RELEASE DATE FAQ
GTA 6 officially releases on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games confirmed this date, and Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed it in their February 2026 earnings call.
No PC release date has been confirmed. Based on Rockstar's history with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, a PC version is expected 6-12 months after the console launch, likely sometime in 2027.
No. GTA 6 is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game's advanced graphics and open-world systems require next-generation hardware.
Take-Two confirmed the November 19, 2026 date in their February 2026 earnings call. However, journalist Jason Schreier reported the game was not yet content-complete in early 2026, which has kept some speculation alive.
Rockstar cited the need for additional polish. The delay from 2025 to May 2026, and then to November 2026, reportedly cost Take-Two up to $500 million including lost revenue and extra development costs.
