Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on November 19, 2026. That date has held since Rockstar confirmed it in November 2025, after the game slipped from a 2025 window and then from a May 2026 date. Take-Two has repeated it at every opportunity since.
Confirmed
- Date: November 19, 2026.
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Series S.
- Price: Standard Edition $79.99, Ultimate Edition $99.99.
- Pre-load: begins November 12.
- Setting: the state of Leonida, with Vice City at its centre.
- Protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, playable as a pair.
Not confirmed
There is no PC release date, no named PC storefront, and no published system requirements. There is no Nintendo platform. There is no announced plan for online multiplayer at launch, and the game is currently described as single-player.
Anyone quoting you a PC date is guessing. The only useful reference point is GTA V, which took eighteen months to reach PC after its console debut.
On the price
Eighty dollars for the standard edition is above the sixty-dollar norm that held for a console generation, and it is the number most likely to shape how the industry prices its next tier of releases. Publishers have been testing seventy for two years. Rockstar going to eighty with the biggest launch of the decade gives everyone else cover.
The Ultimate Edition adds twenty dollars, and you can upgrade from Standard at any point, including after launch. Pre-ordering either version includes the Vintage Vice City pack.
The schedule around it
The autumn release calendar has visibly bent around this date. Publishers have moved titles into August through October rather than compete in November, which makes the run-up unusually crowded and the weeks after launch unusually empty.
What to actually do
If you are buying, Standard is the sensible pick, because the upgrade path stays open. If you are on PC, there is nothing to plan for yet. And if you are reading a dated leak, check whether the source is Rockstar. It almost never is.
