Rockstar Sets Grand Theft Auto VI for November 19, 2026
Take-Two says a summer marketing push will kick off pre-orders for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launch.
Overview
- Rockstar Games and parent Take-Two have confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI will release on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
- Take-Two has told investors it will begin a full marketing campaign this summer and expects pre-orders to open during that rollout, but storefront listings are not yet live.
- An Xbox social post linking to a GTA 6 wishlist and widespread retailer rumors have fueled public expectation for a new trailer and pre-order timing, though those signals have not been officially explained.
- Multiple unverified leaks circulating online claim the game features dual protagonists (Lucia and Jason), an expanded Vice City with more enterable buildings, and next‑gen AI and driving upgrades, but Rockstar has not confirmed these details.
- Based on Rockstar’s past launches, analysts expect digital preloads to appear roughly 48–72 hours before release and Take-Two’s financial forecasts show the game’s sales will be a key near‑term driver for the company.
