Quick answer

When is GTA VI coming out?

The direct answer is simple: GTA VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, a date announced officially by Rockstar Games. It's no longer a generic "2026" window — it's an exact day to plan around.

With the date settled, the next question is usually where you'll play. At launch, GTA VI ships for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S; a PC version hasn't been officially confirmed yet. If you already know the date and your platform, it's worth heading straight to the dedicated pages for preload, system requirements, editions, or day-one prep.

Common questions about the launch

Is the date official?

Yes. November 19, 2026 was announced officially by Rockstar Games — it's not a rumor or a fan estimate. As with any big game, a delay is always possible, but for now this is the confirmed date.

At launch, GTA VI ships for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at $79.99 for the standard edition. There's no PS4 or Xbox One version: the game is exclusive to the current console generation.

What about the PC version?

For now, the confirmed launch is for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Rockstar hasn't officially announced a PC version of GTA VI yet.

Based on Rockstar's previous launches, it's common for a PC version to arrive some time after the consoles. As soon as there's an official announcement, it'll appear here and on the preload page.
