What the countdown means
The date is confirmed. Rockstar Games has listed November 19, 2026 as the official release date for GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This countdown targets that date at midnight UTC.
Exact unlock times may vary. Digital stores may unlock the game at midnight local time, midnight UTC, or a synchronized global moment. Rockstar has not yet announced the specific unlock approach for GTA 6.
Timezone differences matter. If you are in the US, you may be able to play on November 18 if the game unlocks at midnight in an earlier timezone. This happened with GTA V — New Zealand players could play hours before the US.
Pre-load before launch. Digital pre-load will likely go live 1–2 weeks before November 19. This lets you download the full game so you can play the moment it unlocks. Check the pre-order page for store-specific details.

FAQ
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is the official release date confirmed by Rockstar Games. The date was set after a delay from the originally expected Fall 2025 window.
Yes. GTA 6 was originally targeting Fall 2025 but was delayed to November 19, 2026. Rockstar cited the need for additional development time. As of now, no further delays have been announced.
The official GTA 6 price has not been announced. Standard AAA games currently launch at $69.99, and most analysts expect GTA 6 to follow this pricing for the standard edition. Premium editions could cost $99.99–$119.99. The $100 standard edition rumor has no official backing. See the price tracker for regional estimates.
Pre-orders are not officially live yet. PS Store and Xbox Store support wishlisting, but wishlist is not the same as a pre-order — it does not reserve a copy or charge your payment method. Based on Rockstar's history, pre-orders typically open 2–4 months before launch, so expect news around August–September 2026. Track pre-order status by store.
A PC version has not been officially announced for launch. The confirmed launch platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, every major Rockstar game has eventually come to PC — GTA V took 19 months, RDR2 took 12 months. A PC version of GTA 6 is expected but likely not until late 2027 or early 2028.
