After more than a decade of waiting, it's nearly here. Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Thursday, 19 November 2026, and it's set to be the biggest entertainment release of the year.
Here's everything confirmed so far: the release date, platforms, the road to launch, and a few ways to fill the final days of the countdown.
When Does GTA 6 Come Out?
GTA 6 releases on 19 November 2026. Rockstar Games announced the date in November 2025, and publisher Take-Two has repeated it on its earnings calls throughout 2026.

The Road to November: GTA 6's Delays
GTA 6 has moved twice:
- Original target: fall 2025.
- First delay: announced in May 2025, moving launch to 26 May 2026.
- Second delay: announced on 6 November 2025, moving launch to 19 November 2026. Rockstar said the extra months would let it finish the game to the standard fans expect.
Since then, the date has held. Take-Two reaffirmed it in early 2026 and started its marketing push over the summer.
Is GTA 6 Coming to PC?
Not at launch. GTA 6 arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S first, and no PC date has been announced. Past Rockstar games have reached PC later, so a PC version may follow, but nothing is confirmed.
Welcome Back to Vice City
GTA 6 returns to Vice City, Rockstar's take on Miami, now part of a wider state called Leonida. It's the series' first trip back to Vice City since the 2000s, and its first starring duo: Lucia and Jason.
Expect neon nights, beaches, high-stakes schemes and a city that never sleeps. Fans are already asking whether Vice City will have a casino. We dig into that in Will GTA 6 Have a Casino?
Filling the Final Days of the Wait
Nine days to go. If you're counting down, here are a few ways to get into the Vice City spirit:
- Rewatch the trailers and catch details you missed.
- Revisit GTA V or GTA Online to warm up your driving skills.
- Spin a heist-themed slot. Robbers, vaults and big scores are a slot-world favourite. See our pick of heist slots for GTA fans.
- Try something new. Platinum Reels' newest slot, Ebenezer's Gold, lands on 11 November.
