GTA 6 release date: November 19, 2026
Rockstar's official site puts Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Every claim here is traced to the source that carries it.
Last updated
Rockstar Games' official Grand Theft Auto VI site carries one release date: November 19, 2026.
That date comes from a Rockstar Newswire post titled “Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Set to Launch November 19, 2026”, published on November 6, 2025.
Wikipedia's infobox for the game lists the same date, 19 November 2026.
Platforms at launch
The official site lists two platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Rockstar marks PlayStation 5 as the “Plays Best On” platform for the game.
Wikipedia lists the same pair, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and nothing else.
What about a PC version?
Neither the platform list on Rockstar's official site nor the Wikipedia infobox contains a PC entry — both stop at PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Pre-order and editions
Rockstar opened pre-orders through a Newswire post published on June 24, 2026, titled “Pre-Order Grand Theft Auto VI on June 25”.
The official site lists an Ultimate Edition, described as “an exclusive collection of items threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story”.
Pre-orders carry the Vintage Vice City Pack — in Rockstar's words, “unique benefits that flash back to when the neon burned brightest”.
