GTA 6 Release Date Locked for November 19, 2026
Last updated
Quick answer
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been dated, and preorders are handled through the console storefronts and major retailers.
Rockstar Games confirmed November 19, 2026 as the launch date after two schedule moves: the game was first announced for Fall 2025, then pushed to May 26, 2026, and finally settled on November 19, 2026. The date sits inside the holiday retail window, which is why consoles, controllers and accessory bundles tend to run short of stock in the weeks before launch.
For players, the practical takeaway is simple: the game ships on current-generation consoles only. If you are still on a PS4 or Xbox One, a hardware upgrade is part of the cost of playing at launch.
We are tracking every official statement and will update this post whenever Rockstar changes or reconfirms the date.
