GTA 6 FAQ

When is GTA 6 releasing?

Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026. Rockstar Games confirmed the date after two delays from its original 2025 window, and it has been reaffirmed through 2026. Digital preloading is expected about a week before launch, so pre-ordered copies can be ready to play the moment the game unlocks.

Which platforms will GTA 6 be available on?

At launch, GTA 6 is available only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no version for PS4 or Xbox One, since the game was built for current-generation hardware. Rockstar has not announced a Nintendo Switch 2 or PC version for the November 19, 2026 release.

When do GTA 6 pre-orders open?

GTA 6 pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, through the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and select retailers. Rockstar announced the date on its Newswire. Pre-ordering locks in your copy for the November 19 launch and lets digital buyers preload the game before release day.

Will GTA 6 come to PC?

Rockstar has not announced a PC release date yet. Its past games suggest a PC version will follow later: GTA 5 reached PC about 19 months after its console debut, and Red Dead Redemption 2 about a year after. Until Rockstar confirms details, treat any specific PC date you see as speculation.
