GTA 6 Release Date and Price Confirmed for PS5 and Xbox

Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for release on Thursday, November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. After multiple postponements from an initial 2025 window, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed the final launch date remains on track. The game was first delayed to May 26, 2026, before being pushed again to its current November date. Zelnick stated that "the November 19 date remains on track and that the marketing campaign will begin in Summer 2026."

Pricing and editions detailed

Rockstar Games has announced two digital-only editions for the initial console launch. Pre-orders did not offer a physical edition, providing only digital codes or codes in a box. The pricing structure sets a new benchmark for major game releases.

Pre-ordering any edition grants immediate access to the Vintage Vice City Pack. This pack includes a ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan, the Shore Court Garage near Ocean Beach with a weapon locker and fencing spot, themed outfits and hairstyles for protagonists Jason and Lucia, and an exclusive weapon pattern inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s tropical shirt. Pre-ordering directly from the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store also provides a complimentary one-month subscription to GTA+.

Ultimate Edition content and PC outlook

The premium Ultimate Edition is packed with exclusive digital content designed to enhance the early game experience. It provides significant in-game assets and customization options not available in the Standard Edition.

Buyers will receive exclusive vehicles like the '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, the ’95 Grotti Cheetah sports car, and the Shitzu Squalo, a pink-and-blue boat docked at Washington Beach that comes with an explosives crate. The edition also grants properties including the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay and the PTT Youngin$ compound, which unlocks a raid mission on a gang-run illegal goods store.

Vehicle Mod Shops at Rideout Customs in Vice City and One-Eyed Willie’s in Lake Leonida are included, along with a Classic Car Collection of four exclusive cars obtainable through the Wyman commission. For the protagonists, the edition offers Jason's Safehouse vehicle enhancements-a Dinka Enduro motorcycle, a Crest Kayak, and a customized Vapid Ganado pickup. It also includes the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolver in matching versions for Jason and Lucia, plus personalized weapon variants for Jason’s Girardi ES9 and Lucia’s Klose K17. Vice City-themed outfits, tattoos, and styles for both characters round out the package.

A PC version of GTA 6 has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games. Based on the past cadence seen with GTA 5, which launched on consoles in September 2013 and reached PC on April 14, 2015, industry observers expect a PC release could follow in late 2027 or early 2028. Some rumors suggest the PC version may arrive sooner than previous titles, but this remains unconfirmed.

Pre-order incentives and ongoing services

The complimentary month of GTA+ offered with digital store pre-orders provides ongoing benefits. The service deposits GTA$500,000 into a player's account monthly. It grants exclusive access to Shark Cards with a 15% bonus in GTA$, offers free and discounted vehicles for GTA Online, and provides a rotating selection of Rockstar and featured games to play.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has mentioned that GTA 6's dedicated multiplayer component is expected to launch separately in 2027. Rockstar has released two official trailers for the game so far. Aaron Garbut, a lead developer, described the game's scope, saying "it's roughly double the size of GTA V's world and is also denser, more detailed, and more interactive." The full marketing campaign for the title is set to begin in the summer of 2026.
