- GTA 6 release date “leaked” has been debunked by retailer X Uruguay.
- The retailer listed a September 17, 2025 release date for GTA 6.
The latest Grand Theft Auto 6 release date “leak” has been debunked by the retailer that seemingly leaked it. It’s been a whopping 12 years since Grand Theft Auto 5 first hit store shelves, so it’s really no surprise that fans are extremely anxious to get their hands on Grand Theft Auto 6. Sadly, the Grand Theft Auto 6 updates have been few and far between ever since Rockstar Games confirmed that it was working on the game.
The most substantial update on the game came when Rockstar released the first GTA 6 trailer. Grand Theft Auto 6‘s first trailer confirmed that the game features a female protagonist named Lucia and that the game takes place in Rockstar’s version of Florida, Vice City included. It’s been over a year since the first GTA 6 trailer broke the internet, with Rockstar keeping quiet about when fans may expect the second trailer to drop.

Rumor: GTA 6 Editions Info Shared by Rockstar Leaker
A well-known leaker shares some new information about GTA 6 editions, which will supposedly mark a departure from Rockstar’s typical release strategy.
We still don’t know when GTA 6 trailer 2 will release to the masses. There are many unanswered questions when it comes to GTA 6, chief among them being the game’s release date. Recently, retailer X Uruguay listed a GTA 6 release date of September 17, 2025. A customer support conversation that was shared online showed a claim that the information came from PlayStation, seemingly lending credibility to the release date leak. However, the retailer has now come out to clarify that it did not receive any information from “any of the brands” about the GTA 6 release date. The retailer claims that it looked up the GTA 6 release date, saw GTA 5 released on September 17 in 2013, and then decided to open pre-orders for that day. The retailer has apologized to fans for listing a fake release date for Grand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto 6 September 17 Release Date Leak is Fake
September 17, 2025 was never a believable release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 because that day falls on a Wednesday. The vast majority of the time, new video game releases come out on Tuesdays or Fridays, though lately there have been many games dropped on Thursdays instead. Wednesdays, while not entirely unheard of, are very uncommon for video game release dates. That being said, it’s entirely possible that the real GTA 6 release date will mimic Grand Theft Auto 5 and land somewhere in September. The GTA 6 release window is fall 2025, after all.
That being said, Grand Theft Auto fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about GTA 6 until a concrete release date is announced, and even then, they should brace themselves for the possibility of a delay. Rockstar is notorious for delaying its games, and so some have already predicted that a GTA 6 release date delay pushing the game to 2026 is a real possibility. Time will tell, but if Rockstar is serious about launching GTA 6 in fall 2025, one has to imagine that Trailer 2 is coming sooner rather than later.
