Release date locked: November 19, 2026
Rockstar Games and Take-Two have reaffirmed the November 19, 2026 launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC version confirmed for launch. After two delays, this date now appears firmly locked.
Pre-orders and pricing
Pre-orders are live. The Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $99.99. Rockstar opened pre-orders alongside new screenshots, cover art and the Ultimate Edition reveal — but notably without showing new gameplay.
Marketing has begun — where's Trailer 3?
Rockstar has officially kicked off the GTA VI marketing campaign with a wave of screenshots and artwork. Many fans expected Trailer 3 to drop with pre-orders; it didn't. Based on the current rollout, Trailer 3 may not arrive until August 2026 — though Rockstar is famous for unpredictable timing. Watch for sudden Rockstar website changes; they often precede a big reveal.
What to watch next
- Trailer 3 — expected around August, likely the first big gameplay showcase.
- The launch window — a short, intense marketing burst is expected closer to November.
- Streaming ramp-up — GTA VI is on track to be the biggest streaming event ever. Follow the streamers on our Streamer Wall.
