Grand Theft Auto VI releases on Thursday 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Preload opens on 12 November for digital pre-orders. Rockstar has not announced the unlock time, and there is no PC version or PC date.
GTA 6 pre-orders opened on 25 June 2026 on the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Store and at retailers, at $79.99 (€79.99) for Standard and $99.99 (€99.99) for Ultimate. Pre-ordering gets you preload from 12 November and the Vintage Vice City Pack; the digital Ultimate adds one month of GTA+. There is no scarcity — the only real reason to pre-order is playing at unlock rather than downloading then.
GTA 6 costs $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate edition in the US, and €79.99 and €99.99 in Europe. Both contain the same game; the extra $20 buys bonus content. The Ultimate edition is digital only. A $399.99 collector's collection exists but contains no copy of the game.
GTA 6 is not coming to PC on 19 November 2026 — it launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and Rockstar has announced no PC version, no date and no system requirements. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 reached PC 19 and 13 months after their console launches, which points at late 2027 to 2028 as a reasonable expectation, not a promise.
Breakdowns, guides and announcements — everything worth knowing between now and launch day.

Local television in Miami warned about fake Grand Theft Auto VI early-access offers on 18 October. Rockstar has released no demo, no beta and no PC build, preload does not open until 12 November, and the file sold as a GTA 6 installer is 1.1 MB of password-stealing malware. What exists, what cannot, and what to do if you ran one.

Digital Foundry put the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer through a frame-by-frame analysis on 16 October. It found no resolution drop, no sign of the PlayStation 5's new QSSR upscaler, and a RAGE engine animation fault going back to GTA IV that now appears to be gone. Here is what a compressed 90-second video can establish, and what it cannot.

The USK classified Grand Theft Auto VI on 13 September and nobody noticed for a month. CERO's Z appeared on the Japanese store pages on 17 October, and Korea's new private board cleared it on the 16th. That completes the set — but "adults only everywhere" is not what has happened.
From the neon coast to the mountains — cypress swamp, island chain, company town and national park. All six confirmed by Rockstar.
Leonida's neon capital and the reason everyone is here. Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market and a working port, all under the same humid glow.
The southern islands, strung out into the water. Jason and Lucia start here, in an apartment far cheaper than their ambitions.
Cypress swamp across the southwest, too shallow for boats and too wet for roads. Airboats exist as a vehicle class because of this place.
A vacation town that the vacations left. Cheap motels, shuttered attractions and empty strip malls facing a beach nobody books anymore.
The Allied Crystal sugar refinery employs the town, and the Final Chapter biker gang supplies just about everything else.
Leonida's high country. Protected wilderness, forest roads and elevation — the furthest you can get from Vice City without leaving the state.
Two protagonists on a collision course, and the six lives tangled up in theirs. Everyone Rockstar has revealed so far.
