The GTA 6 release date is November 19, 2026, confirmed by Rockstar for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the game priced at $79.99 (Standard Edition) or $99.99 (Ultimate Edition). Rockstar has not confirmed a PC version or date — industry reports point to early 2027, but that is not official.
When Does GTA 6 Release?
Rockstar confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, following the game’s launch trailer on October 15, 2026. Digital pre-loading opens November 12, 2026, one week before launch, so the game is playable the moment it unlocks rather than requiring a day-one download. The boxed retail edition doesn’t include a disc: it’s a download code in a box, so physical buyers download the game too. It unlocks on November 19 either way.
Is There a GTA 6 PC Release Date?
Not officially. Rockstar has only confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the November 19 launch and has made no statement about a PC version. GamesBeat reported on October 13, 2026, citing four anonymous industry sources (as Forbes summarized), that Rockstar is targeting early 2027 for a PC release, but that is a rumor, not a Rockstar announcement.
Every mainline Grand Theft Auto game has released on PC well after consoles — GTA V launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013 and didn’t reach PC until April 2015, a 19-month gap. If that pattern holds, a 2027 PC release would actually be faster than usual.
GTA 6 Editions and Price
Grand Theft Auto VI has two editions, both confirmed by Rockstar’s own Newswire post when pre-orders opened June 25, 2026. There is no mid-tier or collector’s edition — just a $20 gap between Standard and Ultimate. For context on the stakes here, predecessor Grand Theft Auto V had sold roughly 230 million copies as of Take-Two’s Q4 FY2026 earnings call on May 21, 2026, making it the second best-selling video game ever made.
| Edition | Price | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $79.99 | The full Grand Theft Auto VI story, following Jason and Lucia across Leonida |
| Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | The base game plus bonus vehicles, personalized weapons, exclusive apparel and tattoos, and access to Ultimate-only in-game shops |
How to Pre-Order GTA 6
GTA 6 is available to pre-order now through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Games Store, and select retailers. Anyone who pre-orders or buys the game before November 20, 2026 — which covers every launch-day buyer — gets the Vintage Vice City Pack, a set of bonus in-game content shared by both editions. Digital pre-orders also come with one month of GTA+ included.
What Platforms Is GTA 6 On?
At launch, Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a Nintendo Switch 2 version, a PC version, or last-generation console support (PS4 or Xbox One). If you’re trying to decide where to play, those two platforms are the only ones with a confirmed release so far.
