GTA 6: Everything Confirmed So Far (Release Date, Platforms & More)
GTA 6: Everything Confirmed So Far
After two delays, Rockstar's most anticipated game finally has a release date that's holding — here's exactly where things stand right now.
Confirmed release date: November 19, 2026 — for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC release date yet.
A Long Road to This Date
GTA 6 was first announced back in December 2023 with a trailer that broke the internet, originally targeting a 2025 launch. Since then, it's been delayed twice: first pushed to May 26, 2026, and then delayed again to its current date of November 19, 2026. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has since reiterated this November date across multiple earnings calls and corporate statements, signaling that a third delay is unlikely at this point.
Rockstar has said the extra development time is about delivering the polish and quality players expect from the series — a similar story to Red Dead Redemption 2, which also slipped past its original release window before landing as one of the most acclaimed games of its generation.
Platforms and Release Details
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
A PC version has not been officially announced yet — based on Rockstar's pattern with GTA 5, a PC release typically follows a year or more after console launch.
According to the official PlayStation Store listing, GTA 6 will launch at midnight local time across every time zone — meaning regions like New Zealand get access first, with the rest of the world following as midnight hits their zone.
What We Know About the Game
GTA 6 returns to a fictionalized version of Miami, this time called Vice City, and introduces dual protagonists — Jason and Lucia — a first for the mainline series. Rockstar has released two trailers so far, along with location and character reveals, though full gameplay details remain closely guarded.
Take-Two has called it one of the largest game launches in history, and industry watchers expect other major studios to deliberately avoid releasing competing AAA titles anywhere near GTA 6's launch window.
Should You Trust This Date?
| Date | Status |
|---|---|
| Fall 2025 (original) | Delayed |
| May 26, 2026 | Delayed again |
| November 19, 2026 | Current, reconfirmed multiple times |
Given two prior delays, some caution is fair — but this date has now been repeated across several official earnings calls and corporate governance statements, which carries more weight than a social media announcement alone. Take-Two treats earnings disclosures as binding statements to investors, making another delay less likely without serious cause.
Bottom line: Mark November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox. If you're PC-only, you'll likely be waiting well into 2027 — Rockstar hasn't given any indication otherwise yet.
