GTA 6 Release Date: When Is GTA 6 Coming Out on Console and PC?

Confirmed: Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at release. Rockstar Games announced the date directly, so this is official — not a rumor or a placeholder.

If you're on one of those two consoles, mark the calendar: November 19, 2026 is the day you'll be able to play. If you're a PC player, the picture is different — more on that below.

Confirmed: GTA 6 is a current-generation console title. The two confirmed launch platforms are:

• PlayStation 5 (and PS5 Pro)
• Xbox Series X and Series S

Both versions release on the same day, November 19, 2026. There is no separate, later console date — PlayStation and Xbox players launch together.

Confirmed: GTA 6 is not launching on PC on November 19, 2026, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version at all. The console release comes first.

Analysis (not official): Rockstar has a long, consistent history of bringing its biggest games to PC after consoles. The gap on its last few major releases ranged from roughly 7 months (GTA IV) to about 19 months (GTA V). Applying that pattern, most analysts expect a GTA 6 PC version in 2027–2028, with late 2027 (around Q4) the single most commonly cited window. One unverified report has floated February 2027, but treat that as a rumor until Rockstar says otherwise.

Bottom line: a PC version is widely considered inevitable, but there is no confirmed PC release date yet. We'll update this page the moment Rockstar announces one.

Confirmed: No. GTA 6 is built for current-generation hardware only. There is no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version. To play at launch you'll need a PS5 or an Xbox Series X|S.

GTA 6's date has moved more than once. Here's the timeline of what Rockstar has officially said:

Delays are normal for a project this size, and the current November 19, 2026 date is the one Rockstar is actively promoting with pre-orders — the strongest signal yet that it's firm.

Confirmed: Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. There are two editions:

• Standard Edition — $79.99
• Ultimate Edition — $99.99

Pre-ordering before November 20, 2026 includes the Vintage Vice City Pack, a set of in-game bonus items. Prices are in USD for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.

Confirmed: GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional, Florida-inspired state built around a modern Vice City. It stars two protagonists, Jason and Lucia — the first time a mainline GTA has launched with a playable duo at its core.
