When does GTA VI come out?
Short answer: GTA VI launches on Thursday, November 19, 2026, unlocking at local midnight in each region.
The date was confirmed by Rockstar Games (after moving from May 2026). There is no single global unlock time — the game goes live at midnight in each region, so players further east play first.
Open the release-date pageWhich platforms is GTA VI launching on?
Short answer: The confirmed launch platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $79.99.
These are the platforms Rockstar has confirmed for the initial release. If you are deciding where to buy, this is the answer that matters most right now.

Short answer: A PC version has not been confirmed for launch.
Rockstar has historically brought Grand Theft Auto games to PC after the console release, but nothing about a GTA VI PC version is official yet. We will update this once Rockstar confirms it.
See platform and PC statusWho do you play as in GTA VI?
Short answer: You follow two protagonists, Lucia and Jason — the first time the mainline series uses a dual lead.
Lucia is the first female protagonist in a mainline Grand Theft Auto. Deeper story details are limited to what Rockstar has shown in official trailers.

Where does GTA VI take place?
Short answer: In the state of Leonida, a Florida-inspired world built around a modern Vice City.
Trailers show Vice City nightlife, beaches, wetlands, and surrounding towns. The full map and location list have not been officially detailed.
Explore Leonida and Vice CityCan I preload GTA VI?
Short answer: Yes — preload opens on November 12, 2026, at local midnight.
Digital pre-orders unlock preload from November 12, 2026, at midnight in your store-account region. Changing your console clock won't move it earlier, and preload still leaves first-boot setup and a possible day-one patch for launch night.
Check preload and release timingAre there editions or pre-order bonuses?
Short answer: There are Standard ($79.99) and Ultimate editions; pricier editions get no early access.
The Standard edition is the safer default unless the Ultimate extras clearly match how you plan to play. Note the physical Ultimate edition does not include a disc. All editions unlock at the same time.
Compare editions & pre-orderWill GTA VI have an online or multiplayer mode?
Short answer: Rockstar has not detailed online or multiplayer plans for GTA VI.
Given the success of GTA Online, an online component is widely expected, but nothing specific is confirmed. Follow the news hub for official updates.
