Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is the date displayed on Rockstar Games’ official GTA VI page, checked on 25 October 2026. The game is still forthcoming at the time of this update.
Editorial update: This replaces our older pre-trailer article, which treated the date, characters and setting as unknown. This is a guide to confirmed information, rather than a hands-on review.
What is confirmed?
| Question | Official information checked |
|---|---|
| Release date | 19 November 2026, subject to any subsequent announcement. |
| Platforms | PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The official page does not list a PC launch date. |
| Setting | Vice City and the surrounding fictional state of Leonida. |
| Main characters | Jason and Lucia. |
Setting and story
Rockstar’s published synopsis follows Jason and Lucia after a job goes wrong, drawing them into a conspiracy across Leonida. Our previous speculation about Liberty City and a story spanning multiple decades was not confirmed information and has been removed.
Where to watch gameplay and trailers
The official game page links its launch trailer, extended look and earlier trailers. Use those releases to distinguish published footage from fan edits, leaked material and speculative feature lists. A trailer can show a feature without establishing how every mission or mode will work.
When reading a gameplay claim, look for the particular official video or announcement behind it. A prediction repeated on several sites is still a prediction. We have removed the earlier empty feature and multiplayer sections because they promised details without supplying evidence.
Checks before choosing an edition
- Match the platform on the product listing to the console you own. A console listing is not confirmation of a PC release.
- Read the edition’s included items and the retailer’s cancellation or refund terms before ordering.
- Compare the final checkout total in your own region. Currency, edition and retailer can change the price.
- Check Rockstar again if you are making plans around launch day; the date above records the announcement checked on our review date.
Is a PC version dated?
No PC release date is listed on the official page checked for this update. Avoid treating an estimated date, a download offer or a retailer placeholder as a confirmed release.
