GTA 6 Release Date: November 19, 2026

Rockstar's official release date for GTA 6, confirmed after two prior delays and repeatedly reaffirmed by Take-Two since.

The confirmed date

GTA 6 is scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is Rockstar's own official date, announced directly and not sourced from leaks or rumors.

A brief history of the delays

The game was originally targeted for a 2025 window before Rockstar pushed it to May 26, 2026, and then again to its current November 19, 2026 date. Two delays in a row is worth being upfront about -- it's part of why we track official statements this closely rather than taking any date as final until Take-Two reaffirms it.

Why we trust this date holds

Take-Two has repeatedly reaffirmed the November 19, 2026 date in investor communications, most recently this month, with no signals of another shift. See our verification standards for exactly how we track and confirm dates like this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing is impossible, but Take-Two's repeated, recent reaffirmations make another delay look unlikely at this point. We'll update this article immediately if that changes.
