Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar set the date on November 6, 2025, and Take-Two has repeated it since, most recently on September 17, 2026. See the GTA 6 release date.

On PS5, at midnight in each store region's main time zone, per the PlayStation Store listings: 12:00 AM Eastern on November 19 across the US and Canada (9:00 PM Pacific on November 18) and midnight in the UK. Xbox has not listed a time. See the unlock time in every region.

No. Neither edition includes early access, and pre-loading from November 12 only downloads the game until your store's launch unlock (New Zealand goes first, at midnight local time on November 19). See GTA 6 early access.

No. It was delayed twice, to May 26, 2026 and then to November 19, 2026, and no third delay has been announced or credibly reported. See every GTA 6 delay.

From local midnight on November 12, 2026 on both consoles, per Rockstar Support. Boxed copies become available the same day, so physical buyers pre-load once they redeem the code. See how to pre-load GTA 6.

Launch is Thursday, November 19, 2026, and our live timer counts down to your region's PS5 unlock time, or to local midnight where no store time is listed. See the GTA 6 countdown.

$79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition in the US (£69.99 and £89.99 in the UK), and Standard owners can upgrade for $20 at any time. See GTA 6 price by country.

Only the Ultimate Edition, at $99.99. The Standard Edition, which is the full game, is $79.99. See GTA 6 price.

No. It costs $79.99 or $99.99, no subscription deal has been announced, and sites offering a free download or free code are scams. See how to avoid GTA 6 scams.

Not of the game, which comes only as Standard or Ultimate. Since September 24, 2026 the Rockstar Store has taken pre-orders for a $399.99 collector's box, The Goodtime State - Vice City Collection: 11 pieces of merchandise and no copy of the game, one per person, shipping from November 19. See the GTA 6 collector's box.

The Vintage Vice City Pack (a '55 Vapid Stanier, a garage, 1980s outfits and a weapon pattern) on every pre-order and purchase before November 20, 2026. Digital pre-orders on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store also get one free month of GTA+. See the pre-order bonus.

Claim it on the GTA+ page of the PlayStation Store by March 31, 2027, or in the Microsoft Store's Offers & Credits within 180 days. It comes with digital purchases only and renews at $7.99 a month unless you switch renewal off. See how to claim free GTA+.

Yes. Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026 on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Store and at retailers, and a purchase on launch day still gets the pre-order bonus. See where to pre-order or buy GTA 6.

No. The box holds a Standard Edition download code and no disc, and it becomes available to ship and pick up from November 12. See the physical edition.

On PlayStation, a pre-order paid more than 14 days before release can be cancelled up to release as long as the download has not started (pre-loading counts), so cancel by November 10 if Auto-Download is on. On Xbox, cancel in your order history up to 10 days before launch, and request a refund after that. See how to cancel and refund a GTA 6 pre-order.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC, Switch 2, PS4 or Xbox One version has been announced. See GTA 6 platforms.

Not announced. GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 reached PC 7 to 19 months after their console launches, and Take-Two's CEO called PC "more and more important" on September 17, 2026. See GTA 6 on PC.

Not announced. A YouTuber said Rob Nelson, co-studio head at Rockstar North, told visitors the game ran at 30 fps during development (reported), and Digital Foundry measured the Extended Look at 30 fps. See GTA 6 frame rate and 60 fps.

Yes. The PlayStation Store listing carries the PS5 Pro Enhanced badge, but neither Sony nor Rockstar has said what it improves. See GTA 6 on PS5 Pro.

Not as things stand. The Microsoft Store listing does not include GTA 6 in any Game Pass plan (checked September 26, 2026), and reporting says it will not join at launch. See GTA 6 on Xbox.

No. The PlayStation Store listing says the game is not playable on PS4, and there is no Xbox One version. See GTA 6 on PS4 and Xbox One.

Not announced. Two insiders have claimed tests and a 2027 port (rumor), and a former Rockstar developer who worked on GTA 6 until 2020 said in September 2026 that he doubts a port makes sense (reported). See GTA 6 on Switch 2.

No. It launches as a single-player game with offline play enabled on the PlayStation listing, so you need the internet only to download it. See what GTA+ is and who needs it.

No, because there is no multiplayer at launch. Crossplay only becomes a question if an online mode arrives. See GTA 6 crossplay.

Not announced, and no store lists one. The "676.7 GB" figure came from a doctored screenshot, and estimates of 150 to 200 GB are rumor. See GTA 6 file size.

No console bundle has been announced. Sony's two Limited Edition GTA VI DualSense controllers cost $84.99 and launch November 19. See the GTA 6 controller and GTA 6 bundles.

No final rating yet: esrb.org and pegi.info have no GTA VI entry as of September 26, 2026. The stores show pending labels, such as "ESRB Rating Pending Mature 17+" in the US and "PEGI Provisional 18" on the UK PlayStation Store. See GTA 6 age rating.

Rockstar has announced no ID or age-verification requirement. The age checks some players run into come from console account and chat rules in certain countries, not from GTA 6. See GTA 6 age verification.

Not on console, and no PC version is announced. Rockstar's mod guidelines, dated September 10, 2026, ban story mods and unofficial ports and allow multiplayer mods only through its Creator Platform. See GTA 6 mods.

Not yet: none had been published as of September 23, 2026. Lists usually appear shortly before launch, so any list circulating now is unverified. See GTA 6 trophies.

None are known, since the game is not out. In GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, an active cheat blocked trophies and achievements. See GTA 6 cheats.

Leonida, Rockstar's version of Florida, with Vice City as the main city and the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park around it. See the GTA 6 map.

Lucia Caminos, fresh out of Leonida Penitentiary, and Jason Duval, an Army veteran who drifted into work for drug runners in the Keys. See GTA 6 characters.

Yes, but the story controls it: some missions lock you to one character, some force a swap and some let you switch freely, according to Rob Nelson (reported). See how to switch characters for the button and how switching works for the rules.

Rockstar has not named any cast. Manni L. Perez (Lucia) and Dylan Rourke (Jason) are rumors, and outlets disagree on whether Perez ever denied it (Dexerto says she did; GameRant says she has never confirmed nor denied the role). See the GTA 6 cast.

About 80 hours, going by Rob Nelson's own playthrough as reported by The New York Times. See GTA 6 story length.

The present day. The trailers show smartphones and vertical social-media videos, a long way from the 1986 setting of the 2002 Vice City. See Vice City history.

No sign of him, though Rockstar's edition copy nods to him twice: the pre-order weapon pattern is based on his palm-tree shirt, and the Ultimate Edition revolvers are "sourced from the Vercetti Estate." See Vice City history.

Nothing official says so. No GTA V lead, Trevor included, has appeared in Rockstar's trailers, screenshots or text, and Rockstar has not announced any returning character. See returning characters in GTA 6.

Possibly one. Fans widely identify Valentina from the Extended Look as the Valentina of GTA Online's 2025 Money Fronts update, but Rockstar has not confirmed it. See Valentina.

Six stars on the HUD, the same ceiling as GTA IV (GTA V had five), plus evidence icons that show what police know, such as your face, clothing, vehicle or CCTV footage. See the wanted level explained.

A per-character reputation, described in previews, that moves from Professional through Aggressive and Violent to Psycho depending on how you play. See the Criminal Profile.

No map-menu teleport has been shown. Previews list the Ryde Me ride-hailing app, buses, trains, trams and taxis as the ways to cover distance. See how to fast travel.

Garages yes, safehouses no, according to previews, because Jason and Lucia's hideouts change by chapter. See GTA 6 properties.

Take-Two's CEO said on September 17, 2026 that "no recurrent consumer spending" is anticipated for the launch, and the $20 Ultimate upgrade is the only add-on announced. See microtransactions and Shark Cards and how money works in GTA 6.

Yes. Rockstar says Mount Kalaga National Park offers prime hunting and fishing, and its screenshots show rifles in the woods, alligator hunting in the Grassrivers and Jason holding a fishing rod. See hunting and fishing.

Not shown yet. Airliners, helicopters and a blimp appear in the world, but no player-piloted aircraft has appeared in official footage. See GTA 6 vehicles.

Game Informer says the digital issue arrives September 29, 2026, with print "in the coming weeks." It promises a 14-page story with interviews with several Rockstar lead designers and 12 new screenshots, covering weather, wildlife and Rockstar's research into Miami and Florida. See Game Informer's GTA 6 cover story.

Not at launch. Take-Two said on September 17, 2026 that GTA 6 launches as a single-player game. See GTA 6 Online.

No. Both store listings call GTA 6 a single-player experience, and the PlayStation Store lists it as 1 player. See GTA 6 Online.

Not announced. Twitch's CEO Dan Clancy told Bloomberg that multiplayer comes "next year," meaning 2027, but that is not a Rockstar statement. See GTA 6 Online.

The 2022 hack was real, and so were the August 2026 clips, which Rockstar called "heartbreaking for our team." We describe leaks but never host or link them. See the GTA 6 leaks timeline.

Rockstar has never released anything called Trailer 3. The 26-minute Extended Look came out August 27, 2026, and no launch trailer has appeared yet. See the Trailer 3 question.
