Rockstar Pushes GTA 6 Console Launch to Nov. 19, 2026

The studio cites polish, with PC release plans still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Rockstar and Take-Two set a new release date of November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, replacing the previously targeted May 2026 window.
  • Rockstar says the delay is to ensure a fully polished experience and reduce the risk of high-profile bugs at launch.
  • No PC date has been announced, and industry reporting suggests the PC version may follow much later, potentially late 2027 or 2028.
  • Gaming insider Tom Henderson reports the game is “content complete” and says he does not expect another delay, though this has not been confirmed by Rockstar.
  • Coverage projects marketing shifts, with a third trailer likely around May–June 2026 and pre-orders expected closer to August–September 2026.
