GTA 6 Release Date: November 19, Price and PC Status
GTA 6 is set for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Here is the price, the pre-order bonus, the PC outlook and what Take-Two says about delays.
Grand Theft Auto VI is the biggest scheduled release of the year, and with roughly seven weeks to go the question is no longer what the date is but whether it will hold. As of 2 October 2026, Rockstar's date is November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nothing about that date has moved since the most recent postponement, and the publisher's own financial messaging is unusually firm.
The release date and the road to it
The game was first aimed at 2025, then pushed to May 26, 2026, and finally moved to November 19, 2026. Rockstar's explanation for the later delay was that the extra months would let the team finish the game with the level of polish players expect. Since then the tone from the parent company has shifted from apology to confidence.
On Take-Two's latest earnings call, chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick reiterated a fiscal 2027 net bookings target of 8 to 8.2 billion dollars and said the figure reflects a high degree of confidence in the November 19 release, according to GamesRadar's report of the call. Marketing has also started in earnest, with pre-orders open and a gameplay showcase streamed through Netflix on August 27 before reaching YouTube. Studios rarely spend that kind of money three months out if they expect to slip, which is why most observers now treat a further delay as unlikely rather than impossible.
Price, editions and pre-order bonus
PC Gamer's running guide lists the Standard Edition at 80 dollars and the Ultimate Edition at 100 dollars. Pre-ordering either version unlocks the Vintage Vice City Pack, a set of items inspired by the 1980s look of the series. The Ultimate Edition adds an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons and apparel, plus an exclusive tattoo and mod shop, tied to the story of its two leads.
- Standard Edition: 80 dollars
- Ultimate Edition: 100 dollars
- Pre-order bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack
- Platforms at launch: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
Story, setting and what Rockstar has shown
The game returns to modern-day Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida, the series' version of Florida. Rockstar has confirmed six regions so far: Vice City itself, Mount Kalaga, Grassrivers, Leonida Keys, Ambrosia and Port Gellhorn. The story follows a criminal couple, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval. Lucia is the first female lead in the main series, and Rockstar's own character notes describe a pair who have always known the odds are against them.
Rockstar has also introduced a supporting cast that includes Cal Hamptom, Boobie Ike and Raul Bautista. PC Gamer also notes that co-founder Dan Houser, the lead writer on every previous Grand Theft Auto since 1999, did not write this one, since he left Rockstar in 2020.
Will GTA 6 come to PC?
This is the question that drives a lot of search traffic, and the honest answer is that no PC version has been announced. Zelnick has described PC players as not the core audience, and both Rockstar's history and its decision to run its own PC launcher make a later PC release the widely expected outcome. For context, GTA V arrived on PC about a year and a half after consoles, and Red Dead Redemption 2 followed after almost a year. Any date for a PC version is a guess until Rockstar says otherwise.
Rumors and what to expect before launch
A rumored online mode is the most discussed unconfirmed topic. PC Gamer's guide notes that earlier rumors claimed Rockstar was testing 64-player servers with a target of 96 at release, but the studio has not confirmed any online mode details, and there is no official release window for one. The same caution applies to leaked footage and stories about Rockstar's security incidents. Take-Two has reportedly pursued the source of leaks with legal action, and Rockstar has said that is not how it wanted the game seen. None of it changes the confirmed facts above.
Any further delay would come from Rockstar and Take-Two directly, so treat their official channels as the only reliable source. For now the plan is simple and public: November 19, console only, 80 dollars for the standard version.
