GTA 6 Release Likely Delayed, PC Specs and Price May Shock Fans

It’s been over a decade since Rockstar Games released GTA V, and the wait for GTA 6 has been nothing short of intense. With every leak and rumour, fans have scoured the internet for any hint of what the next installment might deliver. Despite Rockstar releasing an official GTA 6 trailer more than a year ago, details about the game remain under wraps, fueling anticipation around what could be the most awaited release of the year.

Expected Release Timeline

According to leaks and speculation, GTA 6 may arrive in September for next-gen consoles like the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. However, PC users might have to wait longer, with a release expected in early 2026 — a pattern Rockstar has followed in the past.

Estimated Pricing

Reports suggest that GTA 6 won’t come cheap. The standard edition is likely to be priced at ₹5,999, while special editions could reach up to ₹7,299. Internationally, the base game is expected to cost around $100 (approx. ₹9,000), making it one of the most expensive entries in the franchise.

Can Your PC Handle It?

Anticipation about the system requirements is growing as fans assess whether their PCs are up to the task. Rumoured specs include an Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, paired with a GTX 1080Ti or Radeon RX 5700XT GPU. Additionally, at least 8GB of RAM and 150GB of storage may be needed, although official requirements have yet to be confirmed.

Gameplay and Features

One of the major highlights is the introduction of Lucia, GTA’s first female lead, who is expected to share the spotlight with a male counterpart. Their dynamic hints at a storyline inspired by the infamous Bonnie and Clyde duo. The game is also expected to deliver a massive leap in graphics, more responsive AI, and upgraded physics systems.

Rockstar might overhaul the wanted system too. The days of losing the cops by merely repainting your car or hiding may be over. Instead, smarter police chases and realistic stealth mechanics are anticipated.

Second Trailer on the Horizon?

Speculation around a second trailer peaked on April 1, but it turned out to be a false alarm — likely an April Fool’s hoax. Still, insiders hint that a new trailer might drop later in April, further fueling excitement among fans.
