Rockstar Sets GTA VI Launch for November 19, 2026 After Latest Delay

Overview

• The new target places the release in the holiday window and it is expected to arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch.
• Rockstar frames the schedule shift as time to finish quality improvements rather than to add major new content.
• Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson estimates the six‑month extension could add about $10 million per month in development costs, a figure not officially confirmed.
• Reports put the project’s budget near $2 billion with more than 6,000 developers contributing across studios in the US, UK and India.
• The date follows earlier internal targets for late 2025 and then mid‑2026 that were pushed back, with November 19, 2026 now set as the official goal.
