GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That is Rockstar's current announced date, replacing May 26, 2026. A PC release has not been announced.
The date to use when planning
November 19 is the launch target to use for the console game. Older pages mentioning May 26 are recording an earlier schedule, rather than a separate edition or an early-access period.
Take-Two's May 2, 2025 statement documents the first delay: the game moved from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. Rockstar subsequently announced the November date on November 6, 2025. The announcement timeline puts these changes alongside the trailers.
Preorders and US prices
Preorders are open. The US PlayStation Store currently lists:
| Edition | US listed price |
|---|---|
| Standard | $79.99 |
| Ultimate | $99.99 |
These are US storefront prices, not currency conversions for other regions. The difference is $20; the edition guide explains the extra content before you decide whether it is useful to you.
The PlayStation listing also advertises a seven-day preload. Preloading means downloading in advance of release, not playing a week early. For the timestamps currently shown by regional PS5 stores, see our unlock-time report.
What PC players can plan around
There is no announced PC date to compare with November 19. Reports of a shorter wait do not supply one. The PC release guide covers that uncertainty and the absence of published system requirements.
If your existing platform is PC, the unresolved issue is the length of the wait. If you already own a supported console, the useful preparation is simpler: check your account region, the edition you want and the release information attached to that store purchase.
