The feverish anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) hit another peak this week, fueled by a fresh wave of leaks attributed to a source with a track record in Rockstar-related rumours. While Rockstar Games remains characteristically silent, details circulating online from MillieAmand (@millieamand on Twitter, via Reddit) have set forums ablaze with discussions about potential delays, pricing structures, and the future of GTA Online.
The Source and the Claims
The information originates from MillieAmand, a figure known within gaming leak circles for previous, partially accurate Rockstar tidbits. Their latest claims, shared via social media and discussed extensively on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, present a multi-faceted picture of GTA 6's current standing:
- Potential Delay to Fiscal 2026?: The most attention-grabbing claim suggests internal discussions at Rockstar about a possible delay to the game's launch window. While the official target remains Fall 2025 (aligned with Take-Two's FY2026 guidance), MillieAmand states that development challenges, particularly related to the ambitious scale and polish of the game, could push the release into early calendar 2026 (still within Take-Two's FY2026, ending March 31, 2026). This echoes concerns raised by other industry analysts recently. Crucially, this is framed as a possibility under discussion, not a confirmed delay. Rockstar is notorious for delaying games to ensure quality, making this rumour plausible but unconfirmed.

- Pricing Structure Leaked?: MillieAmand provided specific pricing details for purported editions of GTA 6:
- Standard Edition: $69.99 USD
- Deluxe Edition: $99.99 USD (Includes story mode DLC, bonus in-game currency, unique vehicle/weapon)
- Collector's Edition: $149.99 USD (All Deluxe content plus physical items like map, art book, figurine, and additional substantial in-game currency/unique items).
- This aligns with industry trends towards premium pricing and multi-tiered editions, though the exact contents remain speculative.
- GTA Online Integration & Evolution: The leak heavily emphasizes GTA Online's central role from day one of GTA 6's launch. Key points include:
- Seamless Character Transfer (Limited): Players will reportedly be able to transfer their GTA Online character's appearance and possibly some legacy items to the new version running on the GTA 6 engine and map (Vice City and beyond). Crucially, progress, ranks, properties, and vehicles from the current GTA Online will not transfer. This aims to create a fresh start while acknowledging player identity.
- Massive Technical Overhaul: Expect significant improvements to loading times, server stability, and anti-cheat measures – addressing long-standing community complaints.
- Expanded Roleplay & Co-op: The new online experience is rumoured to place a stronger emphasis on cooperative activities and deeper roleplaying systems integrated from the ground up.
- Progressive World: The leak suggests GTA Online within GTA 6 will feature a more dynamic and evolving world, potentially influenced by player actions and major updates, moving beyond the static feel of the current version.
Caution: The Nature of Leaks
It is vital to emphasize that all this information comes from unofficial sources. Rockstar Games has not commented on these specific leaks. MillieAmand has had mixed accuracy in the past, sometimes hitting details correctly while missing the mark on others. While the pricing structure feels plausible given industry norms, and the Online details address known player desires, the potential delay is the most speculative and impactful claim.
Community Reaction and Awaiting Official Word
The gaming community is understandably divided. Some see the pricing and online details as logical evolutions, while the delay rumour sparks disappointment mixed with understanding if it means a more polished game. The confirmation of no full progress transfer in GTA Online is also generating significant discussion.
All eyes remain firmly fixed on Rockstar Games. Until they break their silence with an official trailer, release date confirmation, or statement addressing these rumours, the GTA 6 speculation, fueled by leaks like those from MillieAmand, will continue to run wild. For now, fans are advised to treat this information as intriguing, but unverified, gossip from the ever-churning rumour mill. We'll update this story if and when Rockstar provides official clarity.
