When is GTA VI coming out?
Rockstar currently lists Thursday, November 19, 2026 as the launch date for Grand Theft Auto VI. This is a scheduled release, not a confirmation that the game is already available. Treat date changes from social posts or third-party countdowns as unverified until Rockstar updates its own announcement.
The official game page is the best first stop if the schedule changes. This page was last checked on October 20, 2026.
Which platforms are confirmed?
Rockstar names PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for launch. A PC version and its release window are not confirmed in the cited launch announcements; avoid taking retail placeholders or leaks as official dates.
If you own a PS4 or Xbox One, those consoles are not listed as supported launch platforms.
Preloading and buying safely
Rockstar Support lists November 12, 2026 for preloading through supported console storefronts, with region-specific timing. Its support page also explains digital and code-in-box editions.
Check your console account region against the retailer or platform store before buying. Do not treat unofficial “early access keys” as legitimate simply because they appear in search results.
What remains unconfirmed?
A PC release date, PC system requirements and any launch-day availability on additional platforms are not established by these official sources. Volpedia will not fill these gaps with predictions.
