GTA 6’s release date confirmed, for real this time. Seriously. | usagoldmines.com

The eagerly awaited (and repeatedly delayed) release of Grand Theft Auto VI now has an official-for-real-this-time date of November 19th, 2026. Take-Two Interactive announced this via IGN, confirming the most recent release date. Publisher Rockstar Games, owned by Take-Two, plans to begin marketing the game in the summer of 2026.

GTA 6 was originally scheduled for release in fall 2025, but the publisher postponed that date. Later, it was considered for a launch on May 26th, 2026, then later pushed back even further to November 19th, 2026. Now, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, is optimistic that this final launch date is truly the final launch date.

Zelnick said: “Our execution throughout Fiscal 2026 has been extraordinary and we are highly confident as we approach Fiscal 2027—which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry—led by the November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this Summer.”

GTA 6 is the successor to GTA 5 and continues the popular game franchise, returning to Vice City. The game world will significantly surpass the game worlds of its predecessors. Lucia will be the series’ first female protagonist, while the male lead will be named Jason. A gangster couple, so to speak.

GTA 6 will initially only be released for the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Microsoft Xbox Series X and S. However, a PC version is expected at a later date, perhaps in 2027.
