GTA 6 may face new delay to September 2026, leak claims
A recent leak has ignited fresh speculation that Grand Theft Auto 6 could face another delay, potentially pushing its release back to September 2026. 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.

Millions are flocking to grow virtual gardens in viral Roblox game created by teenager
" 'The word I keep hearing used over and over to describe this particular game is that it's chill, which is just such a nice alternative. I get a lot of sort of that ' Advertisement FILE - The gaming platform Roblox is displayed on a tablet, Oct. 30, 2021, in New York. (AP Photo/Leon Keith, File) Leon Keith/Associated Press Advertisement Coincidence or not, 'Grow a Garden' soared to popularity around the same time that Take-Two Interactive announced it would delay the launch of its wildly anticipated 'Grand Theft Auto 6″ until next year. In late June, the gardening game logged 21.6 million concurrent players, surpassing 'Fortnite''s previous record of 15.2 million according to Roblox. Analysts who follow Roblox's stock say 'Grow a Garden' is helping boost the company's revenue and will push the company's quarterly earnings numbers above Wall Street's expectations. While it's not clear if the 'GTA' audience flocked to this simple gardening game to pass the time until then, the timing reignited the age-old debate about who gamers are and what titles are taken seriously by the video game establishment. It happened with 'Candy Crush,' with puzzle games, with 'Animal Crossing.' Are people who play cozy games true gamers? Or is the title reserved for the folks who shoot enemies in 'Call of Duty' or drive around creating mayhem in 'GTA'? 'There's a huge percentage of gamers that play Roblox and the actual industry just views it as like this esoterically immature platform of weird gameplay habits,' said Janzen Madsen, the New Zealand-based CEO and founder of Splitting Point studios, which acquired the game from its teenage creator. 'Well, I actually think in five years this is what player expectation is gonna be. And because you guys haven't embraced it, like you're not going to know how to make games.' Advertisement To start growing your garden, you'll need a Roblox account. The game will start you out with an empty plot and some money — sheckles — and a starter seed. From there, you can plant seeds, harvest and sell your crops and buy more seeds, animals or tools for your garden. While it is possible to play the game without spending real-world money, it will take longer. Once you sell enough crops, you earn money to buy more expensive seeds beyond basic carrots and blueberries. 'For me, I just, I really want to get all the rarest stuff. I'm a completionist, so I want everything and that's what's fun for me,' said For Roblox, which has faced a backlash for New players get help from more established peers who send them gifts and let them know when rare seeds become available in the seed shop. Advertisement Bozdech said that 'if you have the right supervision and guidance,' Roblox can be a positive experience for kids, allowing them to create their own designs or practice coding, for instance. 'Something like 'Grow a Garden,' particularly, is a nice opportunity maybe for parents and kids to play together,' she said. And perhaps the slow cultivating of a magical garden can benefit parents, too. 'It's hitting a nerve, you know?' Bozdech said. 'People need an escape from the world, I think we all do.'

Grand Theft Auto 6 sets May 26, 2026 release date but fans remain skeptical
Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 is now slated for release on May 26, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The new date comes after previous plans for a late‑2025 launch were delayed, underscoring the unpredictable nature of modern game development. Delays are common across the video game industry, often emerging even after dates are formally publicised. In this instance, Rockstar appears to have settled on May 2026 to allow sufficient time to polish the game. Yet commentary from both analysts and fans suggests continued caution, given the possibility of further postponements should additional development challenges arise. Notable questions remain concerning the game's availability on PC. Grand Theft Auto 6 is not confirmed for PC at launch, which could leave that audience waiting well beyond console release. Speculative timelines suggest a PC version might arrive in 2027 or 2028, but the delay could extend if release is deferred again. Industry observers note that major titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 suffered criticism for premature release, and as a result many studios now regard delays as beneficial rather than merely disappointing. Among the community, however, announcements of delay frequently evoke frustration, especially after release windows have already been communicated. While the May 26, 2026 date provides the first concrete timeline for Grand Theft Auto 6, fans are warned not to rely too heavily on it. All eyes now turn to Rockstar for any further updates in the coming months.

Grand Theft Auto 6, a.k.a. GTA 6, hype is never-ending. Amid other news, leaks, and rumours, there's a fresh wave of buzz around the game, and this time, it's not the characters or the gameplay; it is how smoothly the game might run on Sony's upcoming PS5 Pro. According to a popular X (formerly called Twitter) user, Detective Seeds, Rockstar is reportedly working closely with PlayStation engineers to optimise GTA 6 for the PS5 Pro. The game is already running at a stable 60 frames per second (fps) across multiple graphics setups. Rockstar and PlayStation team up to showcase GTA 6 on Sony hardware The claims don't stop there. As per Seeds, who is also known for his leaks and predictions, the collaboration is actually a part of a broader marketing partnership between Rockstar and PlayStation. The deal is apparently what's making such deep technical cooperation possible, aiming to highlight GTA 6's complete potential on Sony's hardware. Seeds wrote, 'As of right now, 60 fps is being achieved on the PS5 Pro only.' It is predicted that GTA 6 will have multiple graphical options on the PS5 Pro on release.

Both projects might be released ahead of a major PS5 Pro update expected in May 2026.
