Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Confirmed for November 19, 2026 Rockstar Games has officially set the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI as Thursday, November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has reiterated in recent statements that the game remains on schedule without further delays. This confirmation follows a previous announcement in a November 2025 Rockstar Newswire post, which shifted the release from its original May 26, 2026, target. The delay was attributed to the need for "additional polish" to meet fan expectations, with Rockstar apologizing for the extended wait while expressing excitement about the game’s setting, the fictional state of Leonida and a modernized version of Vice City. As of March 2026, Take-Two executives, including CEO Strauss Zelnick, have consistently emphasized confidence in the November 19 launch date. Zelnick described GTA VI as a "groundbreaking" title for the company and the entertainment industry, with marketing efforts ramping up this summer to capitalize on the holiday shopping season. Major gaming outlets like PCGamesN, GamesRadar, and RockstarINTEL have listed the date as finalized after two delays: an initial shift from a Fall 2025 window to May 2026, followed by a further push to November. The game will launch simultaneously across time zones at midnight local time, with New Zealand players gaining early access. Pre-orders have not yet gone live, though leaks from PlayStation Store databases and speculation suggest a potential start in late March or May 2026. Fans can currently wishlist the game on digital platforms, with physical editions planned for launch, as confirmed in February 2026 Take-Two reports.#rockstar_games #take_two_interactive #strauss_zelnick #leonida #vice_city
