GTA 6 Release Date: Everything Confirmed So Far
Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially releasing on Thursday, November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. After more than a decade since GTA 5, Rockstar has confirmed this date multiple times throughout 2026 — most recently alongside the GTA 6: An Extended Look gameplay reveal on Netflix in August 2026. Here’s everything that’s actually confirmed, separated clearly from what’s still unknown.
When Does GTA 6 Release?
GTA 6 comes out on November 19, 2026. This date has been reaffirmed by both Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive on multiple occasions in 2026, including during Take-Two’s earnings calls and the August gameplay reveal. As of now, there’s no indication of a further delay.
GTA 6’s Delay History
GTA 6 has been delayed twice from its original release window:
- Initial window: Fall 2025 (announced in the first trailer, December 2023)
- First revised date: May 26, 2026
- Second and current date: November 19, 2026
Rockstar cited extra time for polish as the reason for both delays. Every date change so far has come directly from official Rockstar or Take-Two statements — not leaks — which is worth keeping in mind if you see unofficial “new delay” rumors circulating closer to launch.
What Platforms Is GTA 6 Coming To?
GTA 6 is launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
- No PS4 or Xbox One version
- No confirmed PC release date — Rockstar has not announced PC plans at this time
- No confirmed release window for a next-generation update to GTA Online
If a PC version is announced later, it will very likely follow the same pattern as GTA 5, which released on PC roughly 18 months after console.
GTA 6 Price
- Standard Edition: $79.99
- Ultimate Edition: $99.99
Pre-orders opened worldwide on June 25, 2026.
