2024-03-26 14:57:54 | Written by Alfred

The wait finally has an end date. After years of leaks, teasers and two public delays, Rockstar Games has locked in when its record-breaking sequel arrives. If you're planning to buy GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) on PS5 — or on Xbox Series X|S — here's every confirmed detail about the GTA 6 release date, platforms and pre-order status, updated for June 2026.


When is GTA 6 coming out?

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is the final, official date after the game slipped from its original "fall 2025" window and a brief May 26, 2026 target.
TL;DR: GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been confirmed yet. Pre-orders open on June 25, 2026 — you can get ready now and lock in the best key price for launch day.


The road to release: every GTA 6 delay explained

GTA 6 was first teased for a 2025 launch when Rockstar released its debut trailer. As development progressed, the window moved to early 2026, then to a confirmed May 26, 2026 date, before finally settling on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has repeatedly said it would rather ship a polished game than rush one — and given GTA V sold copies worth over $800 million and this sequel is projected to break every sales record in the industry, the studio is taking no chances.


What platforms is GTA 6 launching on?

At launch, GTA 6 is a console exclusive for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a PC version, a PC release window, or any PC-specific details — which mirrors how GTA V launched on consoles roughly 19 months before its PC port. You can still register interest in the PC edition so you're first in line when (or if) it's confirmed.


Can you pre-order GTA 6 yet?

Rockstar has confirmed that pre-orders open on June 25, 2026, with official pricing revealed the same day. Industry estimates point to a standard edition around $69.99–$79.99, with Deluxe and Collector's tiers expected above that. The moment keys go live, the cheapest verified offers will appear on our product pages — so you pay launch-day price without the wait.


What we know about GTA 6 so far

GTA 6 is set in Leonida, Rockstar's fictional remix of modern-day Florida, with a reimagined Vice City as its centrepiece. For the first time, the game features a dual protagonist setup: Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style pair pulled deep into a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state. Two official trailers are out, each dissected frame by frame by the community.
