GTA 6 Release Date, Unlock Time and Platforms
Rockstar has put one date behind GTA 6 and repeated it to investors. This page separates that confirmed date from the two things that are still genuinely unknown: the exact unlock time, and whether a PC version exists at all.
GTA 6 release date
November 19, 2026 is the launch date Rockstar publishes for Grand Theft Auto VI. Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed it in its fiscal reporting, which matters more than a trailer caption: a public company does not restate a ship date to shareholders unless it expects to hold it.
The game arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. There is no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version, and no Nintendo Switch 2 version has been announced.
The two delays behind the date
- December 2023 — the first trailer points at a 2025 window with no specific day.
- May 2, 2025 — Rockstar moves the game from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026.
- November 6, 2025 — a second delay lands minutes before a Take-Two earnings call, moving the date to November 19, 2026.
- May 2026 — Take-Two reaffirms November 19, 2026 in its quarterly update, and an August 2026 Extended Look confirms it on screen.
Where GTA 6 is confirmed to run
| Platform | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Confirmed, launch day | Includes PS5 Pro; Sony lists the console version only. |
| Xbox Series X|S | Confirmed, launch day | Sold through the Microsoft Store for Series X|S. |
| PC (Windows) | Not announced | No Steam page, no store listing, no requirements published. |
| PlayStation 4 / Xbox One | Not supported | No last-generation version has been announced. |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Not announced | Nothing from Rockstar or Nintendo. |
Sony's official GTA VI DualSense controller is listed “for PS5, PC, Mac and Mobile”. That line describes the controller, not the game, and it is not evidence of a PC version.
About the unlock time
Sources disagree here, so treat it carefully. Some FAQ pages state the game unlocks at midnight local time; tracking sites that check Rockstar's page directly report that no official per-region unlock time has been published yet. What is safe: the date is November 19, 2026, and digital storefronts will display the unlock in your own local time once pre-loading opens. We will publish a city-by-city table the moment Rockstar posts one.
Release date questions

No. Only current-generation consoles are listed. There is no last-generation version.
