After more than a decade of anticipation, Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that it will release on November 19, 2026.
Here’s everything we know so far about the GTA 6 release timeline for each platform.
Official Statement from Rockstar
In December 2023, Rockstar released the first GTA 6 trailer with a clear note:
“Coming 2026” – for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
As of mid-2025, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed the exact release day, but the game is fully in promotional mode, meaning a date reveal is expected soon.
Expected GTA 6 Release Schedule by Platform
| Platform | Expected Release |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | November 9, 2026 |
| Xbox Series X/S | November-December 2026 |
| PC | Mid-2027 (Estimated: May–July) |
Just like GTA V, Rockstar may choose to release GTA 6 on consoles first, then launch the PC version several months later to maximize sales and polish.
What Do the Leaks Say?
Industry insiders and former Rockstar developers have hinted that:
- The game is in final polish mode
- March or April 2025 is the internal target
- The PC version will be optimized after console feedback
Take-Two (Rockstar’s parent company) also projected “record-breaking revenue” in Q1 2026, which strongly hints at a major release — almost certainly GTA 6.
Why the Delay?
Here are the key reasons why GTA 6 has taken longer than expected:
- Expanded open world and next-gen visuals
- COVID-19 development delays
- Rockstar’s internal shift to a healthier work culture
- New dual-protagonist system (Lucia & Jason)
- Major upgrades to Rockstar’s RAGE engine
When Will the Exact Release Date Be Announced?
Rockstar typically announces release dates about 3–6 months before launch. We expect an official GTA 6 release on November 19, 2026, with marketing campaigns and pre-orders launching immediately after.
