticism until official confirmation is provided.

EA Entertainment president outlines Battlefield 6 release date, Sims movie plans and multiplayer revamp
EA Entertainment president Laura Miele has confirmed that Battlefield 6 will launch on October 10, one of the first major titles to occupy a slot previously marked for GTA 6, which was moved to May 2026. Miele told Variety that the decision followed careful internal planning, and the release timing was fixed long before Rockstar made its schedule adjustments. Alongside the Battlefield 6 announcement, Miele revealed that EA is aggressively expanding The Sims franchise with an upcoming multiplayer platform. The update, part of a broader re‑engineering of the Sims experience, will support multiplayer play, mobile accessibility, new content types and co-op 'cozy games.' Miele described the Sims ecosystem as 'one of the biggest growth opportunities' for EA. The company is also backing The Sims movie, produced with Amazon MGM and Margot Robbie's LuckyChap. Miele stated the film is the product of years of collaboration, and EA is exploring avenues to synchronise game and film content. Future tie‑ins could include co‑created experiences that embrace both linear and interactive storytelling. Miele also discussed EA's balance of in‑house and licensed offerings. An upcoming Star Wars Jedi 3 game is in development at Respawn, along with expansion of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, continued support for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and a planned Iron Man game. These titles sit alongside existing franchises like Battlefield, Apex Legends, Sims and Skate in a diversified portfolio. On transmedia development, Miele emphasised the untapped narrative potential in Apex Legends, calling the game's world 'rich' and suitable for television or film adaptation. She reiterated that EA intends to handle such expansions in ways that respect the existing brands and community.

ENDS explores London's underbelly in 2026 beta
A new role-playing game, ENDS, is poised to captivate fans of the Grand Theft Auto series with its immersive open-world experience set in London's underbelly. Developed by Concrete Realms, the single-player action-adventure title contrasts the city's wealth with its harsh realities, promising a narrative-driven crime drama. ENDS is slated for release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with an early access beta planned for Q1 2026 on Steam. Players will control Rahim, navigating life alongside friends Sonny and Reece in a coming-of-age tale exploring brotherhood, family, and loyalty. The game blends sandbox and RPG mechanics, offering choice-based gameplay akin to Detroit Become Human, allowing players to shape Rahim's story. Realistic combat, exploration, and an in-game phone system for tasks and communication enhance immersion. Drivable cars enable players to roam London, uncovering ways to earn money and build Rahim's future. Drawing inspiration from GTA's open-world formula, ENDS aims to deliver grounded storytelling. A recent developer log showcased early combat and exploration footage, highlighting fist-fights and the expansive city environment. Having surpassed its Kickstarter funding goal, Concrete Realms is focusing on refining the game for its beta launch. While ENDS joins titles like Saints Row and Watch Dogs in emulating GTA's appeal, its unique London setting and focus on narrative depth set it apart. Fans of open-world RPGs can track updates as the 2026 beta approaches.
