GTA 6 Release Date Confirmed: November 19, 2026

It's official: Grand Theft Auto 6 finally has a locked release date. After years of speculation and two delays, Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 will launch on November 19, 2026 — and the countdown to Vice City is now very real.

The Confirmed Release Date

GTA 6 arrives Thursday, November 19, 2026, a date Take-Two reaffirmed in its latest earnings update. The game slipped from its original 2025 window to spring 2026 and finally to this November date, so after a long wait the target is no longer a rumor — it's set in stone. Our on-site countdown is locked to the same day.

Platforms and Price

At launch, GTA 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, with a PC version widely expected to follow roughly a year later. On price, sources claim certain editions could carry a premium tag north of $100, though Rockstar has not officially confirmed final pricing. Pre-orders are reportedly set to open on June 25, 2026.

Return to Vice City

GTA 6 takes players back to Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida, a modern, sun-soaked reimagining of Florida. The story follows dual protagonists Jason and Lucia — the first female lead in the series' modern era — in a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style crime saga Rockstar has teased as its most ambitious world yet.

What This Means For Players

With the date now confirmed, you can plan around it: make sure you own a PS5 or Xbox Series console, watch for pre-orders opening June 25, and brace for a possible $100+ price tag. Expect Rockstar's marketing to ramp up through the summer, likely including a second trailer before launch.

The wait finally has an end date. When November 19, 2026 arrives, are you booking time off to play, or easing in after the launch rush?
