GTA VI Release Date: November 19, 2026
GTA VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is the release date to use when planning your return to Vice City.
Independent reporting based on official sources. Not written or endorsed by Rockstar Games.
Rockstar’s current game page lists both console platforms. PC, PS4 and Xbox One are absent from that launch listing; there is no PC date to add to your calendar from these sources.
Preload gives you a week for the download
Rockstar Support lists digital preload from local midnight on November 12. Boxed-code buyers depend on receiving and redeeming their code. The launch checklist covers both routes.
What time can you actually start playing?
The sources checked for this page do not give a complete unlock schedule by region and platform. We cannot turn the release date into a reliable appointment for your first session yet.
Our countdown reaches zero at midnight on November 19 in your timezone. For example, the timer reaches zero in Amsterdam before it does in New York. That describes how this calendar countdown works; it does not establish an earlier playable release in one region.
Waiting for a PC version?
A console release date is not a PC release estimate. If PC is where you want to play, the useful next announcement is an explicit PC platform listing or release window. The tracker keeps that question separate from console launch planning.
