Release date and platforms

Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out on Nov 19, 2026. Rockstar set that date on Nov 6, 2025, after moving the game from 2025 to May 26, 2026 and then once more "to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve", and it has kept it since; how it got there is on Release Date and Delays. Rockstar's pre-order announcement of Jun 24, 2026 names PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the PlayStation Store adds that it "will only be playable on PlayStation 5 consoles", so there is no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version. The store listings unlock it at midnight local time in each store region, which Rockstar has not stated itself; see Release Time. Sony's listing marks it "PS5 Pro Enhanced" and Microsoft's "Optimized for Xbox Series X|S"; see Platforms and Performance.

Price, editions and pre-orders

Pre-orders opened on Jun 25, 2026 at midnight local time. The Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition $99.99, every copy bought before Nov 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack, and digital pre-orders get a month of GTA+. In Rockstar's words, "Players who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto VI will be able to begin pre-loading on November 12, 2026," and "the physical version ... containing a download code inside the box, will be available starting November 12, 2026 to support pre-loading". The collector's box, The Goodtime State - Vice City Collection, is $400 and holds no game. Everything in each edition is on Editions and Pre-orders, and how to back out of an order is on Cancel a Pre-order.

Story and characters

Rockstar's own summary: Jason and Lucia "have always known the deck is stacked against them", and when "an easy score goes wrong" they find themselves "on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida". The two are playable and switchable; Rockstar's site introduces the supporting cast, among them Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder. See Characters, Jason Duval, Lucia Caminos and Story and Missions.

Map and world

Rockstar's site names Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Rockstar North's Rob Nelson told TGG in August 2026 that the map is twice the size of Grand Theft Auto V's and three times Red Dead Redemption 2's, and Rockstar told Edge on Oct 29, 2026 that the whole landmass is nearly as large as the maps of GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined. Those are interview statements, not published figures; Rockstar has given no area in square miles or kilometers. See Map and Leonida.

Gameplay

What Rockstar showed in An Extended Look on Aug 27, 2026, and what Nelson explained to the press that week, is the official account of how the game plays: a six-star wanted level with a new heat system under it (Wanted System), a Criminal Profile that changes with how each character behaves (Criminal Profile), a relationship between Jason and Lucia that grows with time together (Jason and Lucia's Relationship), stats built with food and workouts (Activities and Stats), store robberies and heists (Heists and Robberies), cars that are stolen and sold to a fence (Cars and Driving), slow-motion Focus in fights (Combat and Focus) and a phone with a social media feed (Phone and Social Media). Nelson also said that "the consoles are running the game at 30 frames per second", with a 60 frames per second option still a question for the technical team.

Music and radio

On Oct 8, 2026 Rockstar previewed six of the radio stations and confirmed that the radio and new on-demand podcasts play on foot through headphones; on Sep 17, 2026 it announced "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album", 34 original songs made with Atlantic Records, out with the game on Nov 19. On Oct 29, 2026 it announced "Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score" by Justice, an album of the game's score, out Dec 11, 2026. See Music and Radio and Soundtrack.

Spending and online

The game launches as a single player game. Take-Two's chief executive, Strauss Zelnick, told shareholders on Sep 17, 2026 that there is "no recurrent consumer spending anticipated with regard to this launch", and that GTA Online on Grand Theft Auto V carries on as "a robust business". Rockstar has announced no online mode for Grand Theft Auto 6; see GTA Online.

What Rockstar has not confirmed

As of Nov 1, 2026, Rockstar has not announced:

A PC version, or any date for one; Xbox said on Oct 7, 2026 the game "will not be streaming exclusively or to PC". See PC Version.
An online mode for Grand Theft Auto 6, or a date for one. See GTA Online.
The download size. About 210 GB was reported on Oct 27, 2026 from PlayStation Network data; no store lists it. See Release Time.
What "PS5 Pro Enhanced" means: no frame rate, resolution or modes for the Pro.
A review date. Nov 18, 2026 is reported, not announced; see Review Embargo.
How long the story is, the number of missions or any ending.
Game Pass or PlayStation Plus: the game is sold, not in a subscription; see Game Pass and PS Plus.
Its languages in a list of its own; the Microsoft Store lists 13 for menus and subtitles and English voices; see Languages.

What is only reported

A few things circulate widely without Rockstar's word. The Nov 18 review embargo comes from the insider NateTheHate and Insider Gaming. The 210 GB size comes from PlayStation Network data. Sensor Tower's 6.45 million pre-orders is an analyst's estimate. Stephen Root as Brian Heder is the actor's own statement, not Rockstar's. Footage and claims from the 2022 hack and the 2026 CyberLeek posts are leaks, kept on Leaks, and this viki does not state them as facts.
