When Is the GTA 6 Release Date?
GTA 6 is set to release on November 19, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The date has been reaffirmed multiple times by Take-Two Interactive's leadership after two earlier delays pushed the game back from its original Fall 2025 target, and later from a planned May 2026 window. Rockstar has stated the extra development time was needed to finish the game to the standard it wanted.
Which Platforms Will GTA 6 Be Available On?
At launch, GTA 6 will only be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. As of now, Rockstar has not announced a PC release date, which is consistent with how the studio handled previous GTA titles, typically releasing on PC roughly a year after the console launch.
How Much Does GTA 6 Cost?
Based on widely reported retailer pricing, the Standard Edition is listed at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition carries a $99.99 price tag. The Ultimate Edition is reported to include a collection of premium vehicles, weapons, and apparel usable across the single-player campaign, rather than online-only content. These prices reflect retailer listings and are not an official Rockstar or Take-Two press release.
Story, Setting & Characters
GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, featuring a modernized version of the beloved Vice City. The story follows two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, who find themselves pulled into a dangerous criminal conspiracy after a job goes wrong. Players will be able to switch between both characters during missions, a first for a mainline GTA title alongside its first playable female lead.
Will There Be a GTA Online Follow-Up?
At launch, GTA 6 is confirmed as a single-player experience. Rockstar has not announced any details about the next generation of GTA Online, and any information circulating about it remains speculation until officially confirmed.
