The confirmed GTA 6 release date, supported consoles, preload date, and the PC status — with every claim linked to Rockstar.
The confirmed release date
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026. Rockstar lists that date on the official game page and in its June 2026 pre-order announcement.
This page deliberately separates official information from estimates. If Rockstar changes the date, the update history here will show what changed and when.
Which platforms are confirmed?
Rockstar currently names PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It has not announced PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, or PC editions.
A PC version may be a popular expectation based on older Rockstar releases, but past release patterns are not confirmation. Treat any PC date circulating online as speculation until Rockstar publishes it.
- PlayStation 5 — confirmed
- Xbox Series X|S — confirmed
- PC — not announced
- PS4, Xbox One, and Switch 2 — not announced

What players should do now
Wishlist or pre-order only through Rockstar, PlayStation, Xbox, or a retailer you already trust. Avoid download links, beta invitations, key generators, and unofficial PC installers; no public PC build has been announced.
Before November, make sure your console account, payment region, parental controls, and storage are ready. Rockstar has announced the preload date but has not published a final download-size figure.
