GTA VI release date: still November 19, 2026

Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Here's the delay history and what we're watching in launch week.

ConfirmedStated by Rockstar Games or Take-Two.Published

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. As of November 14, neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive has announced another delay.

How we got here

The date has moved twice:

  • Original window: 2025. Announced with the first trailer in December 2023.
  • First delay: May 26, 2026. Rockstar moved the game out of 2025.
  • Second delay: November 19, 2026. Rockstar said the extra months were for polish.

About the “2027” rumours

Claims that the game has slipped to 2027 keep circulating. None of them come from Rockstar or Take-Two, and outlets that checked them found nothing official behind them. Until Rockstar says otherwise, November 19 stands.

What about PC?

Rockstar has only announced PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced, so treat any PC date you see as speculation.
