Release date and time
- Date: Thursday, 19 November 2026.
- Time: midnight local time, in all regions, on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Rockstar confirms the timing on its support site. Because it is midnight local time, players in earlier time zones get in first.
Platforms
GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Those are the only two platforms on Rockstar's official site, and Take-Two's earnings release of 9 November 2026 lists the same two.
There is no PC version announced, and no PC release date.
Was it delayed?
Yes. On 6 November 2025 Rockstar moved the launch to 19 November 2026. It said the extra months would let it finish the game with the level of polish players expect, and apologised for the longer wait.
Take-Two's 9 November 2026 earnings release still lists 19 November 2026, and no further delay has been announced.
Can you download it early?
Yes. Pre-loading opened on 10 November 2026 and the download is up to 212 GB. See how big the GTA 6 pre-load is, and when it starts.
