The single most-searched question about the game has one clean answer. Confirmed GTA 6 releases on 19 November 2026, the date officially announced by Rockstar Games, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The confirmed GTA 6 release date
Rockstar Games has officially confirmed:
- Release date: 19 November 2026.
- Platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Setting: the state of Leonida and its main city Vice City.
- Protagonists: Lucia and Jason.
This is the only launch date that is official. The countdown on our homepage ticks down to exactly this date.
What is still rumour, not fact
Plenty of GTA 6 "news" floating around is not confirmed. To keep things honest:
Anything beyond Rockstar's official reveals is a leak or rumour. That includes any PC release timing, a price, pre-order specifics and dates, exact unlock times, technical specs, and any platform partnership or Drops plan for GTA 6. We never present these as confirmed, and we never attribute an unconfirmed claim to Rockstar Games.
A particularly common one to watch for: claims of a "confirmed" GTA 6 pre-order date attributed to Rockstar. Unless Rockstar states it officially, treat it as unverified.
