On December 2, 2025, Rockstar ended six months of speculation in under three minutes. Trailer 2 dropped without warning. Leonida at golden hour. Vice City lit up. And then: November 19, 2026. No countdown teaser, no multi-wave rollout. One trailer, one date, then silence for weeks. That is how Rockstar operates.
Below is the complete guide to the GTA 6 release date, expected price, confirmed platforms, and anticipated editions for Grand Theft Auto VI. Every claim is sourced from Rockstar Newswire or clearly labeled as an estimate. Everything else is noise.
GTA 6 Release Date: November 19, 2026
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for , confirmed by Rockstar Games Newswire and the official @RockstarGames account. The launch is worldwide and simultaneous on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
This date lands thirteen years after GTA V (September 2013) and eight years after Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 2018). No major studio has held a single franchise in development this long without a sequel. That is also the source of the delay: Rockstar explicitly referenced "final polishing" in its official May 2026 communication.
Pre-orders on Amazon.fr are expected to open soon, based on retailer scheduling patterns. Locking in a pre-order at opening means day-one delivery, guaranteed by Amazon, subject to Amazon.fr terms in effect, with no charge until the order ships. For console-specific pre-order guides, see: pre-order GTA 6 on PS5 or pre-order GTA 6 on Xbox Series X.
Release Date History: Why GTA 6 Was Delayed
Three milestones track the road to November 19, 2026.
- : Rockstar releases Trailer 2 and signals a "Fall 2025" launch window. First publicly stated timeframe.
- : Take-Two Interactive announces, in its quarterly earnings communication, a delay to November 2026. Official reason: finalization and quality testing.
- : Release date confirmed definitively by Rockstar Newswire. Worldwide launch, simultaneous on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
A Rockstar delay is not a warning sign. RDR2 was pushed twice for the same reason: the studio refuses to ship an unfinished game. Read the chronology in reverse: Rockstar chose a quiet November window, past the October AAA cluster and before the December shopping spike, to own the last quarter of 2026 without competing for shelf space. For context on the Best Buy pre-order leak and what it revealed about the retailer schedule, see our GTA 6 pre-order leak timeline article.
GTA 6 Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X and PC
GTA 6 launches next-gen only. No PS4, no Xbox One. Rockstar confirmed this in its official Newswire: it is the first time since GTA IV (2008) that the studio cuts the previous generation entirely at launch. Three platforms are confirmed, in this order: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S at launch, and PC at a later date. See per-platform details below. For a head-to-head console comparison, see our PS5 vs Xbox comparison for GTA 6.
GTA 6 on PS5: What the DualSense Brings
On PS5, GTA 6 is expected to make full use of the DualSense: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and Tempest 3D Audio through compatible headsets. Rockstar has not published a detailed per-platform technical spec sheet at this time, but based on current PS5 standards and what the community anticipates for a Rockstar title at this scale: surface-level haptics across road types, variable trigger resistance on weapons and vehicles, and spatial audio that places the city around you. The PS5 SSD slashes load times between Vice City and the surrounding state. These features remain to be confirmed officially by Rockstar before launch. To lock in your copy, see our guide on pre-ordering GTA 6 on PS5.
GTA 6 on Xbox Series X: 4K 60fps and Series S Compatibility
On Xbox Series X, GTA 6 targets native 4K at a minimum of 60fps, with planned backward-compatible performance on Series S at an intermediate resolution. Quick Resume is a native Xbox advantage: pick up a session mid-heist without reloading the engine state. As with PS5, Rockstar has not published an exhaustive per-platform spec sheet: these are anticipated capabilities, not confirmed ones. Series S compatibility is expected but should be verified at launch. To pre-order directly, see our guide on pre-ordering GTA 6 on Xbox Series X.
GTA 6 on PC: A Later Release
Rockstar has not confirmed a PC release date for GTA 6. The franchise's release history is consistent: PC ports arrive 12 to 18 months after the console launch. GTA V came out on PS3/Xbox 360 in September 2013, then on PC in April 2015. RDR2 followed a comparable schedule. The reasonable window for GTA 6 on PC is late 2027 to early 2028, with no official confirmation at this date. For PC players who want to start preparing their setup now, see our best gaming setup guide for GTA 6.
GTA 6 Price: How Much Will the Game Cost in 2026?
Rockstar Games has not announced an official price for GTA 6 as of this update. Three sources inform the estimate: comparable AAA next-gen pricing (Spider-Man 2, Call of Duty MWIII, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom), early retailer price listings in both European and North American markets, and Take-Two Interactive's historical pricing structure across the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick referenced the current premium game pricing environment in public comments in early 2026, without specifying GTA 6 directly.
Based on these sources, the estimated price for the Standard edition is in the range of $79.99 to $89.99 in the US market (approximately €79.99 to €89.99 in Europe). Deluxe and Collector's editions are anticipated in the $99.99 to $109.99 and $149.99 to $229.99 ranges respectively. None of these figures are confirmed by Rockstar. They are estimates, subject to revision when official pre-orders open.
Amazon.fr applies its standard pre-order price protection policy: per Amazon.fr terms in effect at the time of the order, if the price drops between pre-order and delivery, the difference is refunded automatically. That is Amazon's contractual guarantee, not a guarantee made by achetergta6.fr.

GTA 6 Editions: Standard, Deluxe and Collector's
Rockstar has not published the official edition lineup for GTA 6 as of this update. Based on the GTA V edition structure (Standard, Special, Collector's) and RDR2 (Standard, Special, Ultimate, Collector's), three tiers are anticipated. The exact content will be confirmed by Rockstar Newswire when pre-orders officially open. Everything below is an anticipation, not an official announcement.
Standard Edition: The Base Game
The most accessible entry point. Contains GTA 6 on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, with no bonus content. Available in physical format (Blu-ray disc) or digital (direct download via PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store). Estimated price range: $79.99 to $89.99.
Deluxe Edition: Bonus Content and Estimated Price
Anticipated in the $99.99 to $109.99 range. Based on Rockstar's historical Deluxe/Special tier structure, this edition will likely include: GTA Online starting cash, exclusive vehicles, character outfits, and possible bonus missions or story content. Exact details remain to be confirmed by Rockstar.
Collector's Edition: What to Expect
The highest-priced and most limited tier. Anticipated between $149.99 and $229.99. Likely to include: steelbook case, physical artbook, physical collectibles (metal key, plaque, possible statue), plus all digital Deluxe content. Rockstar Collector's Editions historically sell out within hours of pre-order opening.
| Edition | Estimated Price | Anticipated Content |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 to $89.99 | Base game, physical or digital |
| Deluxe | $99.99 to $109.99 | Game + in-game bonuses (GTA Online cash, vehicles, outfits) |
| Collector's | $149.99 to $229.99 | Deluxe + physical collectibles (steelbook, artbook, plaque) |
All prices and content listed above are estimates based on previous Rockstar editions (GTA V, RDR2), subject to Rockstar Games official confirmation. The definitive edition lineup will be published when pre-orders officially open.
Vice City and the State of Leonida: The GTA 6 Setting
Based on the first official trailer released by Rockstar Games in December 2023, GTA 6 takes place in Vice City and the State of Leonida, a fictional state clearly modeled on Florida. It is the return to Vice City twenty years after the 2002 episode: palm trees, wet neon, pastel art deco motels at 2 a.m., intercoastal waterways. Not a remaster of the original: a modern reinterpretation, with an open map extending toward swamps, the Keys, and the rural north of the state.

On characters: Rockstar's official communication features a female protagonist named Lucia, as evoked in Rockstar communications. Plot specifics, including character relationships and storyline details, have not been officially confirmed at this time. Any story element not detailed on the official Rockstar Newswire remains unconfirmed. GTA Online is expected to be included following Rockstar's established model, with exact multiplayer details to be confirmed closer to launch.
