Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI releases on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The countdown above is live, ticking down to midnight UTC on release day, so you always know exactly how many days until GTA 6 arrives.
When does GTA 6 come out?
GTA 6 comes out on 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. There is no PC version announced, and Rockstar has not named a PC release date or storefront.
That date is the result of two delays. GTA 6 was originally announced for a broad 2025 window when the first trailer dropped in December 2023, then moved to 26 May 2026, and finally settled on 19 November 2026. Take-Two's leadership has publicly reaffirmed the November date, and pre-orders are open — both strong signals that this one is firm.
When will GTA 6 be on PC? The GTA 6 PC release date
Rockstar has not announced a GTA 6 PC release date. Based on GTA V's precedent — an 18-month gap between the console and PC versions — a GTA 6 PC port would realistically land somewhere in 2027 or 2028.
GTA V shipped on consoles in September 2013 and did not reach PC until April 2015, a gap of 18 months and 28 days. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed a similar pattern. Rockstar's stated reasoning is that shipping on fixed console hardware first lets the engineering team optimise against a known target before tackling the enormous variety of PC configurations. When it does arrive, Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Rockstar launcher are the likely storefronts.
How many times has GTA 6 been delayed?
Did GTA 6 get delayed? Yes — twice. It moved from an initial 2025 window to 26 May 2026, and then from May 2026 to 19 November 2026. There has been no third delay.
Rockstar's public explanation both times was the same: extra polish. For a game in development for more than a decade with a reported budget approaching $2 billion, a six-month slip is a rounding error — and Rockstar has a long history of shipping late rather than shipping rough.
Which consoles will GTA 6 launch on?
GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. It is not coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch — those consoles fall well below the hardware baseline the game is built against. The PS5 Pro and Series X should target the highest fidelity, while the Series S will run at a reduced internal resolution.
Can I pre order GTA 6, and how much will it cost?
Yes, you can pre order GTA 6 now. Pre-orders are open through the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store and participating retailers. Rockstar has not announced official pricing; analyst expectations centre on standard AAA pricing around $70–$80, and the viral "$100 GTA 6" and "$200 GTA 6" figures are speculation, not announcements. Analysts expect GTA 6 to sell around 45 million copies before launch, which would make it the fastest entertainment product ever to reach $1 billion in sales.
