Overview
- Company materials from Take‑Two’s Q3 FY2026 and its earnings call restate a Nov. 19, 2026 release for Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar’s launch marketing slated for summer 2026.
- Zelnick told CNBC the publisher has invested significantly in the run‑up, arguing the campaign must feel authentic because the company is “not selling hamburgers.”
- The game is set to debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, while a PC version has not been officially dated, with multiple outlets reporting it is likely to follow later.
- The current plan follows earlier postponements from an initial late‑2025 target to May 26, 2026, and then to the present November 2026 schedule.
- Outlets expect the summer campaign to bring new trailers, possible gameplay breakdowns, and pre‑order details, though specifics remain unannounced and timing beyond “summer” is not confirmed.
