GTA 6 FAQ: release date, price & PC

Grand Theft Auto VI releases on Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar locked the date on November 6, 2025, after two delays — the window slipped from Fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, and finally to November 19, 2026.

There's no sign of another delay. GTA 6 slipped twice — from Fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, then to November 19, 2026 — but throughout 2026 Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly said the date holds and that marketing begins in summer 2026, which would be unusual if another slip were coming. Nothing is guaranteed until launch, but every official signal currently points to November 19, 2026.

At launch, GTA 6 is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only — those are the only platforms Rockstar has named since the Trailer 1 announcement. No other version has been announced.

A PC version has not been announced. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has discussed PC only in general terms, and while Rockstar has historically shipped PC ports well after the console launch, nothing about GTA 6 on PC is official.

GTA 6 will not be on Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus at launch on November 19, 2026 — to play it on day one you will need to buy or pre-order it at full price. Take-Two has never put a major franchise title into a subscription service on launch day, and CEO Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly argued it makes no economic sense for a premium new release. The game could join a subscription library later, as often happens once the main sales period passes, but nothing like that is announced.

GTA 6 has two playable protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Lucia is the first non-optional female lead in a mainline GTA game. Both appear in the trailers and have official character pages on the Rockstar site.

The game is set in the state of Leonida, a fictional take on Florida, centered on modern-day Vice City. Official locations include the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park.

Officially, nobody knows — Rockstar has not released a map or any size figures. Community mapping projects that reconstruct the map from the two official trailers estimate it at least twice the size of GTA V's map, but until an official map is published those numbers remain educated guesswork.

GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate edition, confirmed by Rockstar when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. There are only two editions — the 'Deluxe' and $129.99 Collector's tiers rumored earlier do not exist. The Ultimate edition adds premium in-game vehicles, weapons and apparel; both editions include the Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order bonus. No PC price has been announced.

It is not confirmed. The rumor goes back to a 2021 claim by leaker Tom Henderson that the stock market would return alongside an in-game crypto broker — but in early 2026 Henderson himself said he believes the crypto plan was scrapped years ago. Rockstar has said nothing about GTA 6's economy systems.
