Rockstar lists November 19, 2026 as the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This guide separates publisher announcements from regional store metadata, and compares editions, checked US and Spain prices, preorder terms, preload and the contents of the physical box.

GTA 6 at a glance

  • Release date: November 19, 2026, according to Rockstar.
  • Confirmed consoles: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
  • PC: no PC version or date announced in the official sources checked by October 20, 2026.
  • Editions: Standard and Ultimate; both include the game.
  • US prices: $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate. Spain store prices checked: €79.99 and €99.99. Other markets are not inferred.
  • Digital preload: November 12 at local midnight.
  • The announced physical box contains a download code, not a disc. Rockstar describes the game as single-player.

When does GTA 6 come out?

Rockstar’s official site and Take-Two’s June 24, 2026 announcement give November 19, 2026. Take-Two said preorders would open June 25 at midnight local time. A preorder date is not a release date, and the November 12 preload is not early access. Rockstar has not published a global unlock hour in the sources checked.

Which platforms will GTA 6 be on?

  • PlayStation 5: confirmed.
  • PlayStation 5 Pro: PlayStation labels the game “PS5 Pro Enhanced”; it has not published a target resolution or frame rate.
  • Xbox Series X|S: confirmed.
  • PC: no version, release date, system requirements or Steam/Epic listing in the official sources checked by October 20.
  • PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch / Switch 2: not announced. PlayStation explicitly says there is no PS4 version; this does not prove technical impossibility on other unannounced systems.

Will GTA 6 come to PC?

At the October 20, 2026 cutoff, Rockstar’s launch and support pages list PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. They give no PC date, requirements or storefront. There is no official basis here for predicting a delay or a particular PC launch year.

How much does GTA 6 cost?

Take-Two’s June announcement set US prices at $79.99 for Standard and $99.99 for Ultimate. On October 20, Xbox Spain displayed €79.99+ and €99.99+, and PlayStation Spain listed those prices too. These are market-specific prices, not currency conversions or promises for all of Europe. Taxes, retailer, format and later price changes can matter.

Standard vs Ultimate Edition

  • Standard: the game. It is sold digitally and in the announced physical code-in-box format.
  • Ultimate: the game plus Ultimate Edition Upgrade items named by Rockstar: ’95 Grotti Cheetah; Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers; personalized weapon variants; Vice City Styles; Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles; Ganado Retro Build; Rideout Customs Mod Shop; Sara’s Unisex Salon; Shitzu Squalo; Stock 305 Clothing Store; ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy and Garage; Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor; One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop; Goodtime Gear; PTT Youngin$ Compound; Classic Car Collection. Rockstar says items are uncovered across chapters; it does not describe them as separate missions or performance upgrades.
  • Checked prices: US Standard / Ultimate: $79.99 / $99.99. Spain Standard / Ultimate: €79.99 / €99.99. The Xbox Spain store lists the digital Ultimate upgrade for €20; the Xbox US store lists it for $20. These are market-specific store prices, not a universal upgrade price.
  • No physical Ultimate Edition has been announced. Physical Standard owners can buy the digital upgrade after redeeming the code.

Preorder bonuses, GTA+ and preload

Rockstar Support says digital preorders and purchases of either edition before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack: a ’55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and Garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. The physical preorder listing also specifies a code for the game and this pack.

  • GTA+: this is separate from the Vintage Vice City Pack and has platform-specific digital-purchase terms. Take-Two described the month for digital preorders. PlayStation Spain extends its offer to eligible digital Standard or Ultimate purchases before November 20; claim by March 31, 2027, once per account. The month is added to an existing GTA+ subscription, and the PlayStation terms say it continues monthly at the then-current price until canceled; the Ultimate Edition Upgrade is not eligible. Xbox Spain’s digital listing says to buy before November 19 at 23:59:59, redeem within 180 days, and limits redemption to one per account on each platform; age-restricted child accounts cannot redeem it. Rockstar’s physical preorder listing specifies a game-and-pack code, not a GTA+ month, so do not assume a physical order includes that subscription offer. Check the terms at your own store and account.
  • The PlayStation Spain offer excludes Bahrain, China, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia and Taiwan. Check your own store and account; availability is not universal.
  • Rockstar Support says digital preload begins November 12 at local midnight. No download size is published in the sources checked.
  • Rockstar/Take-Two say purchase before November 20; Xbox Spain lists a specific cutoff of November 19 at 23:59:59. Follow the terms shown by your platform and store.

Does the physical version include a disc?

Jason, Lucia and Leonida

Rockstar names Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as the protagonists. An easy score goes wrong and draws them into a criminal conspiracy across the fictional state of Leonida, forcing them to rely on each other. Vice City is one location within the state. Rockstar describes the game as a single-player experience; this is the announced premise, not a mission-by-mission plot summary.

What is confirmed for PS5 and Xbox?

Sony describes PS5 features including DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, the controller speaker, Tempest 3D AudioTech and use of the high-speed SSD. Sony labels the game PS5 Pro Enhanced and says it “plays best” on PS5; that is platform messaging, not an independent benchmark. The reviewed announcements give no measured resolution, locked frame rate, 8K claim or detailed Xbox-versus-PlayStation performance comparison.

Trailers and what remains unannounced

Rockstar’s media page lists Trailer 1, Trailer 2, An Extended Look and the launch trailer published October 15, 2026. That is a launch trailer released before the game, not a video published on release day. Rockstar media is copyrighted; this guide links to official pages instead of copying or hosting screenshots or video.

  • No PC date, requirements or storefront announced in the sources checked.
  • No download size or global console unlock time published.
  • No GTA VI online mode confirmed; official listings describe a single-player experience.
  • The announced physical box has no disc; no physical Ultimate edition is announced.
  • No claims here about campaign length, map measurements, frame-rate targets or unannounced features.
