GTA 6 release date

After years of GTA 6 leaks, unofficial teasers and numerous Take-Two Interactive earnings calls, we finally have a confirmed GTA 6 release date. It’s a while away yet, and sadly comes after the announcement of a second delay, but knowing when the sixth installment in Rockstar’s iconic series will arrive on consoles has us pretty excited.

For Windows 10 and 11 gamers, a GTA 6 PC launch might be much, much further away than they’d like, as Rockstar has not made any official announcement on when the game will make it to Windows OS systems.

What is the release date?

The GTA 6 release date window is set for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on Thursday, November 19, 2026

Despite numerous Take-Two Interactive earnings calls stating that the game was on track for a Fall 2025 release window, Rockstar announced on May 2, 2025 a GTA 6 delay. The game was once again delayed in November 2025 with a new release date of November 19, 2026. Rockstar stated that additional time was required to polish the game to a standard that fans would accept.

This announcement completely debunked previous rumors such as the believed release on September 17, 2025 during which a retailer accidentally posted a release date for their GTA 6 pre orders, though they removed the date from their listing and issued an apology to fans in short order.

Sadly, the delay to November 2026 doesn’t bode well for a GTA 6 PC edition or Steam release, but at least a PC version is in the works. Fans hoping for a GTA 6 PS4 and Xbox One release have far bleaker prospects, as it seems very unlikely that the game will ever be ported to the previous generation consoles based on the GTA 6 system requirement estimates alone.

How expensive will GTA 6 be?

Given standard pricing for modern AAA games, even ones as large as Rockstar loves to create, we expect the GTA 6 price to be marked at around $69.99 (or £69.99 in the UK) for the standard edition when the release date rolls around. If there are special editions available on launch, they could be anything from $90-$200, depending on what’s included in the special edition offering.

When will GTA 6 release on PC?

Assuming that the game’s development goes according to plan and isn’t delayed a second time, we expect to see a GTA 6 PC release as soon as Q1 2027, a little over one year from the console’s anticipated release date. That said, the GTA 5 Enhanced edition bringing GTA+ membership to PC players and refining the online experience does hint that PC players are more integral to Take0-Two Interactive’s strategy moving forward.

A PC version certainly won’t be available at the game’s initial launch, but the wait time between consoles and PC could be the shortest we’ve seen yet for Rockstar ports. Should Rockstar Games provide a more accurate release schedule for both console and PC versions of GTA 6, you’ll be able to find all the latest release date updates here.

GTA release date list

Here is a full timeline of all GTA release dates, including the current GTA 6 launch date:

• GTA 6: November 19, 2026
• GTA 5: September 17, 2013
• GTA 4: April 29, 2008
• GTA San Andreas: October 26, 2004
• GTA Vice City: October 29, 2002
• GTA 3: October 23, 2001
• GTA 2: October 22, 1999
• GTA: November 28, 1997

As you can probably tell from the above schedule, GTA 6 and GTA 4 were quite unusual in terms of when they are/were due to be released. Considering the sheer scale of what we’re expecting to see when November 2026 rolls around, it isn’t too surprising that Rockstar’s latest game needed some extra time. Hopefully, there won’t be any further delays.
