Launch Week
Two delays later, November 19 is holding: Take-Two says the date is real
Long-time watchers earned their caution. GTA 6 was first aimed at fall 2025, then moved to May 26, 2026, then pushed once more - in November 2025 - to November 19, 2026, with Rockstar saying the extra time would let it finish the game to the standard players expect. Every delay since has been met with the same question: is this one real?
This time, every signal says yes. Rockstar's own store and support pages carry the November 19 date with pre-load instructions already live. Both console stores list it. And in Take-Two's quarterly results on November 9, the company's CEO described the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI as "ten days away" - executives do not talk like that about a date they are about to move.
So: Thursday, November 19, midnight local time, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. See the Unlock Times page for what midnight means in your city.
