Release date and platforms

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar's site says it "plays best on PlayStation 5". The game was first aimed at fall 2025, then delayed to May 26, 2026, and then to November 19, 2026. The full story is in our GTA 6 timeline.

Rockstar Games@RockstarGames

Grand Theft Auto VI is now only one week away! Thank you to everyone in the community for your incredible support. There’s still time to pre-order and pre-load so you’re ready on launch day. Code-in-box versions are also available now for pick-up at retailers worldwide.

There is no PC version yet. Rockstar's last three big games all came to PC after console, so a later PC release is likely but not confirmed.

Price and editions

The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99. Everyone who buys before November 20 also gets the Vintage Vice City Pack. Boxed copies contain a download code, not a disc. Our editions and pre-load guide lists everything in each one.

Story: Jason and Lucia

Lucia Caminos is fresh out of the Leonida Penitentiary. Jason Duval is an Army veteran working for drug runners in the Keys. Together they are the series' first playable criminal couple. Meet them and the rest of the cast in our GTA 6 characters guide.

Map: Leonida and Vice City

GTA 6 returns to Vice City, Rockstar's Miami, as part of a whole fictional state called Leonida. Rockstar told Game Informer the map is roughly twice the size of GTA V's. Official regions include the Leonida Keys, the Grassrivers wetlands, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. See them all in our Leonida map guide.

Music

French duo Justice composed the original score. GTA VI: The Album has 34 original tracks and releases alongside the game. Six in-game radio stations have been revealed so far. More in our soundtrack and radio guide.

Is there a GTA 6 online mode?

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said GTA 6 launches as a single-player experience. Rockstar has not announced when an online mode will follow, or whether anything carries over from GTA Online.
