File Section · 00 / Briefing
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S — a date Rockstar reaffirmed after moving it from an earlier May 2026 window. It returns to Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, with two playable protagonists, Lucia and Jason, in a Bonnie-and-Clyde story told across two official trailers. Two soundtrack songs are confirmed from trailer audio; PC system requirements, pricing, and pre-orders all remain officially unannounced.

officialConfirmedOne day before pre-orders, Take-Two's press release calls GTA 6 'a single-player experience' and the PlayStation Store confirms no multiplayer modes. Here's what that means for a new GTA Online — and when it realistically arrives.
officialConfirmedRockstar confirmed it: GTA 6 pre-orders open June 25, 2026, with the November 19 release locked and official cover art — Jason and Lucia over Vice City — finally revealed. Here's what's confirmed, what's still coming at go-live, and why it all but kills a 2027 delay.
analysisSpeculationRockstar hasn't priced GTA 6 yet — but Take-Two's CEO has dropped strong hints. Here's what's actually on the record: Zelnick's $70–80 framing, the $100 rumor he already killed, the industry's move to $80, and what pre-orders will finally confirm.
analysisConfirmedGTA 6 was a no-show at the June 2 PlayStation State of Play — no trailer, no logo, no bundle. With Take-Two's CEO pointing the marketing start at the end of June or early July, Trailer 3 and pre-orders now point to that window, while November 19 holds firm.
analysisConfirmedOn the May 21 earnings call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said GTA 6's marketing will be significant and deliberately unlike GTA V's 2013 network-TV blitz — starting this summer, built for a digital-first 2026. Here's what he actually said.
rumorRumoredThe same GTAForums leaker who correctly called the Best Buy May 18–21 window a miss is now naming a hard date: Trailer 3 on Tuesday, May 26, tied to a Sony State of Play appearance. Here is what the signal actually says — and where Take-Two's own CEO is pulling against it.
