GTA 6 Release Date Is November 19, 2026

Rockstar Games has confirmed the launch date for Grand Theft Auto VI. The official site for the game states that it is coming 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

That date is also on the record at Rockstar Support and in Take-Two Interactive's latest earnings materials. This article collects only what those official sources say. For pricing, see our GTA 6 price and editions briefing. For pre-load times and file size, see the preload guide. The release date hub will be updated if Rockstar changes anything.

The official date

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI page currently carries the line "Coming November 19, 2026" and lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the launch platforms. We last checked that page on 15 November 2026.

Rockstar Support's regional pre-load and release times article, last updated 3 November 2026, is more specific about the digital unlock. It says Grand Theft Auto VI "will release midnight local time on November 19, 2026, in all regions for both PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S."

The worldwide calendar date is therefore the same. The moment a digital copy unlocks depends on midnight in your local time zone, not on a single global switch.

What Take-Two has said this month

On 9 November 2026, Take-Two Interactive reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick said: "The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away and, with pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels, we expect to deliver an historic year for our company."

The same release reiterates fiscal 2027 Net Bookings guidance of $8.0 to $8.2 billion. In the product lineup table, Grand Theft Auto VI is listed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a release date of 19 November 2026.

Those comments do not change the date. They confirm that, as of 9 November 2026, Take-Two was still pointing at the same official launch.

What Rockstar has told players directly

Rockstar's official X account has been counting down in public. On 5 November 2026 it wrote that Grand Theft Auto VI was "officially only two weeks away," pointed players to a new collection of screenshots on the official site, and closed with "See you in Leonida on November 19."

On 12 November 2026, one week before launch, the same account wrote that the game was "now only one week away," thanked the community, and reminded players there was still time to pre-order and pre-load. It also said code-in-box versions were "available now for pick-up at retailers worldwide."

Those posts match the date on Rockstar's official site. They do not add a new calendar day or a new platform.

What this date does not include

The official sources cited here confirm a 19 November 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. They do not, in the materials we checked on 15 November 2026, give a date for a PC version. We will not invent one.

Unlock times for a physical copy depend on when a retailer hands over the box and when the download code is redeemed. Rockstar Support covers that process in its platforms and editions article, and we unpack it in the preload guide.

If Rockstar or Take-Two publishes a new date, this story and the release date hub will be updated, and the updated date on the page will move.
