On May 2, 2025, Rockstar pushed GTA 6 to May 26, 2026, and Trailer 2 dropped four days later. A second delay came on November 6, 2025, to November 19, 2026, and that date has not moved since. Take-Two reaffirmed it on May 21, 2026, and Rockstar confirmed it when it announced pre-orders on June 24.
Below is the complete guide to the GTA 6 release date, prices, platforms and editions for Grand Theft Auto VI. Every fact traces back to Rockstar's Newswire, Take-Two or the store listings, and anything from elsewhere is attributed to its source. If it has no source, it is not on this page.
Two questions come up once the date is settled: whether cheat codes exist yet, and what the ESRB M rating actually covers if you are buying this for a teenager.
GTA 6 Release Date: November 19, 2026
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, a date Rockstar confirmed on June 24, 2026 in its Newswire. The game unlocks at midnight local time, according to PlayStation Store listings: the day is the same everywhere, but the actual time varies by country.
This date lands thirteen years after GTA V (September 17, 2013) and eight years after Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 26, 2018). When it announced the second delay on November 6, 2025, Rockstar put the extra months down to polish: "these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve" (statement as reported by the press).
Digital pre-orders have been open since June 25, 2026, with preloading from November 12. As of October 3, 2026, the three boxed listings on Amazon.fr (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and a PS5 pack with 20 EUR of PlayStation Store credit) are unavailable. Amazon states it does not know when or whether they will be restocked. For console-specific pre-order guides, see: pre-order GTA 6 on PS5 or pre-order GTA 6 on Xbox Series X.

GTA 6 Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, No PC Announced
Rockstar has announced GTA 6 only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S; no PS4, Xbox One or PC version has been announced to 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: the DualSense and the PS5 Pro label
The French PlayStation Store listing, read on October 3, 2026, states that the vibration function and trigger effect are supported. Nothing else about the DualSense is documented. The same listing carries the PS5 Pro optimization label, without specifying resolution, frame rate or mode.
Rockstar has published no technical spec sheet. In an independent analysis published on August 28, 2026, Digital Foundry looked at the Extended Look, captured on a base PS5, and measured an internal 1440p image upscaled to 4K, at 30 frames per second. To lock in your copy, see our guide on pre-ordering GTA 6 on PS5.
GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S: two native targets, no figures
Xbox Series X and Series S are the game's two native targets: the Xbox Store listing marks it as optimized for Xbox Series X|S, and the Amazon.fr listing for the box is labelled "Series X/S". No resolution or frame rate figure has been published for Xbox. To pre-order directly, see our guide on pre-ordering GTA 6 on Xbox Series X.
GTA 6 on PC: no version announced
Rockstar has announced no version of GTA 6 on PC to date. For context, GTA V reached PC about 19 months after its PS3 and Xbox 360 release (September 17, 2013, then April 14, 2015), and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 12 months after its PS4 and Xbox One release (October 26, 2018, then November 5, 2019); those precedents say nothing about GTA 6's schedule. To prepare for launch on console, see our best gaming setup guide for GTA 6.

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 more than 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. For a visual sense of the world Rockstar has built, browse our official GTA 6 screenshots gallery.
On characters, Jason and Lucia are named in the official synopsis of June 24, 2026: "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them." The official texts cited here go no further into the plot. Rockstar's Newswire describes GTA 6 as "a single player experience", and no online mode has been announced to date.
