Rockstar Games confirmed the GTA 6 release date as November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The schedule came after two delays from the original 2025 window. Pre orders opened June 25, 2026 with standard and ultimate editions at set prices.
Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launch the game together without any timed gap which places all current generation owners on equal footing. PlayStation 5 Pro receives full feature support right away after the initial console release. Last generation systems such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One stay unsupported while the studio focuses resources on newer hardware.
The list records every public schedule change from the 2025 window through the final target. Players now hold a single firm date after the two adjustments.
Pre orders opened on June 25, 2026 with two editions available on the confirmed platforms. The standard edition carries a price of $79.99 while the ultimate edition lists at $99.99. Both editions share the same November 19, 2026 launch day across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The November 19, 2026 date followed the November 6, 2025 announcement which set the final target after the May 2026 window. Players receive a firm console launch on current generation systems while earlier targets fell away. The pattern matches prior Rockstar titles that prioritized PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S first.
Each public move included a studio apology that noted development needs which accompanied both schedule changes. Rockstar has issued no comments on content completeness at any stage after the announcements. The November 19, 2026 target remains the only official shipping date listed across all official channels.
| Title | First Platforms | Gap to PC |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto IV | PS3 Xbox 360 | Six months |
| Grand Theft Auto V | PS3 Xbox 360 | One year |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | PS4 Xbox One | Fourteen months |
The table records console first gaps from earlier Rockstar titles. GTA 6 continues the pattern of console priority before any later platforms.
Trailer 2 arrived on May 6, 2025 four days after the first delay announcement. The trailer revealed full names for Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos while expanding the Leonida setting. This pairing followed the May 2, 2025 statement that shifted the target to May 26, 2026.
Rockstar issued apologies with both delay statements which noted ongoing development needs after the original 2025 window. The first shift moved the target to May 26, 2026 while the second set November 19, 2026. Each update kept the focus on console platforms without further platform additions.
Marketing materials tie directly to the November 19, 2026 date which keeps the focus on the confirmed console launch. Rockstar published no statement about a PC release at any point during the updates. The date stays the sole confirmed target across all channels while pre order details emphasize console editions.
The platforms align with current generation hardware only. Players gain simultaneous access across supported systems while last generation consoles receive none.
The December 5, 2023 trailer 1 release established the initial 2025 window on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No month or quarter accompanied that first announcement. The reveal card listed only those two platform families at the time.
The December 2023 reveal set a 2025 window which gave way to the May 2025 delay and the November 2025 adjustment. Players saw Trailer 2 arrive four days after the first delay which paired news with new character details. Pre orders opened later at fixed prices for the confirmed November 19, 2026 launch.
Rockstar added no PC SKU when pre orders opened in June 2026. The studio also omitted any PC mention alongside the August extended look presentation. Official materials continue to name only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as launch platforms.

Rockstar first revealed a 2025 window in December 2023. That window guided expectations until the first delay arrived in May 2025. Two later shifts established the final November 19, 2026 target after public statements.
The standard edition costs $79.99 while the ultimate edition costs $99.99. Both editions opened for pre order on June 25, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. They share the November 19, 2026 launch day with no differences in release timing.
Two delays occurred after the original 2025 window. The first move set May 26, 2026 while the second set November 19, 2026. Each announcement included an apology from the studio.
No PC version has been announced by Rockstar. Official materials name only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Past gaps to PC ranged from six months to fourteen months in earlier titles.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S receive support at launch with full features. PlayStation 5 Pro gains the same support right after release while older systems gain none. The setup matches the original reveal card from December 2023.
