GTA 6 Release Potentially Pushed to 2026? Leaked $112 Price and Vice City Updates Stir Controversy

DOWNTOWN BURJ KHALIFA, UAE - March 12, 2025 - PRLog -- One fan, MysteriousBrick6057, commented: "The ideal playtime would be around 50 to 60 hours, not counting random encounters and side missions." Despite these swirling rumors, Take-Two Interactive has officially stated that the game is still on track for a fall 2025 release.

Adding to the controversy, Swiss retailer Brack.ch briefly listed GTA 6 at 99.00 CHF (approximately $112), raising concerns about the rising costs of AAA games. Destructoid reported that this price converts to around $112, though U.S. pricing may differ due to Switzerland's included VAT. The listing was later removed, but Brack reportedly confirmed the price was accurate.

While the potential delay has left many fans disappointed, leaked details about the game's open-world features have generated significant excitement. Internal documents reveal a wide range of activities, including fishing, backyard wrestling, DUI tests, and scuba diving across various regions of Vice City.

One fan, WeeklySavings, joked: "Imagine drunk driving and then getting pulled over for a DUI test."

Another, TheArgonianBoi77, speculated: "Could 'Big Cat Mansion' be a reference to Carole Baskin and Big Cat Rescue? She lives in Tampa, which is close to Miami."

Fishing, in particular, has emerged as a surprisingly popular feature among fans, with many comparing it to the fishing mechanics in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Ok_Cardiologist_54 shared: "If this was aimed at me and my constant whining about wanting fishing in the game, I'm sorry. I'm just really excited, lol."
