Rockstar Games confirmed the GTA 6 release date for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The studio issued the update through its Rockstar Games on November 6, 2025 after two prior schedule changes. Pre-orders for the standard and ultimate editions opened on June 25, 2026.
Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on PlayStation 5 including the Pro model and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games issued the confirmation through its Rockstar Games and official social channels on November 6, 2025. Both platform families receive the title on the identical day with no staggered window.
The shared launch date gives every console player equal access from day one. Pre-order timing aligned with the final date announcement which locked pricing for both editions.
Players reserve either edition on the two confirmed platforms only. Rockstar added no further platforms when the window opened. The listed prices apply across both console families from the first day.
Rockstar placed both console families on one launch date which removed any staggered release. The decision matched the pattern used for prior major titles from the studio. Players on either system gain access without waiting for a second wave.
Trailer 1 appeared in December 2023 and listed a Coming 2025 window without a month. Rockstar shifted the target to May 26, 2026 on May 2, 2025. A further shift on November 6, 2025 established the November 19, 2026 date.
The sequence of announcements shows how each trailer supported a new target date. Players received updated timelines alongside major content reveals which kept the schedule visible.
The May 2, 2025 Rockstar Games post included an apology for moving the target. The November 6, 2025 announcement carried a second apology for the further change. Both statements focused on the revised dates without additional development details.
Trailer 2 arrived four days after the first delay announcement which paired new footage with the revised date. The studio used the same approach for later updates. Each trailer expanded the Leonida setting shown in earlier material.
Each announcement came with a public apology from the studio. The pattern shows two shifts from the original 2025 label. Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025 revealed full protagonist names Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
Two delays moved the game from a 2025 window to its current date. The second trailer introduced the lead characters which gave context after the first shift.
Rockstar attached an apology to each delay notice which kept the focus on the new target date. The studio avoided extra development comments in both statements. The approach left the November 19, 2026 date as the sole confirmed target.
No PC version appears in any official listing or preorder options. Rockstar material names only the two console families across every release card and page. Past titles from the studio show console to PC gaps that range from seven months to fourteen years.
| Title | Console Launch | PC Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto IV | April 2008 | Seven months |
| Grand Theft Auto V | September 2013 | Eighteen months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | October 2018 | Fourteen months |
The table shows console to PC gaps that varied widely across earlier Rockstar releases. Players see no PC option listed for the current title which matches the initial console focus.
These gaps reflect different development choices for each game. The current title follows the same initial console-only pattern seen before. No PC SKU has been added at any point in the announced schedule.

Standard Edition costs $79.99 and Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Both editions launched for pre-order on June 25, 2026. The prices cover PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
Trailer 2 appeared on May 6, 2025. It followed the first delay announcement by four days. The trailer revealed full protagonist names and expanded the Leonida setting.
Ultimate Edition includes additional content beyond the Standard Edition. Both editions opened for pre-order on June 25, 2026 at the listed prices. Details appear on the official Rockstar site and store pages.
A Rockstar Games post or updated store listing would mark the first official sign. Past titles added PC support after console launch with separate announcements. No such update exists for the current schedule.
No last generation support is planned for the launch. Every official card and page names only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The title is confirmed as current-generation only from the first reveal.
