The Short Answer
Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar locked this date in late 2025, and Take-Two has repeatedly stated it will not move again.
Has GTA 6 Been Delayed? Yes — Twice
“Is GTA 6 delayed again?” remains one of the most-searched questions about the game. The current date is stable, but the road here had two slips:
- December 2023 — Trailer 1 drops and instantly becomes the most-watched game trailer in history. Original target: Fall 2025.
- May 2024 — Delay #1: the window moves to a specific date, May 26, 2026, for additional polish.
- May 2025 — Trailer 2 arrives, captured entirely on PS5.
- September 2025 — Delay #2: the date shifts to November 19, 2026.
- December 2025 — GTA 6 wins “Most Anticipated Game” at The Game Awards for the second straight year.
- June 25, 2026 — Pre-orders open worldwide; pricing and editions confirmed.
- November 19, 2026 — Launch.
Could It Slip a Third Time?
Unlikely at this point. Two trailers are out, pre-orders are live, and marketing is in its final phase — companies don’t open pre-orders on a date they doubt. Nothing is impossible in game development, but every public signal points to November 19 holding.
What About PC?
No PC version has been announced. Rockstar’s own history is the best predictor:
| Game | Console launch | PC launch | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA V | Sep 2013 | Apr 2015 | 19 months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | Oct 2018 | Nov 2019 | 13 months |
| GTA 6 (projection) | Nov 2026 | ~late 2027 – mid 2028 | 13–19 months |
