Grand Theft Auto VI is 10 days out: what to know about the Nov. 19 launch
Rockstar's release date has held since it moved from May, making it the biggest game launch of the holiday season.
When does Grand Theft Auto VI come out?
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release on Thursday, November 19, 2026, according to Rockstar Games. That is 10 days from the date of this story.
Has the date changed before?
Yes. Rockstar previously set the game for May 26, 2026, then moved it to November 19 in a newswire post that apologized for the added wait. November 19 is the date Rockstar currently lists.
Which platforms is it on?
Rockstar announced the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. It has not announced a PC version.
Why does it matter?
A release this large tends to shape the whole season: other publishers avoid launching near it, retailers build sale events around consoles, and download sizes push some players to clear storage before launch day. If you plan to play on day one, checking free space and your internet plan's data cap now is a practical step.
