When does GTA 6 come out?

Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is 83 days from today.

Officially confirmed Confirmed by Rockstar Games on November 6, 2025. A PC release has not been announced — see GTA 6 on PC.

How the date got here

The current date is the product of two delays, each announced directly by Rockstar rather than leaking out — which matters, because it means the November 19 date is the first one Rockstar committed to as a specific day rather than a window and then re-confirmed through its marketing beats. The full history:

  4. Second delay: release moved to November 19, 2026 to finish the game 'with the level of polish it deserves'.

  5. Pre-orders open worldwide at midnight local time on June 25, alongside the Ultimate Edition announcement. Date reaffirmed as November 19.

  6. 'An Extended Look' — in-game footage captured on PS5 — premieres on Netflix, then Rockstar's YouTube channel and the GTA VI site the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Is GTA 6 out yet?
No. GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Anything claiming to be a playable GTA 6 today is fake.
What time will GTA 6 unlock?
Rockstar has not announced unlock times. Recent Rockstar launches (GTA V's next-gen release, Red Dead Redemption 2) used midnight local or simultaneous global unlocks; we'll record the official times here once published.
Will GTA 6 be delayed again?
Nothing Rockstar or Take-Two has published indicates a third delay. Take-Two has repeatedly reaffirmed the November 19, 2026 date in its investor communications. We track every official statement on the delay tracker page and update within hours of any change.
When does GTA 6 come out on PC?
There is no announced PC version or PC date. Rockstar's pattern (GTA V: 18 months; RDR2: 13 months) suggests a later PC port is likely but unconfirmed — see our GTA 6 PC page for the evidence.
