GTA 6: Everything We Know So Far
A single, up-to-date summary of everything confirmed about GTA 6 — release date, price, platforms, setting, and what's still unknown.
GTA 6 has moved from years of speculation into a fully confirmed release with an open pre-order window. Here's a single, current summary of everything Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed, alongside what's still unknown.
Release Date and Platforms
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has stated this date is final and won't be delayed again, following an earlier development window that slipped roughly 18 months from Rockstar's original internal target.
Setting and Characters
The game is set in Leonida, a Florida-inspired state built around a modern version of Vice City, with confirmed additional regions including the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. The story follows two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, framed as a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style criminal partnership. Lucia is the first female protagonist in mainline series history.
Price and Editions
Two editions are available: Standard at $79.99 (£69.99), available physically or digitally, and Ultimate at $99.99 (£89.99), digital-only, adding bonus vehicles, personalized weapons, exclusive apparel, and access to two exclusive in-game shops.
Pre-Orders
Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026, alongside the official cover art reveal on June 18. Anyone pre-ordering before November 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack. Digital pre-load begins November 12, 2026.
Trailers
Two official trailers have released so far, establishing the setting, protagonists, and visual tone. A third is widely expected before launch, though no date has been confirmed.
Online Mode
GTA 6 will include online play at launch, and Rockstar has said it plans to keep expanding the game's world with new content over time — but specific modes, features, and monetization for the online component haven't been detailed.
What's Still Unconfirmed
- A PC release date — not announced, though Rockstar's history with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 suggests a port could follow roughly a year or more after console launch
- Cross-platform play between PS5 and Xbox
- Official install size
- A confirmed frame rate on console
- Full map size (community estimates suggest 2 to 2.7 times larger than GTA 5's, unofficially)
- A date for the third trailer
